The worst experience ever. Starting with the condition of the room, the hygiene standard, to the disgusting attitude from the staff there. The only person who had a friendly and hospitable attitude was the guy who helped with my bag and room service.

HĂŽtel de l'horreur

FUYEZ CET HOTEL !!! On arrive Ă  22h pour un sejour de 3 nuits et notre chambre n'Ă©tait toujours pas prĂȘte. On nous a mis dans une autre chambre qui Ă©tait extrĂȘmement SALE ( sol sale, douche remplie de poils de barbe). Pour vous dire mon fils de 1an lorsqu'il trainait au sol il avait les mains et pieds tout noir. -Pas de serviette ni de papier toilette, fallait les demander - coupure d'Ă©lectricitĂ© et le debit d'eau dans la salle de bain etait faible donc par moment pas de possibilitĂ© de se doucher - un gros cafard qui est tombĂ© sur ma femme ( c'est pas un sketch) - le lendemain de la 1er nuit, on decide de sortir et Ă  notre retour, on trouve notre chambre ouverte alors qu'il y avait nos affaires et grande surprise, des gens faisaient la peinture des murs. Depuis quand on repeint les murs d'une chambre occupĂ©e. - apres les travaux la chambre etait encore plus sale avec des traces de peinture partout et les traces de chaussures sur les lits. On s'attendait Ă  ce qu'ils nettoient et changent les draps. Mais rien du tout. Je me suis plaint et ils nous ont changĂ© de chambre - arrivĂ©e dans la nouvelle chambre. Un lit en moins donc 1 personne Ă  du dormir au sol, sol qui etait encore tres sale, j'ai du passĂ© moi mĂȘme la serpiĂšre. Franchement le seul point positif c'Ă©tait un jeune Ă  l'accueil qui essayait de nous trouver des solutions. Donc un conseil, passez votre chemin et cherchez un autre hĂŽtel car on peut pas appeler ça un hĂŽtel
