Lamentable
Cons:

Viajeros tener cuidado con este hotel, habían chinches en la habitación a parte de toda la suciedad, un chinche es un tema muy peligroso si os lleváis uno a casa ya tenéis la plaga, a parte de toda la suciedad que había, avisemos a Recepción y cambiaron de habitación a mis hijos, pero como con el inglés era complicado explicarles no se enteraron de la situación tan preocupante y que debían fumigar el hotel entero ,

Don’t choose this hotel
Pros:

The breakfast is not good. In shower room, the water can’t go away during shower. The shower room smells sewer, and the room also smells bad. The reception girl is rude.

Bon séjour parfait pour une nuit
Pros:

Accueil 24h/24, en arrivant à 2h du matin aucun problème, le veilleur de nuit hyper sympathique qui vous fait des citations de français. La proximité de l'aéroport à 1/4 h à pied.

Cons:

Certes on entend les avions qui décollent, assez limité toutefois avec le double vitrage mais on ne peut pas tout avoir.

Solo una notte per "scalo tecnico".
Pros:

Ottima posizione rispetto all'aeroporto, raggiungibile anche a piedi con 20-25 minuti di cammino

Cons:

I letti sono scomodi, il bagno è ridotto all'essenziale.
Anche la colazione non merita elogi
