Prima hotel. Wel aan een update toe. Er is geen restaurant/avondeten zoals geadverteerd. Wel zit er een mooi park met veel evenementen, een casino en eetgelegenheid op loopafstand. Daarnaast is het personeel is erg vriendelijk. Wij raden voor avondeten Flo Pizza op loopafstand ten zeerste aan! Verder is de locatie top, prachtig en niet toeristisch. Parkeren op priveterrein kost 8 euro per dag.

Moyen, mais sympa

L'hôtel est un peu fatigué et mériterait une cure de jouvence et de retrouver le restaurant qui faisant sa réputation. Par contre si le matériel est discutable, le personnel est très pro et fait tout son possible pour satisfaire ses clients. Bravo et merci à eux tous (hôtel comme restaurant Bistro).
