Lokacija je bila super, saj je bila približno 20 min hoje oddaljena od mestnega centra, ulica s trgovino in restavracijami pa le nekaj minut. Pred nastanitvijo je bilo tudi parkirno mesto.

i felt a bit apprehensive reading some of the reviews but i actually had such a lovely time here the location is fantastic. The room is in good condition very comfortable you can’t really hear the outside world so your sleep is going to be peaceful and the staff are very helpful.

La proximité avec le centre historique (20 min à pied). Le quartier est calme. Les commerces à proximité pour prendre un petit déjeuner.

Le manque de propreté : la moisissure dans la salle de bain, les cheveux qui traînaient au sol. La chambre était censée mesurer 16 m2. Elle en faisait 11 m2 à tout casser et nous étions 3.
