There was no one in the office in the morning, no breakfast, or anything else. it was all shut. You could not access the big pool. No food at all. I went to a cafe over the road for coffee and cake. However, there was air conditioning, essential as the temp reached 40 degrees. The room itself was adequate, with a small bathroom. It is remote, and is really suitable for someone with own transport.

The bed was super uncomfortable, as it was soft in the misdle, and the room smelles of old cigaret smoke which was very annoying, the shower was pretty crappy too, but as it was very cheap, what can you expect.

The place cannot be deemed an hotel, talk less of a 3stars one. It is a Motel, they have no restaurant facility, just the space available. The rooms are very small and the bathroom is a tiny bunker. We were there for a week and they NEVER cleaned the room, not even when specifically requested. The receptionist is genuinely helpful, but there is very little under his control.

Correct

Correct, à la hauteur du prix de la nuit. Gérant sympathique. Petit bémol : personnel de chambre inexistant, nous sommes restées 3 nuits, le lit na pas été fait durant le séjour, d'après une femme de chambre croisée la veille du départ, il fallait le stipuler à l'arrivée..?.. Je lui ai demandé un rouleau de papiers toilettes, elle nest jamais revenu vers moi... le soir la réception etait déjà fermée vers 21h donc nous avons dû nous en passer..

Scandaleux

Chambre pas propre avec une coupure d’électricité tout l’après-midi du samedi, Personne à l’accueil. En plus j’ai payé 180€ pour 2 nuits alors qu’un ami avait la même chambre que moi et à payé 70€ pour les 2 nuits. C’est scandaleux. Je souhaiterai savoir comment il est posé d’obtenir une remise sur mon séjour ? Merci

Surtout pas 3 étoiles

Moyen, pas de poubelle dans la chambre, très minimaliste, propreté pour la literie et sanitaire. Moquette sale, hôtel qui serait à rénover. Essayer de demander une chambre à l'étage pour éviter d'entendre les pas des voisins du dessus à n'importe quelle heure

à peu près pareil qu'un première classe

Cela fait longtemps que cet hôtel n'est plus un 3 étoiles. Plus de piscine, pas de poubelle dans la chambre, pas de balayette pour les WC, pas de table de chevet ni de meuble pouvant en faire office, pas de gobelet pour se brosser les dents. Pas de possibilité de petit-déjeuner (pas assez de personne). Literie et serviette propres, c'est déjà pas mal, pas de poussière non plus.

Décevant

Vraiment déçu le nom de l’hôtel California qu’on a réserver par Hôtels.com n’était pas marqué à ce nom c’était un autre nom heureusement qu’on avait le numéro précis , à l’accueil à notre arrivée à 22 h30 on demande le petit déjeuner pour 7 h30 nous a répondu ouverture vers 11 h donc vraiment pas sérieux. Dans notre chambre pas de poubelle ma femme a descendu les papiers au rez-de-chaussée à l’extérieur, pas une table ou chaises obligé poser vêtements parterre sur moquette limite propreté pourtant nous ne sommes pas des personnes difficiles

Une chambre à la forte odeur de moisi. Une moquette infâme. Une cabine de douche wc : on sort de la douche les pieds encore mouillés dans la chambre, directement sur la moquette. Le lavabo est dans la chambre. Pas de poubelle. Pas de chevet. Une seule prise de courant. Pas de service. Bref, on deconseille.

UNE GROSSE ARNAQUE

C'est parti pour l'Hotel California.. ah bah, à l'arrivée on voit un panneau Fast Hôtel qui surplombe l'hôtel.. puis sur le portail.. GHM New Airport 🤔🤔 en bref on sait pas trop où on est.. Notre réservation est trouvée a l'accueil.. ca bien doit être là.. Il nous est précisé qu'il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner.. comme proposé sur le site.. ok Passons ensuite à la découverte de la chambre, qui etait annoncée 3 etoiles, grand luxe, art déco... si on fait abstraction de la saletés, de la moquette poussiéreuse, du moisie de la salle de bain.. bah il ne reste pas grand chose.. a part un lit pas très confortable et des oreillers dépourvus d'épaisseur. Pas une table, pas un tabourets ni de table de chevet. Ah si j'oublie! Une belle télé! Au moins ca! Bon.. ni netflix, ni prime ne se connectent.. mais on va pas trop faire les difficiles hein! Pour le départ, comme indique à l'accueil, on laisse la clef dans la chambre et on claque la porte... sûrement pour éviter d'avoir à demander si le séjour s'est bien passé...
Une chambre parfaitement décorée art déco.
Chouette! On peut se laver les pieds en étant sur le trône!
Une entrée accueillante.
Oh les beaux champignons en haut de la porte de douche..
