HĂŽtel calme et abordable Ă  2 pas du entre de Pau

Le Matisse, que je fréquente pour la 2Ú année consécutive est un petit hÎtel calme dans une rue peu fréquentée à 2 pas du centre de Pau. La chambre est simple mais confortable et fonctionnelle. La propreté des locaux irréprochable. Seul bémol, les chambres ne sont pas, à ce jour, climatisées. Avec les épisodes de canicule qui s'acroissent, les ventilateurs fournis (par ailleurs efficaces) ne sont pas suffisants. Il faut espérer que l'établissement saura évoluer. D'un bon rapport qualité-prix, je le recommande.
