Let’s start with the bright spot: Bruno at check-in was a gem and recommended Café des Officiers, a nearby restaurant that turned out to be a fantastic find. Hats off to him for saving our taste buds!
Our room was as cozy as a shoebox, with a bathroom that seemed to have ambitions of becoming a ballroom. But that was just the beginning of our “hot” experience. Apparently, the A/C had taken a vacation and was MIA. The hotel promised it would be fixed, but our room stayed warmer than a sauna. Their ingenious “solution” was three desk fans, which worked about as well as a beach umbrella in a hurricane.
By 4 a.m., our room was a sweltering 30°C—imagine trying to sleep in a pizza oven while the outside weather was more like a gentle spring day in comparison. We complained more often than a broken record, but the response was always the same: “It’s fixed!” Except it wasn’t. The room temperature had a mind of its own, fluctuating between “uncomfortably warm” and “I’m melting.”
When they offered to split us into separate rooms (which were, of course, unavailable), we decided to cut our losses and leave early for a hotel with actual A/C.
After 3 days of this “hot” mess, we checked out early and moved to a hotel with actual A/C and a room that didn’t double as a closet. And as for breakfast? Save your € and head to Café des Officiers instead, t’s a breakfast win that doesn’t require a fan to enjoy.
