Pros:

מיקום טוב מאוד

Cons:

המלון ישן מאוד, החדרים ממש מדכאים ומוזנחים. מיטות לא נוחות בכלל, הכל ישן ומרופט.
הבריכה בעומק 3.5 מטר בעמוקים וברדודים כמעט 2 מטר. לא אטרקטיבי לילדים בכלל. משום מה המלון מדורג 5 כוכבים אבל הוא מרגיש בקושי 3. חייב שיפוץ ורענון דחוף.
בנוסף, המזגנים בחדרים עייפים מאוד, טלויזיות ישנות של פעם (כששאלנו אם יש אפשרות לקבל טלויזיה חכמה אפילו בתוספת תשלום נאמר לנו שע"פ מדיניות המלון אין טלויזיות חכמות בכל המלון) אין שקעים בחדרים בכלל!! בשביל להטעין את הטלפון צריך לנתק שקע של מנורה או טלויזיה. החדרים פשוט ישנים, שטיחים מקיר לקיר וקירות צהובים, נראה שלא עברו שיפוץ מאז שהמלון נבנה.
המחיר ששילמנו לא היה זול בכלל והתמורה כמעט אפסית.

Két szoba, két véglet.
Pros:

2 szobát foglaltunk. Az egyik gyönyörű tágas, szép kilátással. A tetőterasz tökéletes, medence, kert szintén.

Cons:

A másik szoba egy lyuk, egy sötét ablakkal, ami talán egy sötét falra nyílt volna. Ez borzalmas volt. Ár érték arányban abszolút rossz.

Emplacement top pour les visites! Piscine calme!
Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal, la piscine est essentiel pour les moments de forte chaleur en attendant d’aller visitar. La réceptionniste nous a attribué la chambre bien avant l’heure de Check in.

Cons:

Je pense que le service d’un 5 étoiles devrait être plus au petits soins des clients. Le petit déjeuner n’étais pas très varié.

Rude staff, outdated rooms, no more than a 2 star hotel
Pros:

Lobby , location, rooftop and pool are great

Cons:

Staff is rude, rooms are completely outdated. They built this hotel in the 60s and it looks exactly like the 60s still. Staff is rude. After finishing my two 4 Euro waters from the fridge, I went to reception to ask for an additional two waters. Dude laughed and me as if I had asked the most insane question he has ever heard, " we are reception, why would we have water to give you" ... and laughed and scoffed as if it wasnt a valid question. Needless to say they wont give you any additional water and if the rooftop is closed you have to try to go find a store and get your own water. I guess i had different expectations for an alleged " 5 star hotel".
