環境整潔舒適，唯感應式浴廁燈令人困擾
Pros:

前台很熱情友善，早餐雖然只有我一個人吃但依然很熱情的提供各種選項。衛生打掃的都還蠻乾淨的。

Cons:

浴室廁所的燈是感應式的，明明還有人在裡面上廁所會洗澡燈會自動熄滅，令人有點困擾。頂樓廚房可能較少人使用，剛進去的時候油耗味有點重

Expérience intéressante et valant son prix.
Pros:

L’originalité du lieu,l’utilisation habile d’anciens lieux pour en faire un hôtel,le bon petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Il y a un courant d’air froid sous la fenêtre. Le chauffage à la tête du lit est trop fort.
