Très bon emplacement mais hôtel à haute densité très peu confortable.
Pros:

L'emplacement a5mn à pied du centre historique et du port.
La possibilité du parking au port

Cons:

L'exiguité de la chambre et surtout de la salle de douche.
Le fait d'être au 5ème étage au bout d'un couloir étroit : je ne me suis pas sentie en sécurité.
Nousne sommes pas restés la 2ème nuit.

Worth the booking, would stay here again.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location. Close parking.

Cons:

Not the fault of the property, just the design of the rooms. High steps where you are not expecting them, coming into the room or into the bathroom.

Sijainnin perusteella valittu majoitus.
Pros:

Sijainti lähellä päärautatieasemaa, huoneessa minijääkaappi

Cons:

Meluisa ympäristö, ulkoa kuului liikenteen äänet läpi yön. Aamiainen vaatimaton. Huoneeseen hissin lisäksi vielä kahdet portaat.

Deludente rispetto alle altre volte in cui siamo stati qui.
Pros:

Camera ottima, pulizia perfetta, condizionatore ok.

Cons:

Il bagno è decisamente piccolo e la doccia scomodissima, soprattutto non capisco perché debba essere un gradino più in alto del abagno, è anche molto pericolosa.
E la colazione, una volta era la perfezione. Noi non abbiamo trovato quasi niente, e siamo scesi alle 10 e mezza.
Poi c'era la possibilità di farsi la sprmuta da soli con le arance vero, e ora non più.
