Une des 3 ou 4 meilleures adresses d'ATHENES
Pros:

Hotel très bien placé mais au calme; service très professionnel. Il est dommage que la salle de petit déjeuner soit montée au 8e étage (très belle vue mais bruyante). Elle était bien plus mémorable dan le jardin ou la salle du Rdc.

Agréable halte un peu chère pour le niveau
Pros:

L’emplacement, l’accueil chaleureux, la vue,

Cons:

Pourquoi est-ce que nous avons du payer la 2 e nuit plus cher que la première ????
Piscine petite pour un si grand hôtel
Des qu’il y a 10 personnes c’est plein
Le restaurant est vraiment au top pour son emplacement et la magnifique vue mais la qualité de la nourriture laisse à désirer
Cher et pas spécialement bon
Pour une soirée en beauté mais pas en qualité
