Pros:

Personnel très sympa, hôtel très bien placé !

Cons:

Chambre dans un bungalow séparée du parking voiture avec une palissade en bois très proche du bungalow environ 80cm, soit aucune vue et bungalow mal isolé car bien trop chaud malgré le ventilo. Au centre ville rdc, ouvert à tous, aucune sécurité.... Chambre pour P.M.R (toilettes) ? Sauf que baignoire, donc douche pas accessible à une personne à mobilité réduite....

Great alternative to the chain hotels.
Pros:

We need a big bed as we are big people. We had a really good night's sleep - this is a little unusual! We had a mini-suite, and it was very comfortable, quiet and clean.
We also needed parking, and the hotel provides excellent facilities.

Cons:

2nd floor and no lift - fine with an overnight bag, but for a longer stay, it could have been a challenge!

Convenient if nothing special
Pros:

Location, parking

Cons:

Bit shabby, dodgy lock to access bedroom annexe. Breakfast room difficult to navigate around poorly arranged tables. Food nothing special either, and not refreshed so had to wait for eggs etc. Coffee nothing special either.
