Dovi Stayed 15 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carina Nov 18, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Das Beste vorab: Das Personal ist top, extrem freundlich, äußerst hilfsbereit, reagiert schnell auf Bedürfnisse, lösungsorientiert - einfach lobenswert! Das Frühstück war zwar überschaubar, aber vollkommen in Ordnung, die Croissants haben hervorragend geschmeckt. Insgesamt ist das Hotel ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen: Die Zimmer waren zweckmäßig eingerichtet, einzelne Einrichtungsgegenstände (z. B. Waschbecken) waren in einem schlechten Zustand, Wasserstrahl in der Intensität sehr unterschiedlich, meistens recht schwach, Wasserqualität nicht gut, ein einziges Mal hatten wir warmes Wasser, Hotel ist sehr hellhörig, durchgängig guten Schlaf findet man selten, nebenan hörte man um die Ziegen blöken. Die Dachterasse ist sehr heruntergekommen. Wir hatten dennoch eine schöne und unvergessliche Zeit und man muss ja auch sagen: Der Aufenthalt im Illiyin war preislich enorm günstig. ##### Carina Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### julie Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Staff & service J'avais payé pour une semaine, mais je suis restée 3 jours( j'ai pris un autre hôtel Azalai) Le lieu est résidence, très calme. L'hôtel affiche sur le site un restaurant et un institut bien être, mais sur place rien de tout ça.. aucun restaurant à proximité.. Le personnel est très sympa. Un petit-déjeuner avec peu de choix ( omelette sur 3 jours ) J'espère que le patron prendra en compte les avis des clients.. Surtout supprimer les photos du restaurant et l'institut ( je m'étais basée sur les photos et la proximité avec l'université) la chambre était propre...il fallait demander la clim et la télé..Merci de ne pas supprimer les avis. ##### julie Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laurent Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness #### Correct pour quelques jours seul ou en couple Un hôtel simple et des chambres également simples dont les lits sont posés au sol. L’accueil du personnel est correct et serviable. Pas de restaurant dans l’hôtel mais la personne a proposé de me faire livrer le repas d’un restaurant. À seulement 10 mn 1 pieds, il y a un Auchan, Decatlon, KFC et un Pathé cinema. L’application Yango permet de se commander un taxi pour aller vers une destination. Pour aller dans le quartier du plateau ou au port, il faut compter au moins 20-30 mn ##### Laurent Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### jean francois Dec 5, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Triste a souhait ##### jean francois Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renata Jan 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I LOVE this place!!!
