Pros:

La localisation géographique est un atout majeur ainsi que la terrasse au dernier étage.

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner est varié mais les produits sont très peu qualitatifs. Je recommande de ne pas le prendre.

Pros:

Everything about this stay was great! a brilliant location, a lovely atmosphere, and a room that was spotless and really comfortable.
But the star of our stay was definitely Andrian at the front desk. He didn’t just do his job, he genuinely cared and it showed in every interaction. Hotels live and die by the quality of their people, and Andrian is exactly the kind of person that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended! :)
