Une vraie trouvaille.

Hôtel piscine près d'une rocade et d'un mc Donald's. Bon on a envie de fuir qd on lit ça mais ce serait une erreur. L'hôtel présente bien il est a taille humaine comme le personnel. Il est bien tenu. Le petit déjeuner est bon et pas cher. Le quartier s'agite un peu en journée en terme de circulation mais ça se dissipe vite. La propreté règne. Le bar est disponible en journée. La piscine est bien dimensionnée pour cet hôtel les chambres de bonne taille comme la sdb. Belle terrasse extérieure pour boire un verre ou se poser. Le parking est bien dimensionné aussi. Rien a dire.pour une semaine c'est parfait. Les transports en commun ne sont pas loin.

Bon rapport qualité prix mais à entretenir

Alors que l'hôtel est non fumeur la première chambre qui nous avait été attribuée sentait particulièrement fort la cigarette. Nous avons été orientés vers une autre chambre sans odeur. Le rapport service prix est très bien même si j'ai moyennement apprécié voir un prix 30% moins cher juste avant d'arriver. La piscine nécessiterait d'être mieux entretenue comme le reste les dalles ne sont pas fixés et aucune indication sur la dernière marche de l'escalier qui est trop haute et qui provoque des plongeons non désirés. L'indication de la piscine nous oriente vers une porte d'accès fermée. Il faut utiliser la porte qui se trouve devant l'accueil (pas très logique) Piscine au Chlore Je pense que d'un point de vue éco-responsabilité il y a du progrès à faire vis à vis des climatisations qui fonctionnaient à fond alors que les chambres n'étaient pas utilisées. J'ai interrogé la direction qui m'a expliqué le problème technique mais peut être cela devrait être un point à travailler en urgence au regard du coût de l'énergie et de la protection de notre planète. Il me semble qu'un petit investissement serait nécessaire sur les meubles et la moquette. Notre chambre était propre et refaite durant notre séjour de 2 nuits. Les petits déjeuner pourraient être améliorés avec des viennoiseries moins sèches. Enfin, le personnel est très à l'écoute et disponible c'est très agréable. La terrasse est aussi très confortable car bien ombragée. Clientèle respectueuse.

Peccato che pur essendo stato 2 notti non ho potuto conoscerlo meglio in quanto la prima notte il mio aereo è arrivato in ritardo quindi sono arrivato in hotel all''1 di notte quando era tutto chiuso. Ho chiamato il n° di cell. e sono venuti subito ad aprirmi. Colazione senza lode e senza infamia. La sera non ho potuto provare il loro ristorante in quanto fermo per turno di riposo ma ho scoperto un altro ristorante in zona favoloso. Ottima la posizione vicino all'aeroporto

Never again. Bed bugs.

Arrived lare. So although asked for a queen bed, since I was late only one room left with single beds. Hotel is simple and consider it not business. However once in bed I felt itching at my feet. When opening the sheets completely small black bugs were shown. I tried to remove them but realised I should have gone back to the receptionist. It was late and had to sleep for an important meeting. Took pictures.
