"À quelques minutes à pied de la station de train, l’hôtel est bien situé. Les chambres sont propres et bien entretenues et comme l’hôtel est en hauteur, ce n’est pas tres bruyant. Petit déjeuner ok. Pas grand chose à redire sur l’hôtel. Service laisse un peu à désirer notamment à la réception mais outre cela c’est bien."
