Très bon accueil et emplacement sympa, mais chambre chère pour la prestation (chambre '"Premium" et non la basique, je précise...) : Chambre très petite, idem pour la télé (écran d'ordinateur ?), chauffage insuffisant, isolation phonique catastrophique (je me suis réveillé au rythme de mon voisin...), eau chaude dans la douche difficile à avoir et aucun support à l'intérieur (pas pratique !), volet de la fenêtre cassé et donc non-occultant,... Bref, rapport qualité/prix très mauvais, digne d'une chambre basique d'un hôtel 2 étoiles.

Très décevant

Les photos sur le site ne sont pas proche de la réalité. Chambre microscopique, idem pour la salle de bain et les toilettes. Pas de stationnement, ou place de parking très loin. Le coin bien être, très bien. Le restaurant c’est une cantine en fait! Le personnel très réactif et sympathique. En résumé nous sommes déçus en arrivant car c’est loin de ressembler au descriptif vu sur le site. Ce n’est pas un hôtel mais une résidence vacances!! Je ne recommande pas.

En arrivant dans la chambre, j'ai dû faire un peu de ménage. Sur le lit, des résidus noirs et de la poussière sur les équipements. J'ai tué environ une quinzaine de mouches avant de réellement m'installer. Le velux ne fermait pas entièrement et la porte d'entrée non plus. Et le petit déjeuner à 13€, une vraie arnaque !

Arnaque à l'étoile

Bien qu'ayant payé une chambre classique, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans une chambre éco petite, sous les toits, sans clim, avec une odeur d'égout en arrivant .... Salle de bains d'époque, même pas un verre pour boire... Des étoiles complètement usurpées, un petit déjeuner industriel à souhait, à éviter !
