Very good cost/performance ratio
Pros:

Great location, very comfortable beds, rooms well equipped and spacious, nice breakfast

Cons:

Only 2 issues - our suite under the roof had no ventilation or heating in the bathroom. In the hallway between the rooms and the bathroom there was the elevator machine room which was quite noisy whenever the elevator was in use.

Muy buena ubicación y un lindo hotel con un mal servicio de limpieza a las habitaciones
Pros:

Ubicación. Cama muy cómoda

Cons:

Las habitaciones no fueron limpiadas en muchos días.
Proteste y me dijeron que las limpiaban cada 4 días. Proteste de nuevo al día siguiente y me dijeron que las limpiaban solo si alguien lo pedía.
Ambas respuestas fueron inaceptables

Cons:

On avais une baignoire et pas de douche
Le petit déjeuner laisse vraiment à désirer pour un 4 étoile. Œuf brouillé beaucoup trop cuit, pas assez de choix. Des enfants crier personne ne leur a rien dit

Bel établissement, très bien placé et confortable.
Pros:

La vue sur le port est magnifique. La junior suite était confortable. Le personnel est très accueillant. L'hôtel est difficile d'accès en voiture mais on peut disposer d'un parking à 200m.

Cons:

Le port étant très animé, il y a un peu de bruit la nuit, mais pendant notre séjour c'était très supportable.
