    Dirty”

    Hotel has a good location and a different architecture. At the other hand the furniture in the rooms was quite dirty. Since we didn’t be sure that the room’s clean, we used wet wipes to wipe off the dust on the furniture. Wipes we used were brown after the cleaning. Even the telefon was incredibly dirty. There were some insects inside the room, even they sprays the room everyday.

    Très bel hôtel avec du caractère : chambre avec bonne literie, très propre, linge changé tous les jours, très belle douche de style oriental avec beau carrelage, meubles zanzibarites. Pulvérisation de bombe antimoustique chaque soir (on en a vu aucun). Petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet (correct mais pas extraordinaire). Bon rapport qualité prix et emplacement central.
