Chambre très bien. Personnel d’accueil exceptionnel, Karine (avec un k!) nous a appelés avant notre arrivée, comme nous étions en retard elle nous a très aimablement rassurés, pas de stress… elle nous attend, au top !
Les photos sur le site ne sont pas proche de la réalité.
Chambre microscopique, idem pour la salle de bain et les toilettes.
Pas de stationnement, ou place de parking très loin.
Le coin bien être, très bien.
Le restaurant c’est une cantine en fait!
Le personnel très réactif et sympathique.
En résumé nous sommes déçus en arrivant car c’est loin de ressembler au descriptif vu sur le site.
Ce n’est pas un hôtel mais une résidence vacances!!
Je ne recommande pas.

En arrivant dans la chambre, j'ai dû faire un peu de ménage. Sur le lit, des résidus noirs et de la poussière sur les équipements. J'ai tué environ une quinzaine de mouches avant de réellement m'installer. Le velux ne fermait pas entièrement et la porte d'entrée non plus. Et le petit déjeuner à 13€, une vraie arnaque !

Idéalement situé!
Hôtel idéalement placé malgré que la nuit est soit bruyante côté rue!
Décoration vieillotte bien que l’hôtel soit propre et la literie est confortable.
Personnel accueillant et professionnel
Parking à disposition avec peu de places mais les alentours offrent un large choix de places
Unkomplizierte und schöne Unterkunft mit ausserordentlich hilfsbereitem und freundlichem Personal. Zentrale Lage ist sehr praktisch. Man ist schnell am Strand und in der Stadt. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet.
Bien qu'ayant payé une chambre classique, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans une chambre éco petite, sous les toits, sans clim, avec une odeur d'égout en arrivant .... Salle de bains d'époque, même pas un verre pour boire... Des étoiles complètement usurpées, un petit déjeuner industriel à souhait, à éviter !
