"L'hôtel est très bien situé. En plein coeur de toutes les attractions. Le personnel est super accueillant et gentil. Le garde de sécurité René est très sympathique et aide beaucoup pour trouver des endroits magnifiques. Le seul hic c'est que les chambres ne sont pas insonorisées. Ma première nuit fut correcte mais la seconde nuit, il y avait beaucoup de touristes aussi et j'ai pas réellement pu me reposer car j'entendais tout. Mais a part cela je recommande cet hôtel a Léon. Pour sur que j'y reviendrai"
