You pay a heavy price for the location
The hotel is one of the more well known in St. Dennis. We took a taxi to the hotel, we however got a shuttle (free) back to the airport so it can be worth checking in advance if they can pick you up at the airport.
Staff was friendly and some quite fluent in English which was helpful.
The room was simple but effective. Only problem was the showerhead which was semi-broken and producing an incredible noise when showering.
Breakfast is expensive at 15€ per person, so it's worth stacking up some food and put in in your room fridge.
The main problem with this hotel is its location far from the center which without a rental car is a nightmare. Although there are buses and the hotel provide a free shuttle 3-4 times a day, they all stop around 7 pm. And the restaurants in town do not serve dinner until 7.30 pm. That means you're stuck having to eat at the hotel's restaurant unless you're willing to pay 20-25€ for a taxi if eating in the town center.
So my advice is to make a booking for a rental car early (before you arrive in Reunion) because they were all fully booked(!) the week we were there, and without it, getting around in Reunion will be very painful.
