No air conditioning
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff.

Cons:

The room was south facing overlooking the bus station and was incredibly hot. When we asked why the air conditioning wasn't working, we were told that it's only turned on in the summer and that we should open a window (which didn't help as the outside air was hot).
I've since read other reviews which say the same, this is obviously a problem the hotel needs to sort out.
I can't recommend this hotel because of this, which is a shame because in all other aspects it's very good.

1st class. Highly recommended
Pros:

Central location. The lady on reception was 1st class in every way. Breakfast was good. The receptionist on duty on Sunday 17th of May is an asset.

Pros:

Emplacement proche de la gare et des bus et dans el centre. Joli décoration. Petit déjeuner avec du choix.

Cons:

L’odeur dans la salle de bain et par conséquent dans la chambre. Une odeur de canalisation, wc bouché, horrible ! Je l’ai lu dans les commentaires, je pensais que cela n’étais pas de chance… mais si… il y a un problème de siphon ou de je ne sais quoi dans cet endroit
