En general, de forma positiva.

El horario y poca flexibilidad en la atencion de las comidas en refufio Domo Frances, ademàs de la poca amabilidad de alguno de los trabajadores. Recordarle al personal de los refugios que deben tener una buena llegada a los turistas. SObre todo en el refugio francés.
