Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Das Hotel ist schrecklich.unhygienisch und ekelhaft.Die Zimmern sind dreckig die bettbezüge waren gelb.Die Toilette war kaputt und die der Klodeckel lag auf dem Boden und die Dusche hatte kein Glas.Die Mitarbeiter sind ebenso unhöflich und gucken nicht mal dir ins Gesicht. Frühstück ist richtig getrocknet und es ist in einem Teller mit folie gepackt also es gibt kein offenes Büfe.+Im Hotelzimmer ist es so stickig und bekommt keine Luft.Das Hotel würde ich niemals empfehlen. Kommt niemals hier hin!

Dirty hotel.

When I booked they claimed to have a gym and a washing machine for use. When we arrived we got told that they do not have a gym and no washing machine. The rooma were extremely dirty and nothing like the pictures. The shower handle holder was also broken.

Avoid if possible

Cheap as it gets. Don't expect much in terms of room size for a double. Bathroom door swings open unless you lock it with a key. Water leaking out of the faucet base. We stayed one night and we find out they charged us for 3. Also walls are paper thin, felt like people were walking into our room all night.

La chambre convenait parfaitement vu que nous n'étions a l'hôtel uniquement le soir. Par contre, la salle d'eaux catastrophique. Pas de paroi pour douche donc tout est mouillé, on se demande si le ménage est fait vu l'était de la robinetterie et du reste.... Nous avions pris avec le petit déjeuner et nous avions toujours la même chose pendant tous le séjours...
