A fuir.

Emplacement central, mais photo bookings bien loin de la réalité.

Malhonnêteté, réservé 3 nuits, nous voulons partir des la première, ont inventé des charges supplémentaires aux 50% prévu. Tout est de notre faute aucune remise en question aucun essaie d'arranger les choses.

Comfortable place, very clean and central. Staffs are nice and welcome. Location is very good, easy to find out and flexible check in, what helped me a lot, since I arrived 10:30 pm. Also, nice bakery in front.
