The guys at the reception are very friendly and supportive. I do not recommend the breakfast. The room is not as expected. Small bathroom for a deluxe room. No slippers. They did not change the bed sheet or the pillow covers all my stay.

The property was great as it was only a few steps away from Guhane station, plenty of dining options around and shops. However, it was too noisy! I have stayed at hostels that are more quiet than this hotel. The elevator runs loudy, especially if you stay on floor 6/7. I could barely get any sleep during my stay there. I honestly do NOT recommend this hotel and definitely will not come back.

nicht empfehlenswert

“Absolut nicht zu empfehlen. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein, was noch in Ordnung wäre, da man dort ohnehin nur schläft. Aber das Badezimmer ist ein Albtraum – so klein, dass man Platzangst bekommt, wenn man die Toilette benutzen möchte. Duschen ist ebenfalls nahezu unmöglich, da es so eng ist, dass man sich nicht richtig bewegen kann. Das Personal war auch nicht besonders hilfsbereit. Für einen Preis von 160 EUR pro Nacht für ein Doppelzimmer ist dieses Hotel nicht empfehlenswert.”

Nous avons séjourné 14 nuits dans cet hôtel. Nous en sommes très déçues car en effet dès notre arrivée les lits sont inadéquats (1 double et 1 lit d’appoint cassé), alors que l’on avait bien demandé 2 lits simples!! Lits bruyants dans une chambre bruyante près de la salle où il y a plein de machines, des tuyaux…. L’enfer quoi!!! Le personnel nous a dit de rester 3 nuits dans cette chambre pour nous installer dans une autre. L’autre c’était pareil et aucune vue sur la rue !!! Petit déjeuner pas bon du tout et répétitif…. C’était clairement une perte d’argent. Petit point positif quelques personnes de l’hôtel sympa hormis cela vraiment nul. Je ne recommande pas du tout!! A fuir!!!
