Abbiamo dovuto disdire il soggiorno la camera era sporca e fredda. Con un anta della doccia rotta. Ci dispiace, ma ha bisogno di essere più curato

Pros:

Pour ce qui est des chambres, un bon rafraîchissement est à étudier très rapidement ainsi que pour l'équipement.
Pour le dîner et petit déjeuner, rien à dire, tout était impeccable. Parking public en face de l'établissement donc très appréciable.

Cons:

Vétusté des chambres, de la plomberie de la salle de bains.

The central location

The walls were a little thin, so you can hear your neighbours, but wasn't too much of a problem

Bowers Bar & Restaurant
Pros:

I liked the location and that there was breakfast included. It was clean and the single bed was comfortable.

Cons:

I think it was overpriced at €130 for one night (Sunday) for a basic twin room, although it did include breakfast. The light through the window was bright first thing. There was some noise/music from outside in the morning.
For the question below, I didn't have any expectations.
