Séjour très agréable, familial et bons petits déjeuners
Pros:

Le responsable est trop sympathique ainsi que son frère. Les petits déjeuners sont très bons avec gâteaux et yaourts maison.
L'hôtel est en plein centre ville et très silencieux. La propriété de la chambre et de la literie. Tout est bien. Irréprochable. (4 nuits)

Cons:

On ne passe pas sa journée dans la chambre donc elle est peut-être petite mais tout le reste est tellement agréable.

Adequate for one night stay.
Pros:

Very near restaurants & shops. Entrance had a code so not everyone can just enter.

Cons:

Outside was not very well lighted so it can be shady/ sus / questionable for travelers not familiar with the area. Bed was very creaky, but adequate.

Hôtel très agréable ! Nous reviendrons encore
Pros:

La localisation de l'hôtel est idéale et le personnel très sympathique. Petit plus pour les bons produits servis au petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Je pense que des essuie-mains en tissu pourraient être mis à disposition dans les chambres pour les lavabos avec des porte-savons et des serviettes pour les cheveux.
