Вежливый и дружелюбный персонал: всегда готовы помочь с любым вопросом. Хорошее расположение (около Тамеля), красивый вид на крыше и балконе. В одноместном номере большая кровать.

Cons:

Зимой довольно холодно, нужно брать теплую одежду с собой или искать обогреватель.

הצוות נחמד ומנסה לעזור. חדר מרווח ומיטה גדולה.

זה לא בתאמל בכלל, צריך ללכת כ10 דקות כדי להגיע לתאמל.
מעבר לכך המים היו קרים במקלחת .
