Reviews
1/ The breakfast buffet is definitely amazing and everything is super tasty!
2/ The room is clean, but a bit dark, I would have preferred a bit more lights.
3/ The staff is kind.
4/ The location is practical (because really central), but the view on the containers from the room is not amazing I admit.
Overall, good experience ◡̈
Almost everything right beside the hotel.
