Amazing location and good hotel

Very nice hotel, location perfect and very friendly staff. All good and clean! When we were there the AC was not working but probably it was only temporary. Highly recommend it!

Saleté récurrente... pas assez d'équipements dans

Un sejour tres decevant. Dès mon arrivée, jai constatée que la chambre n'était pas très propre (il y avait des cheveux dans la salle de bain et sur le lit ainsi que des traces d'eau/savon sur le miroir de la salle de bain). Après 16h de voyage, je n'avais pas assez d'énergie pour aller m'en plaindre. Je me suis dit que le menage serait fait le jour suivant et j'aillais utiliser la pancarte pour demander le changement de drap. À ma plus grande surprise, le changement de drap n'avait pas été fait, la salle de bain n'était pas nettoyée et il y avait des cheveux partout. Pas de chance pour l'équipe, j'ai de longs cheveux bruns et même si je fais l'effort de les ramasser , il m'arrive d'en manquer. Encore une fois, j'ai laissé unr chance à l'équipe. Mon drap avait une tache de café donc jallais vite remarquer si le changement avait été fait. Pour la deuxième fois ça n'a pas été fait et je suis allée me plaindre. J'ai expliquée la situation et une personne de l'équipe de ménage est venue rapidement "nettoyer" la salle de bain. Quand jai demandé le changement de draps, elle a soupiré comme si je la dérangeais... heureusement qu'une autre personne est venue pour faire un ménage plus approfondie. Malheureusement, le drap n'avait pas été changé, uniquement la housse de couette... le ménage était mieux fait par la suite mais j'ai souvent trouvé la vasque sale. On a peut etre pas les mêmes criteres de propreté. Autre point negatif, la laverie est payante et il ny a que 2 ceintres.

Ubicación excelente

El hotel en general está muy bien. La ubicación está fenomenal. El personal muy amable. Las habitaciones pequeñas. Cogimos una habitación de tres camas y no tenía armario. Solo 3 perchas. Se echa de menos un restaurante o Lounge bar por la noche en el hotel.
