The garden
Everything, uncomfortable beds, dirty bathroom, thin walls, etc
Chambre fonctionnelle et propre, bien pour une nuit. Les indications d'arrivée étaient bien ainsi que la localisation. Personnel agréable
La chambre est très sommaire, c'est bien pour une nuit mais on sent que…
The location and common aerea
The bed was terrible.super uncomfortable and noisy. Didnt sleem a second. And super expensive for what you get
Location, comfy, value
Communal areas didn't feel that clean, especially the male block
Unfortunately, our stay resulted in a financial loss. Somehow, our personal data appears to have been compromised, and we ended up paying for the accommodation twice. We were pressured to make a payment via WhatsApp…
Late check in available.
Location not ideal (only close to train and bus). Shower facilities. Cleanliness. Unavailability of mugs/cutlery in the kitchen.
