    Entrance was hard to find, and upon arrival we had to wait a bit. Neighborhood was less welcoming than hoped, otherwise all fine.

    Great value for the money! Staff was very friendly, extremely welcoming and always supportive. Awesome breakfast. Everything well worth the money. On top, the owner made a very nice gesture for Diwali. Thanks a lot to all staff. :)

    The location is fantastic, close to restaurants and public activities. The breakfast was as good as any hotel. Service was accommodating and helpful. Friday and Saturday nights are noisy from the streets, but that is a by-product of the central location. The staff was always willing to assist with queries and advice, and super helpful and efficient.

    They could have had handsoap and bodywash in the bathroom :)

    We went for one day trip to visit Ile aux cerfs and the host made sure we find the SM lodge to chek in first. He had already organized our trip to the island, thank you so much! He also gave us good recommendation where to dine in evening and we went to Chez Tino which was really good!

    Nothing. Please note that the property is downtown, so traffic noise could be a problem for some, but it wasn't for us.

    I liked the central location, the parking, the huge room and the friendly management and staff. The breakfast was decent as well

    When you reach late night the entire area is dark which is not comfortable and there are lot of stray dogs also in front of the gate.

    Location is excellent. Two ladies at housekeeping they are really hardworking and their hospitality was amazing.

    The parking is a little difficult to get into but with a little practice even that works just fine.

    The room was super large, with a comfy bed and very clean bathroom. The room was also cleaned daily by 2 lovely ladies who were helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was additional for 5€ per day and quite delicious (bread, jam, huge pot of coffee and large plate of fruits). The owner was helpful for any questions I might have and even gave me some Divali cakes in celebration of the holiday.

    Perfect location, it's right in the hub of the community where you can meet locals that offer you great options on adventures and activities! Don't expect to have quiet nights all the time, I got used the sounds and it didnt bother me. My room was comfortable and clean everyday. Bathroom and shower worked well, the place was perfect for what you need when spending all your time outdoors. I was staying alone, and the place was perfectly safe and secure. I especially loved the roof top balcony looking out to sea!
