My wife & I stayed at this hotel for three nights, Monday 23 - Wednesday 25 June. On its website the hotel states it is ‘Air conditionné’. This is something very important to me, whatever the time of year, given how hot hotel rooms usually get even in winter. As our luck would have it, we arrived during a heatwave. I tried the AC on night 1 & cold air did not emerge. I enquired & was informed that the hotel had been caught out by the heat wave & was, in effect, still on winter setting! That a hotel would seek to prevent guests from cooling their rooms at any time of the year, let alone in June, is outrageous penny pinching. To reassure myself I re-enquired the next day & was told it would actually be Thursday before the AC worked. In the lifts there is a sign that reads ‘19°C: the ideal temperature for a comfortable night’. And yet the hotel was quite prepared to force guests to sleep in rooms where the temperature was more like 29°c. What appalling hypocrisy. We were offered a fan, which we accepted, but suffice it to say this was not on a par with properly functioning AC. And there was no offer of financial compensation in the form of a reduction on the bill. So, if you want ‘proper’ AC, not just AC set to save hotel money, best to check it will actually be available before booking here. Less importantly, many of the USB charging ports in our room did not seem to work & v few plug sockets. Positives: - Well located for tourism. - Room, bathroom etc of a reasonable size & standard but limited storage space; having sheets on the bed as well as duvet welcome; little in the way of ‘external’ (to the room) noise. - Bar offered useful range of reasonably priced snacks. - Breakfast, much as one would expect: good range etc but my wife informs me the baked beans were cold (I did not try anything cooked/heated). Overall, were it not for the disgusting position regarding AC I would have given this hotel a quite positive review.
