Vaut mieux payer un peu plus dans un autre hôtel
Pros:

The diversity of the breakfast

Cons:

Les matelas et oreillers sont extrêmement moue, j’ai très mal dormi. La température de la chambre est trop chaude. Qui plus est nous avons payé une chambre avec vue, quelle erreur nous avons entendu le moteur d’un bateau toute la nuit, le matin les cloches pour le départs, le bruit dans la rue .. nous étions au 4e étages.
Pour le café à disposition il n’y a à rien pour touiller le sucre…
Les vues restaurant/ chambres sont loin d’être exceptionnelles ..
également le chef de réception je présume à l’accueil était peu aimable.

Pros:

Staff is great, location great. Comfortable.

Cons:

Needs some renovation. Needs new mattresses and pillows and also some better cleaning. Hairs on towels and all over the bathroom is not acceptable. Especially at that price range.
