Super cosy, très accueillant (mais pourquoi ces crucifix partout ?).
Pros:

Belle découverte, personnel charmant, parfait bilingue. Cadre cosy, très soigné, parfumé et attention pour les nouveaux clients. Chambres tout confort. Super propre partout.

Cons:

Un regret néanmoins : pourquoi des CRUCIFIX dans TOUTES LES PIÈCES ? Y compris toutes les chambres, la salle pdj, le local de jeux pour enfants, le lounge !
