Aangenaam verblijf met enkele minpuntjes
Pros:

De locatie was top, ook de bar in het hotel was gezellig. Personeel vriendelijk. Goed bed, en zalige kussens

Cons:

De kamer op zich viel wat tegen. Ik had er meer van verwacht, is wel wat aan renovatie toe. Ook de hygiëne kan beter, de lavabo in de badkamer was niet echt proper, de douche mag ook eens goed aangepakt worden. Beter schoonmaken op de kamers, veel stof achter het gordijn.

Très bien à part le prix
Pros:

La situation parfaite pour visiter la ville à pied.
Près des beaux monuments et de la lys.
Excellent petit déjeuner quoique cher quand même (24€/pers)😏
Chambre confortable, il faudrait quand même penser à graisser les charnières de la porte qui grince très fort.

Cons:

Le prix exagéré du parking (30€)😏
Le prix du petit déjeuner

Hôtel correct mais un peu cher
Pros:

Emplacement idéal
Chambre propre et spacieuse (voir infra pour les inconvénients)
Salle de bain fonctionnelle et propre

Cons:

La porte de la chambre est ultra compliquée à fermer. Je dois la claquer super fort ce qui n'est pas génial pour les voisins.
La vue sur la piscine couverte d'une bâche verte et pleine de feuilles ne colle pas vraiment à l'image chic de l'hôtel.
Au rez de chaussée forte odeur de tuyaux bouchés sans doute à cause de la vieillesse du réseau d'égouttage. Dommage pr un hôtel car c'est juste à côté de la salle commune pour dîner.
Sauna pas accessible hélas pdt mon séjour.
Le matelas était un peu creusé et mériterait d'être changé
