L'Ambassade Petit Hotel

Rooms

Bedrooms are spotless, airy and spacious. Expect cream stone tiles and polished parquet, pale walls enlivened by the occasional picture, unfussy curtains of good quality, comfortable new beds and warm antique touches - perhaps a mahogany chest or a cheval mirror.

Overlooking the front garden are 2 single rooms sharing a bathroom, and a good-sized double with a lovely big window and an embroidered bedspread. We stayed in the bigger Deluxe Double, which has a wonderfully spacious wardrobe and its own terrace with a view of the garden and swimming pool. We also had a peek into the Pool Loft, which has independent access from the garden and pool via sliding glass doors. The small but well-kitted kitchenette makes this room perfect for families (it can fit a baby cot and a rollaway bed, too).

Bathrooms are white-tiled, immaculate and brand new, yet traditional in style. Soap and shampoo are provided, and all rooms have a bathtub with an overhead shower apart from the single rooms' shared bathroom, which has a shower only. If the double room is unoccupied then guests in the single rooms can use the tub in its bathroom.
