Posizione ok, ma camere…
Pros:

La posizione è buona, la zona consente un facile parcheggio, diverse boulangerie nella zona per fare colazione

Cons:

Stanze veramente piccolissime e poco curate, bagni scadenti, in generale basso rapporto qualità/prezzo. Comunque la pulizia è accettabile

Gastgeber und Lage machen die beengten und heißen Zimmerverhältnisse mehr als wett.
Pros:

Überaus freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Trotz zu früher Anreise, das Zimmer vor dem offiziellen Check in bekommen. Gastgeber hat das Gepäck in das Zimmer getragen, da es keinen Lift gibt. Unterkunft sehr zentral gelegen. Zimmer in den Innenhof, daher sehr ruhig. Gastgeber hat von sich aus Tipps für gute Restaurants gegeben. Getränke im Aufenthaltsraum zur freien Entnahme.

Cons:

Zimmer im obersten Stock unter Dach. Sehr klein. Kaum Platz rund ums Bett. Durch hohe Außentemperatur sehr heiß im Zimmer. Keine Klima. Dafür Ventilator vorhanden.

Chaleur, Valeur et bien être
Pros:

Séjour magnifique dans cet établissement où tout a contribué à notre bien-être.

L'accueil chaleureux, la sympathie et la disponibilité des responsables ont rendu notre séjour particulièrement agréable. Le petit-déjeuner, composé de produits frais et de qualité, témoigne d'un véritable savoir-faire et d'une attention portée aux détails.

Nous avons également apprécié la grandeur de la chambre, son calme, sa propreté irréprochable ainsi que son agencement particulièrement confortable.

Tous ces éléments réunis nous ont permis de passer une nuit extraordinaire, placée sous le signe de la détente, du repos et du bien-être.

Un grand merci à toute l'équipe pour son professionnalisme, sa gentillesse et la qualité de son accueil. Une adresse que nous garderons précieusement en mémoire.

Convenient, friendly, nice breakfast and good value.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff and the breakfast was lovely. Some house made items and a nice variety of fresh choices. Location was very convenient and parking was close.

Cons:

The view is the back of a large store which isn't fabulous to look at, and the bed was fairly hard.

Nur zu empfehlen wenn man bei geschlossenen Fenster schläft
Pros:

Zimmer sauber, Betten und Kissen gut. Frühstück basic, etwas teurer für den Preis.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer ganz oben, zur Straße, ohne Lift ist es mit Gepäck beschwerlich. Am Tag ist es ruhig, aber jede Nacht ein unglaublicher Lärm von der Straße, bis weit nach Mitternacht. Autos und Partygänger. Leider auch keine Klimaanlage, dadurch war es sehr warm bei der Hitze.
