Bien sauf pour le parking

L'hôtel est bien situé, en plein cœur de la ville. Le prix est honnête. On voit que c'est un vieil hôtel mais ça va . Cependant il n'y a pas d'ascenseur, et si on prend une place au parking, il faut être parti à 11h ! Plutôt embêtant quand on veut visiter la ville...

Arrived Sunday afternoon, all lights in reception were off and felt very unwelcoming. No heating in room was very cold. Was told would turn thermostat up but made no difference. Radiators cool, room cold. Unpleasant damp smell in bathroom.

Séjour cadeau perso d'anniversaire.

Séjournant une nuit à l'hôtel, j'ai été très agréablement satisfaite de cet hôtel, que ce soit la tenue impeccable des locaux, la propreté parfaite des chambres et couloirs, la décoration bien choisie et du personnel très accueillant et humain. Je recommande vivement ! Et je reviendrai avec plaisir dans cet endroit charmant.

The hotel was clean and quite comfortable. However, the bathroom had poor ventilation and insufficient coffee was provided. The air conditioning unit had no remote control. In its favour the hotel was in an excellent location and very central.
