Pros:

The staff were very polite and did their best. Comfy beds. Nice historical exhibit about the premises which was interesting to read. Excellent location near the center of the Old City.

Cons:

The handicapped access was limited.. the side door with no steps was only open part of the time. I understand- for security reasons.. but to gain access we needed to run around and up a floor to the main desk to call someone.
There should be a better way.
Food was ok.. Not amazing.
Grimy corners in bathrooms...easily remedied by cleaning crew if given proper training..Broken tiles in many places.. The whole place needs a face-lift :-(
5 star prices for a 3.5 star facility.

קסם של מקום
Pros:

אותנטיות של המקום העיצוב האווירה פשוט קסם של מקום

Cons:

ארוחת בוקר קצת דלילה קצב ניקוי השולחנות שסיימו לאכול סביב איטי מאד לא כל כך נעים לשבת לאכול כאשר סביב שולחנות לא נקיים וכן עריכת שולחנות חדשים לוקה בחסר אנחנו נאלצנו לארגן לעצמנו שולחן
