Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was well located and the breakfast was excellent! The staff was friendly and nice. The only issue was being asked to pay city tax when it had already been included. Not the fault of the staff. The management should have informed them.

Dortoirs trop étroit, tout les lits sont collé. J'ai préféré finalement aller loué autre part. Douche un peu trop petite aussi. Pour le reste, je ne peux pas juger.
