Rapport qualité prix beaucoup trop élevé pour la description que l’hôtel fait de lui
Pros:

La literie est très confortable et l’emplacement est idéal (proche du centre mais calme). Le personnel est également agréable.

Cons:

En observant les photos, nous nous attendions à une piscine et une salle de sport plus spacieuses. Les photos ne sont pas du tout représentatives. La piscine ne permet pas d’être plus de 2-3 individus en même temps.

Par ailleurs, le déjeuner ne convenait pas à nos attentes (manque de produit frais et de produit faits maisons).

Pour finir, nous avions une chambre avec un lit King size. Il y avait de la saleté sur la moquette, et malgré le passage de la femme de ménage le lendemain, la saleté était toujours présente. Il y avait également de la poussière sur le rebord du lavabo et des poils dans notre lit (qui ne nous appartenait pas). Sans oublier la tête de lit qui tenait grâce a du scotch.
