Wouldn’t return here.
Pros:

Good city hotel

Cons:

Bedrooms have huge bathrooms making the sleeping area feel cramped. Sliding glass door for bathroom very awkward for person trying to access the wardrobe:-once person slides bathroom glass door open, the person accessing the wardrobe is cut off. Hanging light from the ceiling blocking the already limited space in the bedroom area. We stayed for 1 full week as a family and neither of the 2 rooms had a balcony.

Pros:

Love the lobby. Nice and clean tvs and a nice bar.

Cons:

I think the pool bar could be better stocked ( ran out of aperol!) The food at the pool bar was limited and overpriced (happy to pay if the quality was better)

Conforme aux standards
Pros:

Le prix du stationnement devrait être moins cher si on est client de l'hôtel.
Petit déjeuner conforme aux standards, ainsi que la chambre.
L'accès à la piscine intérieure (quand le temps ne permet pas d'utiliser celle à l'extérieur) devrait être gratuit, ou a minima bien moins cher que les 20€/accès demandés.,

Cons:

Le prix exorbitant pour acceder à la piscine intérieure (qui est trop bien mise en avant par l'hotel lorsque l'on réserve.

Room for improvement.
Pros:

Clean and airy

Cons:

Food not brilliant , laundry at first lost our laundry at first and ended not being ironed but were charged. No shower cap and only 1 bottle of water for 3 nights for 2 people. At this price would have expected 1 bottle per night .

Pros:

En général très satisfais. Un petit bémol pour la propreté des toilettes de la piscine et une carte plus fraîche (eg: salades, crudités) au bar serait agréable.
