Pros:

Hotel classique, rien de spécial.

Cons:

Je suis resté enfermé à l’extérieur de l’hôtel pendant 20 minutes, à 2 heures du matin, car le réceptionniste n’était pas à son poste. La situation est d’autant plus problématique qu’aucun badge ni code d’accès n’est fourni aux clients, au motif qu’un réceptionniste est censé être présent.

C’est finalement un autre client qui a réussi à ouvrir la porte coulissante de force. Sans son intervention, nous aurions probablement pu rester bloqué dehors bien plus longtemps.

Le lendemain, lorsque j’ai signalé le problème, mes remarques ont immédiatement été minimisées, sans la moindre remise en question. Une gestion très décevante de la situation.

Rue Forbin
Pros:

Posizione buona, molto vicina alla metro e ai tram. Si può raggiungere a piedi con una discreta passeggiata, la Chappelle de la Charite e il quartiere De le Panier.

Cons:

Bagno non molto pulito, water e lavabo poco funzionanti. Bisognava riempire il secchio e versare l' acqua manualmente , per accertarsi un buon riciclo di acqua pulita. Niente asciugacapelli, niente sacchetti per i rifiuti, abbiamo dovuto comprarli.
