No hot water to the room throughout our stay, dated decor, poor lighting, double bed was two singles pushed together, drafty room. Staff were helpful enough and pleasant. Location and parking was excellent.

Je pense que l hotel a besoin d une bonne dose de remise au propre. Il n est pas a la hauteur d un 3 étoiles. Employer une gouvernante ne serait pas du luxe.
Possibilité de stationner à l’intérieur très appréciable. Très bon accueil. Personnel à l’écoute. Proche de toutes commodités, shoppings, océan, environnement très agréable et calme. Piscine non chauffée mais agréable en fin de journée quand même!
Très déçus
Chambres et salle de bain ridiculement petites aucune décoration dans la chambre . 3 prises ne fontionnaient pas et aucune à la tête du lit. Ascenseur intile car se trouvant entre 2 étages donc pas du tout adapté au handicap
Plein d"escaliers.Tapis de bain effiloché. Un point positif son excellente situation géographique.

I really enjoyed my stay as a solo traveller, though I wish they supplied your room with drinking water and glasses.
Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits avec petit déjeuner. Tout était correct. Environnement assez calme. On a pû profiter de la piscine.

The hotel is not in a prime location but is a short walk from the station and the front (where I had breakfast every day). The hotel is a no frills 3 star place. I had a decent sized bedroom with a large bathroom. Nice and relaxed atmosphere (used the backdoor which was always open rather than traipsing through reception). Quiet room, comfortable bed and thorough daily housekeeping. Good value.
Hôtel bien situé un plus le parking. piscine ok mais nous nous sommes baignés et nous avons du partir car il n’y avait pas de transats ni de chaises pour au moins se sécher Petit déjeuner moyen mais le prix correct.
Hôtel très bien situé
Maison de charme dont l intérieur aurait besoin d un petit rafraîchissement….
Personnel peu disponible et caché derrière le comptoir

Check in was absolutely not allowed until 3:00 pm. Most hotels in the region have been flexible for early arrivals of 30- 60 minutes. Receptionist was quite abrupt. I doubt that they were facing a soldout condition. They did allow us to store our bags while we exploredthe area. We are a 76 year old couple and we were assigned a 5th floor atic room that required climbing a narrow steep stair after entering the room. A 20 something may have found it romantic. We should probably asked for a different room. areapm.

Moyen bien
On va commencer par le négatif, car c'est l'intérêt d'un feedback.
Ma chambre était vraiment petite, et bien que je n'y suis pas resté longtemps, j'ai trouvé qu'il n'était pas simple de circuler.
Très peu de rangements.
Beaucoup de bruit, on entend les portes grincer, les claquements de portes, ... bref la sérénité n'est pas au rendez-vous.
Le petit-déjeuner est très chère (12 €) pour ce qu'il y a.
Mais sinon, ça va !
Le personnel est agréable et pro.
L'hygiène est bien.
Donc bon, ...
Perfectible, mais pas non plus désagréable.

Hôtel correct avec parking
L'emplacement est idéal, la piscine et le parking sont de vrais atouts. Les chambres sont mal insonorisées et de petite taille, surtout la salle de bain. D'autant que j'avais réservé une chambre double et qu'on m'a attribué une single. L'accueil n'est pas très chaleureux.

Hotellet är trevligt och ligger i ett lugnt område. Gött med poolen på eftermiddagen efter en dag p å stranden. Frukosten har ett dåligt utbud, de sparar på croissanter som inte gick åt dagen innan.. kan bli lite torra. Dock är väl 12 euro ett okej pris.

Hôtel vieillot qui aurait besoin de rafraîchissements.
Bel hôtel. Un peu vieillot à l'intérieur mais les chambres restent tout à fait correctes. La chambres mezzanine très appréciée. Le hic, quand on est clostro comme moi, manque d'ouverture. Fenêtre beaucoup trop petite à mon goût......
Nice hotel, nice quiet location a short walk from the beach, shops and restaurants.
Hotel was clean and comfortable with free on site parking,, great value, I would stay again.
