Personnel accueillant mais conditions de confort plus que minimalistes (surtout le lit)
Pros:

Le personnel est plutot très accueillant et très serviable. L'hotel est très bien placé près de la gare

Cons:

le Lit est vendu pour 2 personnes mais il devait faire à peine 120/140cm, pas de quoi bouger sans déranger l'autre...
La chambre est très petite, la douche ultra petite...
Le petit déjeuner est minimaliste...(pas de choix dans les toast blanc pas brown, tout et au moins cher) il y a peu de places dans ce sous sol.

Relación calidad precio perfecta
Pros:

La ubicación, el trato de los trabajadores y la limpieza

Cons:

Las escaleras. No dispone de ascensor, pero he de decir que tienen en cuenta el estado físico de la persona en la asignación de las habitaciones. A mi madre la colocaron en el primer piso y a nosotros como somos más jóvenes, en el tercer piso.

Pros:

Great location, staff were friendly.

Cons:

A lot smaller than the pictures show, though good value for money. The bathroom is almost non existent, so small and the shower wasn’t great. It was reasonably clean.
