Pros:

צוות מצויין ושירותי. חדר גדול ומאובזר. מקלחת נקייה וטובה. יש בקבוקי שתיה עם מכונת מים קרים לשירות האורחים. קפה בחדר. ומיקום מנצח. סבבה של מלון.

Cons:

המיטות מעט לא נוחות- משהו ברמת הקושי של המזרונים לא התאים לי- היה רך מידי וקפיצי.

Poor
Pros:

Location, comfortable bed

Cons:

During our stay, the room was affected by significant next-door construction noise as well as constant street traffic noise, which made it difficult to rest comfortably. The rooms are old.

The layout of the room appeared to have been altered with what felt like temporary partition walls to create a bathroom and closet space. The bathroom and closet were extremely cramped, and the partitioned structures made noticeable noise and even slight shaking when opened or closed. Ventilation also seemed compromised in the confined layout.

The closet was so small that it was difficult to access properly, making storage impractical, especially when traveling with a child.

Additionally, I was uncomfortable with the conduct of a staff member who implied that early check-in was contingent upon posting a positive TripAdvisor review. Being asked to leave a favorable review prior to experiencing the stay, and being advised not to mention the check-in process, felt unprofessional.
