Soddisfacente ma si può fare di meglio per un 4 stelle

La posizione

− La ventola del bagno non funzionava e il bagno non era sufficientemente pulito

De ligging

− Weinig licht in badkamer

Elke · BE · 2026-07-25

Very agreeable.

8.0

Location and ease of use of facilities. Plus being allowed to store a bag during the last day was appreciated. Tour de France on the sport channel was a bonus.

− A nice initiative (for all small/medium city centre hotels actually) would be to offer free use of bicycles to use around the city. These could be adorned with the hotel livery as an advertisement opportunity.

Petit déjeuner hors normes. Très bien situé. Hôtel de caractère.

− Manque d'intentions comme bouteille d'eau offerte par exemple.
