Construction going on, don’t stay here.
Pros:

They have one small washer dryer for the hotel that is free.

Cons:

When we checked in, there was really loud construction noise. (See pics) We almost left but we were told it was only from 8-5. This alone should make you not want to book this hotel. The price of 290 euros for a room so small that you had to shuffle to get around the bed is not a good value. The internet kept disconnecting and was so bad the Netflix on the tv or on my laptop didn’t work. There was no lotion or conditioner. The complementary water. bottle was empty. There was no refrigerator in the room. The pillows are very flat. The gym very basic so I had to pay 50 francs to go to a gym. The ac turns off at night so it gets hot. They allow smoking in the small seating area right outside the hotel.
