Séjour décevant ...

Séjour décevant et pour les chambres au fond du couloir avec wc à l'extérieur et une douche bien trop haute pour y rentrer et sortir, le prix est encore trop cher. Dans une des chambres point de lumière de chevet et de lumière au dessus du lavabo! Quand on fait le ménage on vérifie que toutes les ampoules soient opérationnelles! Autant pour moi de ne pas avoir vu que les services d'hygiène étaient à l'extérieur !!! Bref ... je n'en garde pas un bon souvenir ... à ne plus réserver à l'avenir !!!! Par contre la restauration reste toujours très agréable.

Für eine Nacht absolut OK.

Gute Lage, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Menschen, sauber, essen sehr gut Die Zimmer sowie ihre Ausstattung haben ihre Zeit hinter sich. Es gibt sogar Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad, das habe ich ja schon lange nicht mehr gesehen und ist eigentlich auch bei den hiesigen Preisen inakzeptabel. Die Matratzen waren der Horror. Eine kleine Variation von Freigetränken auf dem Zimmer ist eine sehr nette Geste!

Alles in allem eine gute Unterkunft für eine Nacht. Das Personal war freundlich und konnte alles gut erklären. Der Zustand des Gebäudes, vor allem das Gemeinschaftsbad lässt zu wünschen übrig. Die Zimmer sind extrem schalldurchlässig, heisst man hört praktisch jeden Schritt auf dem Gang.
