Pros:

פקידת הקבלה הייתה נחמדה

Cons:

לא באו לקראתנו בשום דבר, תחושה של חוסר מאמץ. למרות שהאמנתי לכנותה של הפקידה שאין הדברים בסמכותה.

Pros:

Location was tops, room was very pleasant.

Cons:

The 700 ils surety we were obliged to pay at the desk. They said it would be returned. On the other hand the room had many expensive adornments so I can see the reason. However it's a wait and see if the refund materialises.

Pros:

A charming hotel, quiet and very convenient. Breakfast was magnificent and lasted me all day. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Re the town. It should be noted that between Fri night and Saturday evening basically the whole town shut down. It's hard to do much except walk around and go for swim if you don't have a car. Food either very expensive or convenience store during this time.

Excellent emplacement pour visiter Tibériade et ses alentours.
Pros:

L’emplacement, le côté historique, la vue sur le lac.

Cons:

L’accueil est vraiment fantastique!
Le personnel du petit déjeuner est moins sympa.
Attention, le parking est public et payant.
Amende à 8:20 du matin et paiement via des applis locales.

טעות שלא תחזור
Cons:

החלטה דווקנית של המלון שלא הסכים להזיז לנו תאריך למרות שיכל תוך ניצול העובדה שעברנו טת המועד לביטול בטעות
בנוסף חוייבנו פעמיים (!!!!) ולקח למלון מספר ימים לבטל את אחד החיובים.
