"La décoration de l'acceuil est très sympa. Malheureusement, la chambre était sale, la douche pleine de moisissures noires et une fenetre donnant sur la rue ne fermait pas (problème de bruit et de sécurité, pas de coffre-fort dans la chambre). Cet hébergement est cher par rapport à la prestation. Il y a d'autres hébergements plus propres et moins chers dans le même quartier."
