Place is in a sorry condition, as soon as you hit the stairs you notice a weird stench, the building is old, I can hear the neighbors every time they walk around or flush the toilet. Not sure what was happening during my stay but there were doors being slammed repeatedly all afternoon. However, the place is equipped to accommodate cyclists and their bikes in the form of a dedicated secure storage space. For the price I would have expected the room to be better equipped and the place to be better maintained

TrÚs déçu

SĂ©jour prĂ©vue sur 5 jours non consĂ©cutifs, j’ai annulĂ© 4 jours car beaucoup trop de toile d’araignĂ©e dans la chambre. Une odeur dans les sanitaires et salle de douche qui est persistante et trĂšs dĂ©sagrĂ©able. Le soin apportĂ© a la chambre n’est digne d’un hĂŽtel Ă  3 Ă©toiles .

Soirée étape, tout confort.

Hotel logis de France, d'epoque, avec du style, et du charme. Accueil chaleureux. Chambre spatieuse, avec literie de qualité, et parure de lits classieux. La salle de bain, suffisamment, grande, est fonctionnelle, et de bon goût. Pas de problÚme de bruit. Avons passé une nuit agréable, et sans problÚme. La.seule chose a signaler, est qu'il n'y a pas de parking a l'hotel, mais possibilité, de se garer, 100m, plus loin, devant hÎpital. Je recommande donc cet hotel.

Hotel nicht zu empfehlen

Empfang und Bedienung waren zwar freundlich, aber das Haus verdient eindeutig höchstens 2 Sterne; woher kommen die angegebenen drei? Die Preise sind fĂŒr die Leistung um mindestens 25% zu hoch. (Ein kurz vorher in Dijon benutztes 2-Sterne-Hotel war viel billigerer und wesentlich besser.)

TrĂšs bonne cuisine. TrĂšs bon accueil. Chouettes chambres. Nous avions rĂ©servĂ© une chambre familiale; pour cause de problĂšme technique, celle-ci Ă©tait indisponible. L'hĂŽtel nous a donc spontanĂ©ment offert deux chambres pour le prix de la chambre Ă  4. Normal mais nĂ©anmoins Ă©lĂ©gant. En revanche, la 1Ăšre impression de l'extĂ©rieur donne une impression d'abandon, notamment les grilles rouillĂ©es aux fenĂȘtres du RDC. TB sĂ©jour globalement.
