Ok pour une nuit. La 2e était de trop.
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner très simple à 4 euros et surtout les cappuccinos.

Cons:

Le manque d'insonorisation dans l'immeuble, on entend les voisins qui chantent à minuit. Pas de bouilloire ou machine à café dans la chambre. 2 oreillers plutôt plats. Pas d'eau chaude ce matin pour la douche.
