Hôtel de l'horreur

FUYEZ CET HOTEL !!! On arrive à 22h pour un sejour de 3 nuits et notre chambre n'était toujours pas prête. On nous a mis dans une autre chambre qui était extrêmement SALE ( sol sale, douche remplie de poils de barbe). Pour vous dire mon fils de 1an lorsqu'il trainait au sol il avait les mains et pieds tout noir. -Pas de serviette ni de papier toilette, fallait les demander - coupure d'électricité et le debit d'eau dans la salle de bain etait faible donc par moment pas de possibilité de se doucher - un gros cafard qui est tombé sur ma femme ( c'est pas un sketch) - le lendemain de la 1er nuit, on decide de sortir et à notre retour, on trouve notre chambre ouverte alors qu'il y avait nos affaires et grande surprise, des gens faisaient la peinture des murs. Depuis quand on repeint les murs d'une chambre occupée. - apres les travaux la chambre etait encore plus sale avec des traces de peinture partout et les traces de chaussures sur les lits. On s'attendait à ce qu'ils nettoient et changent les draps. Mais rien du tout. Je me suis plaint et ils nous ont changé de chambre - arrivée dans la nouvelle chambre. Un lit en moins donc 1 personne à du dormir au sol, sol qui etait encore tres sale, j'ai du passé moi même la serpière. Franchement le seul point positif c'était un jeune à l'accueil qui essayait de nous trouver des solutions. Donc un conseil, passez votre chemin et cherchez un autre hôtel car on peut pas appeler ça un hôtel

Vidrigt! Minus -3 stjärnor

Rekommenderar inte till någon. 1. Väldigt väldigt smutsigt. - täcken hade fläckar fick lägga Mina kläder på sängen och sova på dem. 2. Duschen har inget tack. 3. Ingen tvål Ingen schampo 4. Handduken med fläckar. 5. Smutsigt badrum 6. Stop i dusch brunnen. 7. Ingen ljudisoleringen maskiner till vatten o ac låter in i rummet. Även personal o dess musik hördes in till rummet. Förstår inte hur den här kan vara 3 stjärnigt de e rena bedrägeriet. Det enda positiva var att personalen var trevliga.

The worst experience ever. Starting with the condition of the room, the hygiene standard, to the disgusting attitude from the staff there. The only person who had a friendly and hospitable attitude was the guy who helped with my bag and room service.
