hotel super bien placé avec tout le nécessaire
Pros:

L'hôtel est très bien situé, le personnel est très gentil et aidant. Pour un Ibis c'est très bien. La chambre était confortable et le ménage a été fait quasiment tous les jours (3sur 4). Parfait pour un court un court séjour ou on passe tout son temps dehors.

Cons:

La qualité du petit déjeuner n'est pas excellente. Cela dit, il y a beaucoup de choix donc ça va.
La seule chose qui m'a un peu dérangé durant le séjour est qu'on ne peut pas ouvrir la fenêtre et donc on ne peut pas aérer la chambre.

Nice and clean and lovely staff

There was a pub/club nearby with really loud music that didn't go off until nearly 3am. You could hear it in the room and even the hallway
