Pros:

L’hôtel possède une architecture absolument magnifique et un très beau lobby. Le personnel est également très professionnel et agréable, avec une mention particulière pour les femmes de ménage, qui ont été vraiment au top.

Cons:

Malheureusement, l’expérience dans l’hôtel est loin d’être à la hauteur de ce que l’on pourrait attendre.

Une mauvaise odeur était présente dans les couloirs ainsi que dans la chambre, ce qui était particulièrement désagréable.

La chambre était également datée, avec des finitions qui laissent à désirer et par endroits des fissures et craquelures visibles.
