Absolultely tiny room - claustrophobic

Friendly reception and breakfast provided for a decent price. However, the room was titchy - barely 20cm on either side of the bed and 50cm at the foot of the bed. The bathroom didnt look particularly clean as i found hair from other people there, and i occasionally smelt wafts of urine. The bottom sheet of the bed just wouldnt stay in place, exposing the matresse underneath.

Clean, newly renovated, and affordable

We’ve got the room for four as it was a family trip. Actually there are 2 rooms. Excellent beds, newly renovated and updated unit. The bathroom is tiny but it does the job. We were very pleased with the condition. Looks better in the inside than outside. Definitely recommend if you are not bothered by the proximity to the highway.

Good hotel but not too quiet

Very good, comfortable and clean hotel but walls are a little thin. Traffic and noise noise from guest rooms make getting a good nights sleep not easy. But for a sound sleeper it should be fine.

Hôtel à fuir – à éviter absolument !

Nous sommes arrivés pour un séjour d’une nuit. En entrant dans la chambre, nous avons immédiatement constaté la présence de plusieurs araignées et de toiles d’araignée un peu partout (au plafond, sous le lit, dans la salle de bain). Une odeur insupportable régnait dans la chambre, le sol était sale et la salle de bain également dans un état déplorable. J’ai signalé ces problèmes au personnel ainsi qu’au responsable de l’hôtel, mais aucune proposition ne m’a été faite. J’ai dû moi-même nettoyer pour pouvoir passer une nuit… horrible. J’ai demandé à changer de chambre, mais ma demande a été refusée. 👉 À éviter absolument, hôtel à fuir !
