2/10 Poor

Hotel à remettre totalement en état et à modernise
Cabines minuscules il ne faut pas être claustrophobe Cuisine commune particulièrement sale Sanitaire en dehors de la chambre

2/10 Poor

Not for solo female travellers
Although my expedia reservation clearly stated 'room', what was available for me was a tent (containing two beds). I arrived too late to go elsewhere. It was disconcerting to hear drunk male tourists stumbling around the tent when I was trying to sleep without being able to lock the door (zipper). The hotel staff were perfectly friendly but nowhere to be found within an hour of checking in. It was an extremely uncomfortable, noisy, and unpleasant night. I expect for groups looking for budget accommodation in a lovely location it might be alright.
