Está bien, pero no tiene buena relación calidad precio.

Cons:

Las habitaciones son muy pequeñas, el
Baño es imposible de usarlo cómodamente porque es un pedazo demasiado pequeño, las ventanas no abren por lo que no hay ventilación natural.

Pros:

De locatie

Cons:

Vooral de service. De ruimte was erg klein. Kon amper keren in de badkamer en sommige lichten werkte niet.

Vervolgens viel de stroom uit. Geen internet en geen licht. Dat kan gebeuren. Dat is overmacht. Maar er wordt vervolgens in 24 uur niets geregeld om voor de gasten te zorgen. Geen korting, er worden geen lampen of kaarsen aangeboden. Ik moest letterlijk douchen in het pikken donker! Mijn kamer had namelijk geen ramen.

Ik heb snachts mensen geholpen omdat ze afhankelijk waren van hun translate app om te kunnen communiceren en hun telefoon bijna leeg was.

Overmacht heb je niet in de hand. Vervolgens de situatie verbeteren of althans proberen heb je wel in de hand.

Bien pour une nuit mais pas plus
Pros:

Petit déjeuner compris avec plusieurs plats au choix

Cons:

3 eme étage sans ascenseur avec escalier étroit avec la valise. Chambre plus petite que je l’imaginais. Tout le personnel de l’accueil ne parle pas anglais, très difficile de se faire comp’resre parfois

Vaatimaton hotelli
Pros:

Sijainti on hyvä. Aamiainen kohtalainen mutta valikoima suppea ja juomana vain joko kuppi mustaa kahvia tai lasi appelsiinimehua.

Cons:

Huone oli todella pieni. Matkalaukku piti avata sängyllä, koska muuta paikkaa ei ollut. Kylpyhuone oli niin pieni, että suihkussa löin käteni seinään ja wc-pytyllä piti istua poikittain ja olen 160 cm pitkä 😀
