Pros:

The staff are superb

Cons:

Excellent staff but the facility was not what we thought it would be. The room was incredibly small, no chair, no table, no hot water and no heat from the AC unit.

Pros:

Everything except the bed was good. Location, design and balcony were all good.

Cons:

The bed in room A4 was extremely hard.
It probably was not much different to sleeping on the floor. I was thankful for the stay to be completed and move to another hotel. This was a shame because everything else in the hotel was good.

Miejsce idealne.
Pros:

Piękne miejsce w samym środku historycznego centrum. Okolica cicha i spokojna, rano przed świtem, drogą przed hotelem wędrują mnisi zbierający tradycyjne dary żywności od mieszkańców oraz turystów. Personel wprost idealny! Bardzo życzliwy i pomocny. Pokoje bardzo czyste, dość przestronne i ciche. Łazienka także czysta i duża.

Could be better
Pros:

The location was perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved the old-fashioned windows, the shower was moderately powerful, and the shower room dried out pretty quickly. Free water and fresh fruit in the reception area.

Cons:

One of the lights flickered, so that was always turned off. The small light above the bed didn't work. The little light on the bedside table couldn't be plugged in anywhere else because the fridge had to be plugged in. Our room was A1, and there was a table and chairs just outside where people can and did smoke. The smell came into our room very easily. The bed was rather hard and my pillow was awful.

Prima verblijf maar geen ontbijt
Pros:

Dicht bij het centrum
Schone kamer

Cons:

Ontbijt is inbegrepen. Echter is dit enkel een croissantje en een banaan. Toen we wilden eten was het croissantje ook nog een op.

Decepcionante!
Pros:

A localização é boa, dá pra fazer muita coisa a pé.

Cons:

Infelizmente foi a pior experiência que já tive em um hotel. Se tivesse como avaliar com 0 estrelas, eu faria. Vou resumir:

- Chegamos para o check-in e não havia ninguém na recepção (tivemos que esperar mais de 20 minutos até alguém chegar).

- Pagamos por 3 diárias e avisamos que precisaríamos sair 1 dia antes por conta do nosso transfer. Tentamos ser legais e avisar com antecedência para que o hotel pudesse aproveitar o quarto com novos hóspedes. Poderíamos simplesmente não ter falado nada e saído no meio da tarde do dia anterior, mas avisamos antes de boa fé. Mesmo assim, a dona do hotel se recusou a reembolsar a diária, alegando política do hotel. Ela ainda colocou outra pessoa no lugar, ou seja, não teria nenhum prejuízo se tivesse nos reembolsado, mas se recusou, causando um transtorno absurdo.

- Perguntamos sobre tours locais no momento do check-in e o atendente, totalmente despreparado (filho da proprietária), disse que não havia nenhuma opção. Minutos depois encontramos um catálogo completo na própria recepção.

- O quarto e o banheiro cheiravam a esgoto.

- Durante a noite, os barulhos de encanamento são ensurdecedores; parece que há um vazamento quando alguém toma banho no andar de cima.

- O chuveiro principal do quarto não funcionava, quase todas as saídas estavam entupidas. Só era possível tomar banho com um volume de água aceitável trocando a saída pra ducha auxiliar.

- O café da manhã é praticamente inexistente: croissant, café solúvel e banana. Nem pode ser chamado de café da manhã.

- A proprietária ofereceu um upgrade de quarto para “compensar” a diária não reembolsada. Aceitamos de boa fé (apesar de não ser a melhor solução pra nós), mas no dia seguinte, enquanto estávamos no tour, mexeram em todas as nossas coisas sem permissão, misturaram roupas molhadas com secas e bagunçaram tudo, alegando que tinham que nos mudar de quarto. Mesmo tendo meu WhatsApp, nem se preocupou em avisar ou combinar um horário adequado com antecedência.
