L'emplacement ideal près de l'arrêt du tram. Les chambres familiales sont calmes malgré l'animation du rez-de-chaussée.

Propre, grand, emplacement dans une forêt et les lits disposent d’un rideau pour plus d’intimité

− Un peu loin du centre

Just for ugly people like the personal on there. Enjoy your stay!

Beautiful location! And cool amenities

− The front desk personal is rude, they doesn’t know how to treat the guests and no have models at all. Obviously is because isn’t an expensive hotel, but I think the service is what makes the reputation of the place, no the price per night.
