Jolie mais a revoir !
Logement au pied du métro, parfait, cependant quelques gros points noirs !
L'enregistrement se fait via un site web très mal codé, où il faut envoyer son passeport et une photo avec son passeport. Ce que je trouve deja derangeant pour reserver une chambre dhotel. Il faudra possiblement vous battre pendant 30 minutes pour réussir à envoyer les informations, sinon pas de carte pour la chambre.
Deuxièmement, nous avons eu la mauvaise surprise, durant les 4 jours du séjour, d’avoir plusieurs fois des soucis d’ouverture de la porte de la chambre. Nous avons dû demander au concierge de nous ouvrir. Après avoir écrit un mail à la CM de l’hôtel, toujours aucune nouvelle. Heureusement, un concierge est présent 24h/24. À noter que nous ne sommes apparemment pas les seuls à avoir eu ces soucis.
La cuisine est un atout, mais il serait également bien de fournir le nécessaire (éponge, etc.). Les coussins sont également nuls.
