Terrible experience with really strong smell

We got a code to enter the hotel. When arriving to the room the smell was so strong, from black mold. We couldn't change room, the hotel was unmanned. We got headache, cough and astma symtoms and damp sheets. Since staying on first floor with only a window towards the street it was not possible to have a saft open windown either. We talked to the hotel the morning after that said they had a water leakage and was sorry about the inconvenience and promised to refund. But they didn't. We had to wash the clothes several times after this night.

Séjour parfait

Emplacement de l'hôtel parfait, au cœur de la station. Chambre très bien rénové, bien isolé phoniquement bien que fenêtre sur rue. Pas de clim dans les chambres mais pas besoin ! un ventilateur est là et il fait très bien l'affaire (la chambre est bien isolé thermiquement aussi). Petit déjeuner très agréable au bar français, rayon de soleil, vue sur le port et sourire des équipes. Les propriétaires de l'hôtel sont très sympathiques. On ne comptait pas revenir dans cet hôtel car on aime bien changé mais là on reviendra !
