Ancien Hôpital réhabilité

Le concept de cet hôtel est particulier et n’est pas mentionné dans l’annonce que ce l’hôtel se situe au 4 eme étages dans un ancien hôpital, ambiance en rentrant « cloque » , on ne se sent pas en sécurité à l’extérieur du bâtiment.. Navrée de cette évaluation négative.. le concept est bienveillant pour les réfugiés, j’ai mis des étoiles pour le personnel accueillant et la propreté des chambres, la déco à cet étages qui nous fait oublier que nous sommes dans un ancien hôpital réhabilité mais en revanche ce n’est pas digne d’un hôtel pour le cadre professionnel ou familial.. Hôtel indiqué 3 étoiles je ne comprends pas. Nous avons payé la chambre mais nous n’y sommes pas resté.

Un endroit ettonant mais bonnes prestations.

Un hôtel sans prétention dans un tiers lieu. Un peu étrange lorsqu'on arrive sur place, mais tout est fait pour vous rendre le séjour agréable. (ascenseur privatif, badge d'accès sécurisé,...) Sachant que c'est aussi un lieu de formation il est important de soutenir ces jeunes dans leur travail. Un endroit sympathique.
