Spa

If you're looking for a hotel with a relaxing spa, you might want to reconsider booking at Hôtel du Jardin.

On the other hand, some guests enjoyed the hotel's pool and hot tub, as well as the whirlpool in some rooms.

Ultimately, whether or not you'll like the pool at Hôtel du Jardin is a bit of a gamble.
