Hôtel Labat, an intriguing establishment housed in what was once an old clinic, presents a unique but somewhat polarizing accommodation experience. The building's history is evident in the design and functionality of its rooms, which still feature elements like oxygen outlets and a somewhat sterile, hospital-like atmosphere.
On a positive note, the rooms are described as large with some boasting two big windows that permit an abundance of natural light. The presence of a refrigerator in the room is a convenient feature for guests. The cleanliness of the rooms is generally satisfactory, although there have been occasional lapses.
However, several areas for improvement have been highlighted. Guests have noted that the towels are too small and the overall room maintenance, including cleaning, can be inconsistent. Some visitors mentioned outdated and defective facilities, an uncomfortable bed and rooms that are difficult to locate within the hotel. Additionally, issues like the fitted sheets being too small, lack of lamps next to the bed and the dated, simple mechanical ventilation system have been reported.
The bathroom and toilet areas, although functional, have been critiqued for their rustic design and lack of comfort. A few guests also faced disappointments with room descriptions not matching expectations, such as rooms lacking windows.
Despite the hospital-like décor and the need for better upkeep and renovations, the hotel's unique concept and striking façade continue to attract curious travelers. Nonetheless, potential guests should be aware of the mixed experiences reported by previous visitors.
