Rigtig fin morgenmad. Værelset lå i den gamle del af hotellet og bærer præg af at det er af ældre dato. Værelset var ubehageligt varmt at komme ind i (26 gr) så de første 3 timer blev brugt på at lufte ud. Meget venligt personale.

Bonjour La fermeture du restaurant aurait dû être signalé et la climatisation dans la chambre orientée sur un lit n’a pas pu être utilisée … sinon tout s’est bien passé.

Für eine Übernachtung auf der Durchreise haben wir hier einen sehr angenehmen und unkomplizierten Aufenthalt verbracht. Die Kinder haben sich sehr über die Badewanne gefreut, für ältere Personen könnte der Einstieg etwas schwierig sein.
