The shared kitchen was very well equipped. The room was comfortable and practical. The only observation is that the room we had (room 1) due to its location adjacent to the front door and common room, was very noisy. Our sleep was disrupted every time other patrons entered or left.

Loved my stay for a 2nd time

Ownership and name changed since my last stay but it still is as comfy and clean. I love the location. There was one drawback when I arrived, the main road was closed for construction and it was not very clearly identified. The detour was via a veeeeerrry asteep route through the mountain. Noth anyone's fault but it was a drawback for me. I would return for sure.

I wish I could love this hotel as it looks very chic from the pictures but I was traveling with children and the bunk bed was very squeaky and mattress so uncomfortable, you literally sink into the mattress as it had poor support. Facilities wise, there’s no fridge, microwave or coffee maker in the room, and the closest coffee shop is ten minutes by car. I guess it could work for travellers who just want to spend the night, but definitely do not recommend for family with children.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had room one and the noise levels were just awful, the room shook as people entered and excited the property. People using the living space were really disrespectful about noise even after being asked twice to keep it down at 7am they were letting kids run around screaming and there was no soundproofing at all. The hotel hot tub wasn’t warm so we were unable to use it.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Things were good. I loved the common kitchen area. I didn't mean the staff but they were very responsive over SMS. My only complaint is that I hated how the double rooms were partitioned by a bathroom. So to get from one room to another you have to go through the bathroom. To wash your hands you have to exit the washroom into a room where a sink is (which suggests the door handles must be gross) Otherwise, room was fine, common areas were nice - fooseball table, TV, pool table. Kitchen had freezer space, fridge space, full stove, dishwasher, utensils, everything

Très bien

Surprenant au départ, car aucun personnel dans l’établissement, mais cela n’est en rien problématique car j’étais parfait autrement les explications reçues par message et étaient très clair. La chambre était très confortable avec une hygiène parfaite. Grande cuisine et buanderie est disponible. Jacuzzi très chaud et bel extérieur. Conclusion : Excellent rapport/qualité prix
