Pas terrible
Hôtel loin de ce qui est décrit sur le net. Propreté zéro, draps moustiquaire état des chambres très sales. A chaque fois on enlevait tout et on mettait nos serviettes pour dormir. En plus les propriétaires font la fête entre elles juste à côté de la chambre jusqu’a Heure tardive. Bref. Je ne le recommande pas.
