I will definitely return
Pros:

Everything was wonderful. Room appeared newly renovated and was spotless. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Perfect location at the town centre. Breakfast was the best continental i ever had .

Cons:

everything was great , only thing that would give it a 10/10 is if they did evening meals in restaurant.

Pros:

L emplacement, le personnel, la proprete, le confort. Le petit dejeuner bien . Chambre spacieuse mais pas du vue pour celle au 1er etage😏 l odeur du cafe le matin dans ma chambre au reveil

Cons:

Le bruit et ce n est pas la faute de l hotel mais aux manque de civisme des clients et c est dommage. Les clientes claquent les portes, parlent fort apres 22h.....il y a meme une cliente qui est rentre dans ma chalbre a 21h...avec se cle elle a force ma serrure. Qd je lui ao ouvert apres 3mn elle s est rendu compte qu elle s etait trompe de chambre mais insiste qd meme avec la porte🤣
Bref mes nuits n ont pas ete paisibles...dur le reveil le matin

Spełnił wszystkie moje oczekiwania.
Pros:

Świetny, bardzo klimatyczny hotelik. Obsługa świetna. Bufet - nic dodać nic ująć.
