Hotel des Congrès

Summary: a nice hotel to stay, with bad access/location for the price.

On the 2nd night: Woke up at 00:21 and spent more than an hour bcs of a very bad smell from fire-smoke outside. Met other guests from 3rd and 2nd floor complaining the same problem. A local said it was bcs of fire made by unhoused people to keep their body warm. Reception/security was looking for the fire source but didn‘t find anything. The most annoying part is that they can‘t turn on the fan or offer a portable fan at least to make a fresh air flows. The Staff asked to move that night but it was too much to move our stuffs at 2am. The next day we ask to move to the 5th floor (the highest), bcs it was offered by the Night-Shift Staff but this other Staff hesitant that it'll solve the problem. By the time we go outside, we immediately see the smoke coming out from the abandoned "shorcut" – see more explanation at the bottom – Only after showing him video of the smoke facing right towards our rooms, this Staff gave us new room.

Found other person talking the same in the Google review-section here: smoke-problem in the review section. Make sure you went through the worst comment before deciding to stay. We stayed 3nights, and the 2nd night was a nightmare.

Location is confusing due to terraces and underpass. A shortcut is available but it is very shady: lamp turns on when someone walks in but there's lots of broken bottles, building materials from renovation, dirty. Suggestion: please do something with the "shortcut" as this is the crux of the problem.
