Le seul point positif : le personnel est gentil et encore sauf le manager qui a refuse l acces à ma chambre à ma soeur soit disant pour des raisons de sécurité ( elle etait deja montée dans ma chambre sans souci lorsque c etait une autre personne qui était a l accueil et ca n a pose aucun souci !!!)

God service

Personalet og placeringen af hotellet var perfekt. Sengene var knap så gode at sove på og tæpperne var ufatteligt beskidte, hvilket også gjorde værelserne værre. Der kunne godt blive gjort lidt mere ud af rengøringen, især på toiletterne, da jeg tit kom tilbage til et knap så rent toilet.

A déconseillé surtout pas croire les photos car c pas du tout la même chose les chambres sont trop petites et la douche en miniature le matelas inconfortable et en plus on prend pas on considération les demandes spécial du client j’ai demandé à avoir une chambre avec lit jumeaux et une autre lit double a l’arrivée ils me donnent deux chambres avec lit double et en plus des chambres économiques au lieu de chambre de luxe comme c mentionner sur la réservation bref l’hôtel ne mérite min pas une étoile de vous déconseille c a fuire
