Hôtel propre mais vieillissant, personnel peu engageant; beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité des infrastructures et le br
Propre
Beaucoup trop bruyant en raison du trafic et de la musique extérieure; impossible de s’endormir puis de dormir correctement avec les fenêtres ouvertes tellement il y avait de bruit; réveillés plusieurs fois…
