The staff are nice and the price is good, but the room has seen better days, there is no wifi and it's a good bit out of town.

Mauvaise expérience

Chambre non prête à notre arrivée, 1 lit sans matelas ni draps, pas de serviettes de toilette, 2 oreillers manquants, débit insuffisant pour prendre une douche. Petit déjeuner inclus mais dont nous n'avons pas profité car notre départ était 1/4 d'heure avant les horaires de petit déjeuner et aucune solution ne nous a été proposé (ni horaire avancé, ni de boîte à emporter)

Schlechtestes Hotel bisher

Nach der Ankunft im ersten Zimmer mit einem zwar schönen großen Bett aber vielen Makeln musste das Zimmer getauscht werden! Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht bei hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur, Badezimmer sehr dreckig, Kleiderschränke waren nicht zu benutzen, Kühlschrank defekt! Es wurde ein Hotel mit WLAN gebucht das schlichtweg nicht vorhanden war und drei Wochen lang erzählt dass es morgen repariert werden würde. Auch im zweiten Zimmer funktionierte Klospülung und Kühlschrank nicht, Sauberkeit des Badezimmers mangelhaft! Frühstück ist eine Banane und Kaffeepulver durchsetzt mit Ameisen..
