The location was amazing and the staff super nice

Cons:

It’s dated and feels a bit tired, the plastic flowers and decorations really lower the antique decor that is actually quite nice

Pros:

המקום מאד מאד מיוחד, בתוך מנזר עתיק צופה על נוף נפלא. חדר גדול, מסעדת מלון מעולה שירות טוב מאד

Cons:

החדר עצמו מיושן במובן הלא טוב של המילה: בחדר המקלחת אמבטיה גבוהה עם טוש ידני, מאד מאד לא נגיש ולא מפנק. החשמל בחדר לחלוטין לא. ובן, מה מדליקבמה ואיזה שקעים יופעלו.

מלון מיוחד במיקום יפייפה
Pros:

המבנה מיוחד ויפה, הנוף מהמרפסת מקסים,
האנשים בקבלים נעימים ומנסים לעזור במה שצריך.
שירות מקצועי וטוב במסעדה.

Cons:

האינטרנט בעייתי ומקרטע
קליטה טובה של אינטרנט בטלפון, אבל הוא לא מספיק חזק או לא מתיבר כמו שצריך לעבודה בלפטופ (הבעיה נפתרה על ידי כך שחיברו אותי לרשת אחרת, שיש לה קליטה בלובי, ועבדתי ככה)
