Schönes edles Hotel in herrschaftlichem Haus, aber erneuerungsbedürftig!
Pros:

Sehr gute Lange bei der Kathedrale und direkt mit Meeressicht, schönes altes herrschaftliches Haus, grosse schöne Zimmer.

Cons:

Das Hotel hätte dringend eine umfassende Renovation nötig. Unser Zimmer war im Soussol mit direktem Zugang zum Park. Leider roch alles muffig und feucht.

Très agréablement surpris
Pros:

Position géographique idéale, en plein coeur de Douarnenez, établissement de qualité, mobilier d'époque et décoration à l'ancienne qui invite l'hébergé à visiter la totalité du batiment et pique sa curiosité.

Décevant
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse avec un windows, très agréable
Calme par rapport à l'emplacement de l'hôtel !!!!
Le panorama est magnifique
Le clos est sublime, mais un peu à l'abandon
Accès et parking très bien

Cons:

La piscine qui est fermé, or dans le descriptif il y avait accès à la piscine
La tétévision ne fonctionnait pas correctement, des coupures pour pas de signal
On entendait tous ce qui se passait dans les chambres voisines, toutes les canalisations (robinets, douches et wc ...)

Un lugar con gran potencial, pendiente de mejora
Pros:

El hotel es precioso, con un edificio y entorno que transmiten mucho encanto y que seguramente en su momento fueron espectaculares. Sin embargo, da la sensación de que le falta algo de mantenimiento y cuidados para volver a brillar como merece. Es una pena, porque se nota el potencial que tiene y lo agradable que podría llegar a ser con un poco más de atención.

Cons:

En la descripción se indicaba que había piscina exterior, pero cuando llegamos nos encontramos con que no estaba disponible. Fue una pequeña decepción, ya que era uno de los motivos por los que habíamos elegido el hotel.

Mauvais choix pour nos vacances
Pros:

Le parking

Cons:

Il faut arrêter de vendre du rêve aux clients
Spa piscine et restaurant inaccessible et cela depuis plusieurs mois en consultant les divers avis
L aspect générale l'établissement vieillot que ce soit couloirs ou chambre il y a un énorme travail de rafraîchissement a envisager
Linge et literie tout est a changer
Petit déjeuner moyen
Bref pour un séjour qui ce voulait être romantique dans un cadre de rêve c'est dommage ...
