Super séjour à refaire dans le même hôtel.
Pros:

Magnifique emplacement au calme et près du centre-ville.

Wir haben richtig gewählt.
Pros:

Die Lage ist ideal für mehrere Tage in der Stadt. Goldwert ist die Nähe zum Parkhaus. Während des Aufenthaltes ist die sehr gute Anbindung an Bus und TRAM, die ja gratis sind, toll.

Cons:
