It was very clean and the staff were friendly.
The one problem was that we were charged 41 euros for breakfast and we only had a coffee and a croissant - that is far too expensive. That slightly spoiled the otherwise positive experience.

Un hôtel qui mérite ses 4 étoiles. Le service est impeccable
Seul bémol, le hammam dont la porte est cassée.
Une mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner qui est qualitatif
