krisek's travel recommendations

The €86 per night was not a terrible value for money, but nothing really was on Reunion. Poor but central, so it has its benefits, including lower number of taxi trips. Simple, but clean rooms with tiled floors, air-con, and excruciatingly white walls with absolutely no art on them were just fine. The beds nicely firm, comfortable and large. The bed linen was crisp and the bathroom was well scrubbed, although it started to show its age. The white towels were fresh and fluffy, but the toiletries were incredibly basic: two minute bars of soap enough for a couple of washes each, 2inch by 2 inch sachets of dubious shampoo and shower gel. Apart from toilet roll, that was it. For €86 a night, one would expect slightly more than that. The room had a large corner desk, which was also used a stand for the 32 inch flat HDTV. Staff spoke basic English.
