Service was good since the people

Service was good since the people working there were very kind and friendly. We specially appreciate the help we got to locate and recieve our missing bag from the flight... The hot buffet brekfast was good: a few but good choices on the buffet. Definitely more than coffee and criossant: egg (bolied or fried), sausage (hot), ham (cold and hot), cheeses, breads, tea, juices, yoghurts, fruit (can), nutella.

Kokolattiamatot ja ilmastointi

Seurueeseen kuului allegikkoja joten hyvä olisi ollut etukäteen tietää että huoneessa oli kokolattiamatto.Tämä vähän aiheutti ongelmia.Ilmastointinnin kautta ei saatu muuta kuin lämmintäilmaa joten yöt nukuttiin ikkuna auki.Muuten hotelli oli hyvä ja sijainti mitä parhain.

Excellente localisation

Personnel de la réception super sympa et attentionné. Perla nous a indiqué un très bon resto pour les fruits de mer à proximité. Une seule réserve: l'appartement du 4ème sous les toits que nous avons eu doit être chaud en été, même avec la climatisation.

Hyvin ranskalainen

Vaikea löytää, koska taksit eivät voi ajaa hotellin eteen (Kävelykatu) ja talot ovat huonosti numeroituja. Mutta kun löysi perille niin asiat olivat hyvin ja henkilökunta poikkeuksellisen ystävällistä ja auttavaista.

Hyvä sijainti

Ostosmahdollisuudet ovat lähellä hotellia ja jos ei jotain löytynyt pienen kävelymatkan päästä, niin ratikkapysäkit ja rautatieasema ovat aivan "nurkan" takana. Junalla pääsee nopeasti ja helposti lähialueelle (mm. Monaco, Cannes ja Italia). Aamiaishuone on kiva, pieni ja viihtyisä tila. Aamiainen on riittävä, ainoastaan jotain "vihreää" jäi kaipaamaan lautaselta. Henkilökunta koko hotellissa on erittäin ystävällistä. Huoneen lämmitys-/ilmastointilaite oli pieni mysteeri, koska välillä huoneessa oli tukahduttavan kuuma.
