God oplevelse

Vi (2 voksne og 2 teenagere) havde 1 overnatning i hotellets familieværelse for andet år i træk og alt var super. Værelset var rent, rummeligt og med en fantasktisk altan med byudsigt. Hotellet ligger i gåafstand til centrum ca. 10 minutter og der ligger et fint supermarked lige nede af gaden. Morgenmaden var super fin til prisen og man kan tilkøbe parkering i parkeringshus i samme bygning. Eneste minus er at ingen kan snakke engelsk, men sådan er det desværre mange steder i Frankrig. Alt i alt en god oplevelse og hotellet kan anbefales.

Séjour professionnel

Hotel bien. Horaires de la réception limités. J’ai souhaité réserver un autre sejour, à la suite de celui-ci : le tarif avait augmenté de plus de 40% "c’est la loi de l’offre et la demande" m’a-t-on répondu ! Pas très correct.
