Room needs repairs, avoid rooms near lift.

Noise from lifts kept me awake until late then woke me early in the morning. The sink had a crack in it, the shower went hot and cold, and the grout on the tiles was black in places. However, the hotel has a nice gym and swimming pool with great views. The breakfast was good also. It's a shame the room I stayed in was not better.

Overpriced…

The hotel is in a nice area and staff were so kind but the price is so much for the room. When you pay much you expect a big room with options. The AC was so old and the bathroom ventilation was broken. The flow of the water in the shower was bad and it was continuously hot and cold. Also they say the restaurant is open till 10.30 for breakfast but if you go at 10.15 you ll see many things are taken, you can’t get omelettes even you can’t find tea to drink. So what is the logic, just close the restaurant at 10.00 then…

Hôtel bien situé Piscine et spa a disposition. Seul bémol. Il faut réserver et vous avez droit à 1h par jour. Buffet très moyen. Si aimez la foule vous serez à votre aise. Les chambres: Notre salle de bains bien (a été refaite), par contre la chambre et la literie date des années 60. Literie pas confortable du tout. Literie a ressorts. Trés moyen pour un hôtel 4 étoiles. Bon pour un séjour de passage ou de quelques jours.

1980 ringte og ville ha hotellet sitt tilbake! Hvis du er fan 80 talls estetikk og slitent interiør med en aircondition som lager lyder som kun kan minne om tropiske fuglers paringsdans på tilfeldige tidspunkt hele natten (med garantert våkne garanti, her snakker vi sikkert 95 db!) så anbefales dette hotellet 😅 Ellers er beliggenheten bra med T bane like ved. Rolig strøk. Frokosten er helt grei, ikke fantastisk, men bra nok til at du kan kose deg. Airconditionen kan lage nordpol temp på rommet ditt hvis du vil det.
