Pros:

Son emplacement à côté de la gare
Calme

Cons:

Miteux! Cet « hôtel » mérite un rafraîchissement d’urgence, nous avions une chambre au rez de chaussée et étions juste de passage pour être plus près de la gare.
La literie est catastrophique ( matelas tout mou et à bout de souffle à travers lequel on sent tous les ressorts)
La salle de bain est très petite et le robinet de l’évier coule en permanence
La propreté de la chambre laissait a désirer et tout était très vieillot

Filthy, safety hazardous stairs - disgusting.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Absolutely filthy- was put in basement which has a dangerous staircase with no handrail at the top. Am disabled and asked for a groundfloor room which was ignored. Room was not cleaned on arrival plus bathroom was filthy and had toe nail clippings stuck in the floor mat.

Overpriced and disappointing
Pros:

Room was very large. They went to some effort to keep rooms clean ... But then, bizarrely, left dirty washing strewn about the stairs.

Cons:

Overpriced. Clearly needs maintenance; cold tap didn't work, (shared) toilet door didn't close properly, curtains falling off, etc.

Pros:

De ligging

Cons:

De prijs kwaliteit verhouding.
Wij hebben hier best een prijs voor betaald.
€ 228 voor 1 nacht.
We kregen een kamer met 2 bedden daar is ook alles mee gezegt😅.
De bedden zelf waren ook verschrikkelijk.
Zie de foto's wij waren enrom teleurgesteld met dit hotel voor deze prijs.
Dit kan echt niet!!!

last resort hotel
Pros:

decent location

Cons:

unsanitary, the doors were so loud I heard whenever someone went to the bathroom, mold on the walls/ceiling/windowsill, one tap didn't work, the door was broken (I tried using a hairband to secure the lock out of pure paranoia), room was hot and stuffy.

Mal muy mal
Cons:

Las instalaciones del año de Jesús, la habitación horrorosa, sucia, sábanas oliendo mal, cojín con lamparones de mierda, pasas un frío por las noches que te levantas congelados, la moqueta no la limpian desde hace un siglo, telarañas, mucho polvo, el bater sucio,
