Pros:

L’emplacement géographique de l’hôtel est parfait. La literie est très confortable. Petit plus pour la piscine malgré le fait qu’elle soit un petit peu froide ça fait du bien de se rafraîchir. Le personnel au niveau de l’accueil est très agréable. Quant aux technicien.ne.s de surface, les chambres sont nettoyées tous les jours. L’anglais est maîtrisé ce qui facilite les échanges avec l’ensemble du personnel.

Cons:

La piscine peut être davantage nettoyée. Certaines personnes sont bruyantes dans les couloirs (pas le personnel mais les hôtes)

You get what you pay for. Location is amazing
Pros:

Location is amazing. Not enough hangers in room and they advertise that hairdryers and irons are available. However, they are not in your room so you have to ask at reception for one of these items and they are not always available.
Housekeeping left us without some facilities twice so we had to call down to reception who were happy to help.

Cons:

Pool area
