Very comfortable stay & amazing stuff
Pros:

The location is amazing, there are lots of bars and restaurants around, also a big market. The rooms itself are small but we didn’t plan to stay inside all day long , just to sleep so it wasn’t an issue. Rooms are clean, bed is okay. I consider it good value for money and would stay again here.

Pros:

Nous avons aimé l'emplacement. Juste à côté de la Halle avec plein de restaurants et de café, bien que beaucoup de monde tard le soir nous n'avons rien entendu de notre chambre

Cons:

On a moins apprécié la salle de bain avec le WC juste à côté du lavabo, très peu de place

Très bon séjour dans cet hôtel super bien placé
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, en plein cœur du quartier des halles très vivant. Personnel adorable et très très serviable ! Chambre tout à fait fonctionnelle et correcte et côté cour, nous n’avons pas eu du tout de bruit et avons très bien dormi !

Cons:

Le seul petit bémol pour les gens grands dans cette chambre était l’emplacement des wc contre le lavabo ! Sinon tout était top !

Pros:

Le charme extérieur de l'établissement
L'ensemble du personnel était disponible et à notre écoute
Les fenêtres ont un fort pouvoir acoustique
La propreté et le lit confortable

Cons:

L'acoustique est nul on entend "tout ce qui se passe" dans les chambres voisines
Prévoir une VMC dans les salles de bains qui règlerait les problèmes d'humidité
Le bruit extérieur mais tout à fait normal car l'hôtel est situé dans une zone ou il y a plusieurs bars
