Hôtel Palace Royal Centre-Ville par JARO
A gem!! This place was so beautiful, and it really felt like it transported you somewhere tropical. The breakfast was great, room was awesome, pool area was obviously the really impressive bit. The hot tub could have been hotter, and it was often overfilled with children, but then I found the sauna ...

The room was clean, but the fridge wasn't working and an opened beers was left in it from previous travellers. We called front desk, he verified it. But never came back to fix it.
