Pros:

I had a terrible experience at Leon Hotel, which ruined the start of my vacation. I arrived on Monday and initially got a beautiful room, but there was excessive noise from construction work. I asked to change rooms, which they did, but the new room was dirty and had a strong smell like it hadn't been cleaned. I asked to change again, and they gave me a room with a beautiful view.

However, issues continued:
• WiFi was off in the room.
• On the second day, there was no water for showering. I spoke to the manager, who promised to fix the issue, but initially, I had to go out without showering or brushing my teeth.
• I paid for a 3-day stay, but honestly, it was the worst experience ever. It ruined my holiday.
• Because of this, I booked another hotel in the city. The reception and staff at Leon Hotel were nice and welcoming, but they didn't seem to have the power to make things better due to system

Pros:

Le Good. Ne manquez surtout pas le petit-déjeuner « offert » par Léon, servi au premier étage. Je mets offert entre guillemets, car ce festin matinal inflige une douleur réelle à votre portefeuille pour votre conjoint.e. Si vous êtes futé, vous pouvez tenter de négocier le tarif avec la direction. L’assortiment de plats étalés sur plusieurs comptoirs est absolument fabuleux. Le Bad. Comme toujours, c’est ici que les choses se gâtent. Premièrement, l’Internet est une blague. Mieux vaut venir avec son propre modem, car vous pourriez très bien passer la journée sans capter une once de wifi. Deuxièmement : évitez les chambres avec moquette. La moquette de Léon Hôtel, que ce soit dans les couloirs ou dans les chambres, semble dater de Mathusalem – ou plus exactement du temps des colons. J’exagère (à peine), mais choisissez de préférence une chambre carrelée. Le Ugly. Attachez votre ceinture. On entre dans le dur. Les serviettes de Léon Hôtel sont aussi propres que… votre imagination le permet. On dirait qu’elles sont lavées dans les caniveaux du boulevard, puis ramenées à l’hôtel en pousse-pousse. Je regardais par la fenêtre, voyais passer ces pousse-pousses, et je me disais : « Tiens, voilà nos serviettes qui reviennent ! » Mais parfois, les pousse-pousses reviennent vides. Et là, pas de serviettes. Léon Hôtel a de bons côtés, c’est indéniable. Mais préparez-vous à une expérience contrastée : entre petit-déjeuner princier et serviettes souillées.
