Pros:

Loved the location, friendly staff and breakfast. They even gave us a takeaway breakfast to eat on the train when they realised that we would be missing breakfast on the second day.

Cons:

The room had so many mosquitos. There were also no mirrors except in the bathroom. The upstairs bed was very uncomfortable.

加勒古城一个位置极佳性价比很高的宝藏酒店
Pros:

地理位置非常好，就在古城内去哪里都方便。
酒店提供的早餐不错，很丰盛。
床很舒服，室内配有空调和吊扇。
服务人员热情周到。 酒店旁边还有个中餐馆，吃饭很方便

晚上睡觉时房间空调出来的冷风会吹到头部感觉比较难受。 但这个可能对其它游客不是问题。

Pros:

外觀漂亮

Cons:

房間冷氣漏水嚴重，無法處理。晚上被蚊子咬，房間沒有驅蚊用品。早餐分量不清晰，以致多叫了食物。跟職員需求要咖啡，卻拿來了茶，而好像聽不懂也沒在跟進。職員留意到我們在搬行李下樓梯，卻沒有幫忙。

Kiva hotelli hyvässä paikassa
Pros:

Erinomainen sijainti Gallen vanhassa historiallisessa osassa. Kauniisti remontoitu ja toteutettu hotelli. Hyvä aamiainen. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Cons:

Huoneessa oli safety box jota ei oltu pultattu kiinni mihinkään. Oli pieni ja suht kevyt, olisi helposti lähtenyt jonkun matkaan.
Huonosti tilaa matkalaukuillle. Ainoa paikka oli pitää avoimena lattialla (olimme vain yhden yön joten pidimme tavarat laukussa).

Average
Pros:

Location is great

Cons:

Their card machine had issues and kept on calling us for payment using cash and we agreed but they did not tell is we had to pay by what time. Between sight seeing we were asked to come back and pay before 5PM which was annoying. The room looked good but the fans and ceiling had lot of dust. There were lizards and cockroaches and the reply we got was it won’t harm. There were also multiple power failures and the place does not have a generator back up. The breakfast was just average.
