The kindness of the staff and the top breakfast. The room is aging but comfortable and spacious. The beds are great.

The establishment is aging and needs major renovations especially the pool. Lack of equipment around the pool (sunbeds, umbrellas...)

The reality is far from the photos of the offer. It was surely a modern hotel in the past. Now it needs renovation. The furniture in the rooms was scratched and old. The terrace door could not be locked. The carpet in the hallway had stains. There was scaffolding in the lobby during our stay, but no work was being done. For this reason, the restaurant was closed despite the offer. We had to repair the toilet flush twice. The tiles of the pool, which was significantly smaller than expected, were stained. The pillows were lumpy and yellowish.
