Emplacement exceptionnel. Literie parfaite. Bel établissement. Choix parfait.
Pros:

Literie excellente. Matelas et oreillers parfaits. Lit très grand. Chambre agréable, plateau de courtoisie, eau plate chaque jour, douche et baignoire. Très pratique. Piscine agréable. Emplacement exceptionnel. En face du Vieux Port, à deux pas de la Gare SNCF.

Cons:

Étant un hotel label Clef verte, le nettoyage quotidien de la chambre (recouche) n'est pas automatique. Il faut le demander. Les serviettes mouillées n'ont pas toujours été changées.

Pros:

room & location excellent

Cons:

2 twin beds with no room between them was uncomfortable. If there was space between them, it would have been fine. I would have much preferred a shower rather than showering in the bath.
