Absolultely tiny room - claustrophobic

Friendly reception and breakfast provided for a decent price. However, the room was titchy - barely 20cm on either side of the bed and 50cm at the foot of the bed. The bathroom didnt look particularly clean as i found hair from other people there, and i occasionally smelt wafts of urine. The bottom sheet of the bed just wouldnt stay in place, exposing the matresse underneath.

Clean, newly renovated, and affordable

We’ve got the room for four as it was a family trip. Actually there are 2 rooms. Excellent beds, newly renovated and updated unit. The bathroom is tiny but it does the job. We were very pleased with the condition. Looks better in the inside than outside. Definitely recommend if you are not bothered by the proximity to the highway.

Good hotel but not too quiet

Very good, comfortable and clean hotel but walls are a little thin. Traffic and noise noise from guest rooms make getting a good nights sleep not easy. But for a sound sleeper it should be fine.

HĂŽtel Ă  fuir – Ă  Ă©viter absolument !

Nous sommes arrivĂ©s pour un sĂ©jour d’une nuit. En entrant dans la chambre, nous avons immĂ©diatement constatĂ© la prĂ©sence de plusieurs araignĂ©es et de toiles d’araignĂ©e un peu partout (au plafond, sous le lit, dans la salle de bain). Une odeur insupportable rĂ©gnait dans la chambre, le sol Ă©tait sale et la salle de bain Ă©galement dans un Ă©tat dĂ©plorable. J’ai signalĂ© ces problĂšmes au personnel ainsi qu’au responsable de l’hĂŽtel, mais aucune proposition ne m’a Ă©tĂ© faite. J’ai dĂ» moi-mĂȘme nettoyer pour pouvoir passer une nuit
 horrible. J’ai demandĂ© Ă  changer de chambre, mais ma demande a Ă©tĂ© refusĂ©e. 👉 À Ă©viter absolument, hĂŽtel Ă  fuir !
