Très bien
Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la découverte de votre hôtel, qui se trouve idéalement situé à proximité de tous les sites et musées que nous souhaitions visiter durant le reste de notre séjour.

Le staff était super, la propreté impeccable, et le petit mot laissé par Martine, si je me rappelle bien, désolée si ce n’est pas le bon prénom, nous a beaucoup touchées.

Ma meilleure amie et moi avons été soulagées et agréablement surprises de loger chez vous.

Nous avons rencontré quelques petits soucis avec la laundry, mais rien de très impactant puisque vous disposez de 3 étages équipés de sèche-linges et de machines à laver.

Donc merci beaucoup pour votre accueil !
