J’y ai passé deux nuits. Le personnel est très gentil et le petit-déjeuner propose l’essentiel, avec notamment une bonne salade de fruits frais. Seul bémol : le bip de l’ascenseur que j’entendais depuis ma chambre, et surtout les pas de la personne située à l’étage au-dessus (boum boum boum) qui ont un peu gâché la tranquillité. À noter aussi : l’hôtel se mérite, car il faut grimper la montée des Carmélites pour y accéder ;)

Tout s'est très bien passé, la chambre était parfaitement adaptée à nos besoins. Un seul détail, il manque une lumière à l'arrivée dans la partie du haut des lits individuels. Sinon, rien à signaler

Overpriced for the service & standards.
Very understaffed. Buffet breakfast vas very limited and ran out by 9am and wasn’t refilled.
Room was dusty and single bedsheets too small for the beds.
Staff not very helpful, surprising as they’re in a customer service role.
On the positive side the design and decoration of the hotel and communal area is great!

gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Ich habe in einem 4er Shared-Room zwei Nächte übernachtet. Das Zimmer war gut klimatisiert und gross genug für vier Personen. Das Bad war direkt im Zimmer. Es wurde täglich gereinigt. Das inbegriffene Frühstück war ausreichend und lecker.
Das einzige was etwas schade war, dass ich ein Bett in der oberen Etage erhalten habe. Das Hochklettern war nicht ganz einfach über die Treppe.
Les chambres sont biens et propres. Dommage qu il n y a pas de système de détection pour les veilleuses pour les lits en bas. Elles sont allumées toute la nuit :-(. 8 lits = 4 veilleuses alors si tu es habitué à dormir dans l'obscurité totale oublie le sommeil va tarder. L'équipe à l accueil est très bien. Keep it up!
