Deçu dans l’ensemble..

Voyage en amoureux, avec un hôtel mignon sur le papier.. avec vu sur la mer qui s’est transformé en chambre en rez-de-chaussée avec vue sur une palisse et un bungalow.. tarif excessif pour la prestation avec un petit déjeuner à 12€, malgré tout bonne literie et accueil sympa c’est déjà ça.

vacances ratées

mon sejour c'est rapidement abregé, la chambre que l'on m'avait reservée etait pratiquement en sous sol et sent?ait le renfermé.C'est un vrai scandale , mes vacances sont gachées. Rien a voir ,avec la presentation de ce "charmant petit hotel". Je ne comprends pas que vous puissiez cautionner de telles choses,

Pour un Hôtel nommé au Petit bonheur l'accueil n'est pas à la hauteur pas très acuillante à peine bonjour et surtout quitter la chambre à 10h00 une première le lendemain matin, on venait de faire 90 kms de velo 0n aurait aimé se reposer au moins jusqu'à 10h00. Sinon chambre très correct manque juste une petite Clim vu qu,il faisait 32°. Bonne restauration on a bien mangé service sympa par des jeunes filles très souriante et à l'écoute ça a changer de l'accueil. Lol. Le petit-déjeuner n'est pas très équilibré a revoir avec des fruits frais,des œufs frais,du jambon blanc ect.....

Séjour de 2 jours, petite chambre avec vue sur mer, literie plutôt confortable, mais à éviter si l'on est claustrophobe, espace petit pour circuler et peu d'ouverture vers l'extérieur. La salle de bain n'est pas exceptionnelle mais est suffisante (fuite au niveau des pommeaux de douche). Petit-déjeuner convenable, très simple mais suffisant. Personnel agréable et sympathique. Parfait pour un petit séjour.
