Pros:

Calme propre
Sans chichi mais efficace

La literie était bien

Globalement satisfaite car l’emplacement proche de la gare était idéal pour prendre un train très tôt le matin.

Cons:

oreillers très moyens
Il faisait chaud dans la chambre ne favorisant pas un sommeil réparateur.

Cons:

Je vous écris pour vous faire part de mon insatisfaction suite à mon séjour dans votre établissement

Tout d'abord, je tiens à souligner que le prix payé ne correspond absolument pas à la qualité de la chambre qui m'a été attribuée. Les prestations et l'état général de la chambre étaient nettement inférieurs à mes attentes et ne justifient en rien le tarif élevé facturé.
De plus, j'ai eu la désagréable surprise de devoir m'acquitter de frais de taxe de séjour directement sur place, alors que le montant total de mon séjour, incluant toutes les taxes, avait déjà été réglé au moment de la réservation sur la plateforme Booking.com. Cette double facturation est anormale et inacceptable.
Compte tenu de ces désagréments, je vous demande de bien vouloir examiner cette situation et de procéder à un geste commercial ou au remboursement des frais de taxe indûment perçus.
Dans l'attente de votre retour rapide, je vous prie d'agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de mes salutations distinguées.

Pros:

Værelset var fint og størrelsen også helt ok. Jeg overnattede 2 nætter. Jeg synes beliggenheden er helt i top. Tæt på det hele. 3 min. gang fra hovedbanegården. Lidt larm ude på gaden, men ellers ingen problemer.
