Bien situé une fois sorti de la gare mais pas de savon dans la chambre service minimum. Personnel sympathique toutefois
The reception area was small and unattended. After a small wait - someone came in and the process took a while to book in.
The hotel was grotty, stairs cracked, walls and floors dirty and the room had stains on the floor and the toilet was manky.
Paid for breakfast but didnt bother having it
