Bien placé par rapport au centre ville.
Le petit appartement avec 2 chambres et 1 salon est bien pratique avec une famille

Cons:

Meubles et sanitaires un peu vieillissant. Mais tout de même fonctionnel quand on comprends comment fonctionne le pommeau de douche.

Would recommend this hotel
Pros:

Great location. Spotlessly clean. Gorgeous rooms. Lovely staff. Good food.

Cons:

Coffee was awful in the room. Hairdryer in the bathroom would not move a leaf. Also a plug socket beside a mirror would be great.
