un hôtel parfait pour un séjour au calme.
Pros:

le petit déjeuner et la chambre.

Cons:

Booking n'a pas respecté les 20% de rabais promis en client premium. Mais cela n'a rien à voir avec Rive sud.

A great location not in the busy town center, but very close. We’d stay here again at the drop of a hat.
Pros:

We experienced a very large comfortable room for our four nights. Excellent modern bathroom and facilities. Loved the courtyard which created its own atmosphere.

Cons:

No discreet lounge area. Bit of a faff for parking and offloading, although their secure offsite solution was secure.

Deux très bonnes nuits au Rive Sud
Pros:

Très bon accueil ( au téléphone et sur place) , buffet du petit-déjeuner varié et de qualité.
Odeur très agréable dans le hall ,petit jardin -terrasse accueillant.
Parking pratique (situé à une centaine de mètres, non-couvert mais facile d'accès et pour le stationnement)

Cons:

L'escalier est un peu sombre malgré l"eclairage et, on a regretté l'absence de snacking sur place (contrairement aux indications du site).
Le digicode de la porte d'entrée mériterait une rénovation : tous les chiffres ne sont pas lisibles (
on les devine..).

Pros:

Cudowne, przytulne i przyjazne rowerzystom miejsce. Pyszne śniadania i miła obsługa. Jedyny mankament to brak klimatyzacji ale akurat w czasie naszego pobytu nie była potrzebna.

Comfortable and very clean hotel with beautiful courtyard
Pros:

The hotel is situated across the river from the downtown area and I found it to be very quiet. It is not actually on the river and there’s not a lot of stores adjacent to the hotel so you have to walk across the river into the downtown for everything
The hotel itself was extremely clean with a beautiful courtyard

Cons:

I’m very fit and active so I didn’t mind the stairs but being on the third floor with narrow, steep stairs would be difficulty with many people and their luggage
The rooms did not have AC!! My fault for not considering thar ac would be needed when booking but please be aware that it is extremely hot and too uncomfortable to be in the room during the day in early evening
