The hotel is not in a prime location but is a short walk from the station and the front (where I had breakfast every day). The hotel is a no frills 3 star place. I had a decent sized bedroom with a large bathroom. Nice and relaxed atmosphere (used the backdoor which was always open rather than traipsing through reception). Quiet room, comfortable bed and thorough daily housekeeping. Good value.

Check in was absolutely not allowed until 3:00 pm. Most hotels in the region have been flexible for early arrivals of 30- 60 minutes. Receptionist was quite abrupt. I doubt that they were facing a soldout condition. They did allow us to store our bags while we exploredthe area. We are a 76 year old couple and we were assigned a 5th floor atic room that required climbing a narrow steep stair after entering the room. A 20 something may have found it romantic. We should probably asked for a different room. areapm.

Horrible room!! We couldn’t sleep, the bed linen seems had dust mites. Damp and felt like a prison cell! The staff seemed friendly though. Strange that we had to book what time to eat breakfast. Good location, but we will never come back to that hotel!

ERIN E

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our room had no air conditioning (despite being advertised as having it), no airflow, and was in the basement next to the breakfast room. Maybe other rooms are better, but this one is unfit for guests. There was also black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and in the air vents, which is not surprising given how hot and steamy the room was all the time. Yes, the decor is old and the room is small, but it was really the temperature that made it completely unsuitable. I’ve stayed in inexpensive hotels all around the world, but have never had a room as bad as this. It was also advertised as a bike hotel, but only allowed check in after 3 (not simple after a long morning of riding). It also only had bike parking available outside—if we had been on more expensive bikes, this would have been a big concern.

Je pense que cette hôtel a besoin d une restauration majeure. Pas d’assesseur pour les étages supérieurs, avec des valises c’est pas facile. La climatisation est désuète. Le wifi est à reconnecter constamment. Pour avoir un réfrigérateur c’était compliqué. Nous avions réservé une chambre pour 3 personnes mais ils ont modifier la réservation pour autre chambre , on a dû se plaindre pour respecter notre réservation mais on nous a mentionné qu on avait pas besoin de cette grandeur. Donc si l’aventure vous intéresse bonne chance.
