Parfait!!! Je n’ai pas l’habitude de dire que je trouve un hôtel bien et encore moins à ce prix là. Mais lorsque je suis arrivé dans cet hôtel je me suis demandé toute la nuit si cela n’était pas une farce tant le lieux et l’accueille ne représente pas le prix aussi bas. Vous êtes dans un hôtel étoilés alors que vous payer le prix d’un F1!!! Et le confort des chambres et digne de la gentillesse et de la disponibilité du personnel toujours aux petits soins qu‘en repartant d’ici j’avais l’impression que devant l’entrée un chauffeur allé me récupérer! Une vraie belle trouvaille que je souhaite vous faire partager. Car venir dans ce cadre (Aix les bains) et passer une nuit dans cet hôtel vous laissera à vous aussi à coups sûrs une expérience magique. Merci 🙏

部屋の割に安く、親切ですが

値段の割に部屋は広いですが、メンテナンスは十分とは言えません。 タオルは3日に1度の交換でコップもありません。 エアコンが部屋には無いので、最上階になるスタンダードは避けた方が良いです。

La chambre jolie au demeurant était si mal insonorisée. Et quelle étrange experience de séjourner dans un hôtel dans lequel il n'y a personne. Ni à l'accueil, ni dans la salle de restauration fermée. Tout se fait à partir de différents codes envoyés sur le téléphone. Moderne impersonnel et chambre peu confortable...

Très bon hôtel, très bien situé

Hôtel très bien situé et propre. Il n'y a pas d'accueil, tout se fait à distance, mais cela fonctionne. Un bémol pour la salle de bain, avec allumage automatique avec minuterie, qui donne sur la chambre par une baie vitrée ; difficile de ne pas réveiller l'autre quand on s'y rend en pleine nuit...
