Pros:

The drain in my shower didn’t work and the water flooded the bathroom floor. I had to stop the shower after a few seconds and then wash an arm and a meg at a time. It was frustrating. I think the hotel should discount my stay.

Bel espace et chambre agréable au niveau couleurs (juste le plafonnier est d’une lumière trop blanche donc peu cosy), grand lit, parking devant, impec car resto juste à côté et partenaire donc remise sur l’addition.

Pros:

The hotel is fine for people on low budget bus tours, who are happy with mediocre breakfasts, but it lacks any local culture and is located in a boring part of town, but staff were friendly and there was nothing horrible about the place.

Pros:

Chambre 308 salle, meuble abîmés, présence de poil et cheveux dans la salle de bain, sur le mobilier de la chambre.
WC mal nettoyés aussi.

Lit confortable et propre.

Petit déjeuner à 12 euros qui est vraiment décevant, et ne met pas en appétit.

Bom para curta estadia
Pros:

A estadia ocorreu tudo bem. O quarto é bem grande mesmo, e esse foi o ponto alto. Tivemos espaço suficiente para nossas malas e tudo. O café da manhã é bem simples, sem muita opção, mas bom. O hotel aparenta ser um pouco antigo também.
