Pros:

Staff members were nice. Self-check in process was very smooth.

Cons:

A bar of soap in the bathroom would be great. A powerful ventilator could be better.

Overall a good experience in Ferney, France
Pros:

Everything was nice when it came to the room and location.

Cons:

Restaurant was closed the entire time we were there but alternatives around the area were available. But the biggest thing is not being able to connect my laptop to the wifi.

Loistava
Pros:

Erittäin mukava pikku hotelli keskeisellä paikalla Ferneyssä. Bussit keskustaan ja lentokentälle 200 m. Erittäin siistiä ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Aamupala Erittäin hyvä. Suosittelen.

Cons:

Ei ilmastointia, mutta hyvin nukuttiin ikkunat auki. Ei ongelmaa.
