    Hôtel très bien situé, propre et confortable. Le personnel est accueillant. Le petit-dejeuner est varié. Quant au restaurant Gaée, décevant! Nous avions choisi ce restaurant, attirés par le positionnement semi-gastronomique et les avis globalement positifs. Malheureusement, l’expérience n’a pas été à la hauteur. Les plats étaient correctement présentés, mais manquaient clairement de saveur et de finesse. Pour des prix assez élevés, on s’attend à des associations plus travaillées. Le service, bien que poli, était très rapide, voire trop rapide. En résumé, un restaurant correct, mais qui ne justifie pas ses tarifs.

    The hotel is very well located, the service impeccable, and the room very clean. The welcome was warm and professional. However, what bothered me about the overall experience was the fact that the hotel parking was not free. For me, this is an important factor when choosing a hotel. Unfortunately, I was unaware that parking was not free.
