Pros:

Le séjour a été fait en fin janvier 2026
L’emplacement de l’hôtel est en plein centre de la ville, 2 min pour voir le jet d’eau.
Le personnel est gentil.
La chambre était propre.

Cons:

L’alcool
Il y a un dépôt de 100 frs en plus sur le montant de la réservation et qui est restitué à la fin du séjour.
J’ai trouvé radin que les capsules de café et de thé soient facturées 1,50 fr l’unité.
Les oreillers était un peu dur et le lit aussi, la première nuit ça été mais la deuxième j’ai eu des difficultés à m’endormir.

Hotel is good and with suggested improvements it will be even better.
Pros:

The location is fantastic.

Cons:

For this price, cleaning of the room shouldn't be on request. After every cleaning, the coffee capsules should be added, which wasn't the case in our room.
