The view was spectacular because the hotel is on top of a mountain, so we had a wonderful sleep. There’s limited dining places in walking distance. The breakfast was good. The issue here is that it’s a work in progress. They are still building and ironing out the details.

Worn-down hotel
Worn-down hotel, dirty room, the hallway light leading to the room didn’t work, and overall the hotel felt unpleasant and unclean.
An extra €10 per person for breakfast is not worth it – the quality was simply too poor.
This hotel cannot be recommended, whether you’re looking for a cozy stay or just a quick overnight stop hoping for a good start to the next day with a nice breakfast.
It was the wrong choice on our part.

The hotel is very tired and dated, definitely not a 3 star,
I would class this as cheap and cheerful,
The breakfast for €10 wasn’t worth it for a couple of croissants and coffee which I couldn’t drink.

Clearly a work in progress. No one there when I arrived and no one answered the call bell. I found a sign that said to register at the red box. Found a red machine by the door that resembled an atm. Figured it out and it gave me a key. The front door was jammed into a partially opened position. The door at the end of my hall was wide open. I’m a solo female traveller and this gave me pause. Wifi is terrible. No plug by the bed to charge phone. Slept ok. Excellent AC and shower. The manager and I had words which I’m sorry about. The night guy was really great and helped me order a pizza and figure out the vending.

Malgré quelques avis négatifs, j’ai tenté pour un séjour professionnel.
Évidemment ce n’est pas un 5 etoiles.
J’ai trouvé l’hôtel propre. Certes quelques réparations (plafond inesthétique dans ma chambre)
Literie bonne,
Rien à redire.
Petit déjeuner très correct

Accueil sympathique par le Directeur de l'établissement. tout était propre, rien a redire. notre petit chien était accepté sans problème. pas de difficulté pour stationner, grand parking. Seul petit reproche, les claquements de porte. il faut toujours qu'il y ait des clients qui se croient tout seul. Peut être l'hotel pourrait il remédier à ça. Bref, j'y retournerai si l'occasion se présente. le prix est également attractif.
Impitoyable au niveau d’hygiène, une auteur d’humidité qui est dominante dans toutes les pièces, chaque matériel qui nécessite d’être soit rénové soit complètement remplacé, un bruit d’aération qui continue sans cesse, une ruelle entouré des déchetterie….

Albergo discreto per chi vuole soggiornare per una notte come abbiamo fatto noi, sulle pareti c'erano delle ragnatele, segno che la pulizia viene fatta raramente. Camere tenute in pessime condizioni, struttura vecchia e da ristrutturare. Personale disponibile.
