The location was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was a really enjoyable experience and I’d happily stay here again!
Verified review

6/10 Good

La chambre est spacieuse et agréable, mais il manque quelques équipements pratiques pour ranger ses affaires. La salle de bain pourrait également être mieux aménagée : un petit pot ou support pour poser les brosses à dents serait appréciable. Enfin, une seule serviette est fournie ; il serait préférable d’en avoir une deuxième, notamment pour le visage. Le personnel est très aimable, attentionné et disponible. Un grand merci à Jojo pour son accueil chaleureux et son aide à chaque besoin ou question. Une personne vraiment très serviable et agréable ! L’ambiance du lieu est très agréable et conviviale. L’établissement propose de nombreuses activités ainsi que des soirées, ce qui permet de profiter pleinement du séjour.
