The bed

Location is closed to the venue (Ansolia)

foam mattresses are not suitable for our spines

The express breakfast was cheap, only 3,5€ for a croissant and a coffee. There was a restaurant in the hotel, which is convenient.

Everything in the room was small: Bathroom was too small. The room was small, the desk was small... All you want to do is to stay out of your room. Restaurant: waited a long time for my dinner approx. 40min. When it finally came, the broccolis pure tasted really bad kind of old stuff. I complained immediately. The staff offered to change my plate, but I refused, since I had already waited 40min... I just did not eat the broccolis pure.

yeah, we were late arriving, withour notifying them, seems they waited as long as possible for us , as soon as they checked us in, and made sure we were comfortable, they then closed the checkin /reception desk, but they were very helpful , so fuull marks. to tehm.

I like the hotel but it is difficult to find restaurants and gas stations nearby. Luckily, the hotel provides a fixed supper menu (by reservation upon check-in) and a very good continental breakfast (10.00 Euro).

Breakfast room was very crowded as a coach of students were already there at 7 am. Food was running out.

Perfect one night stay travel hotel. Basic, but clean and with a restaurant.

It’s value for money. Don’t expect to much.

Excellent food and drinks at low price, good place for a stop.

The adequate hotel is an important thing. This had a hot shower and a bed and air conditioning.....

....but I did wake up the next morning feeling achy and unrested because the pillows weren't great and the bed was small for a couple and the air conditioning had to blow all night to keep us warm, but also keep us awake. So, all in all a mixed bag. It was cheap.

It was relatively close to the motorway.

Upon standing up from sitting at the fitted in desk, I bumped my head on the large shelf (holding the TV set) which was immediately above the desk. There was only one chair in the room - for two people.

A lovely place with a good breakfast. Convenient location. Very friendly staff.

Everything was fine, but there was no kettle in the room, which was a bit inconvenient. Otherwise, everything was great!

Good location, friendly staff

hallway smell was bad, room was clean nd comfortble., nothing fancy or remarkable.

Small bedroom and bathroom but spotlessly clean. Lovely lady when we checked in and explained night procedure to us, gates locked to secure car park etc. Restaurant not open on the Sunday night we stayed but had a beer from the bar and sat outside in a small terrace area. Free WiFi. Didn't hear any noise at night. Breakfast was the usual continental selection.

The location appeared to be a long walk to the town centre or restaurants/bars. No kettle in the room.

A great hotel, with a family vibe to it. Very close to the autoroute, lots of nearby shops and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

A bit dated.

location near the highway - nice staff - parking in front - aircon in each room - In general very goo value for money

code to exit from the parking if you plan to leave early, after you drop your key in the box - a bit noisy outside if you plan to leave the windows open overnight (but there is an airco in the room, so we did not need to leave open the window).

Good location for a stop over. Cheap and cheerful.and clean with parking. Bar if required.

Wasn't given an exit code for the gate ( not on the invoice either), so my early start wasn't as early as hoped.

Friendly atmosphere and staff.Very good homemade food at their restaurant. Good continental breakfast +pancakes :)!

Bed a bit too short for us (1,90m) but comfortable otherwise

EV charger available and working fine (though some customers did not full respect the parking slots)Late check in well organised for our 2 rooms Well located regarding highway Basic design but clean and comfortable

Nothing really. Very decent hotel for a stop over

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The eveningdinner was simple but very tasteful.

the room was stuffy. it seemed like it hadn't been aired in ages. it smelled like sweat...

Only a few minutes from the motorway and as we were passing through this was a plus. Also the restaurant onsite was an added bonus and even more so when the evening meal was excellent. The Staff at the reception and in the restaurant were lovely and friendly. Room was simple, clean, comfortable and adequate. Our dog was welcome.
