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.

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 ### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Salimata Lindor Jan 2, 2025 ##### Salimata Lindor Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Johann Nov 8, 2024 ##### Johann Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew Oct 3, 2024 ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renata Jan 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I LOVE this place!!!
