Pros:

Room was spacious, staff kind, facility beautiful, laundry service was fairly priced and prompt

Cons:

Room is very hot with no fan or ventilation. We tried to have breakfast there our first morning before a tour. It's said to open at 7am. Sat and waiting to be sat from 7-7:15 without any acknowledgement or anything. We finally just left and went to a delicious coffeehouse.

Dobre miejsce na krótki pobyt
Pros:

Doskonała lokalizacja, ale było przez to trochę głośno. Przestrzenne pokoje, ale było w nich trochę ciemno. Restauracja na miejscu, smaczne jedzenie ale wysokie ceny. Bardzo ciekawa atmosfera klasztoru robiła duże wrażenie. W pobliżu dużo sklepów i restauracji.

Cons:

Późna godzina zameldowania, byliśmy i 14 i musieliśmy czekać do 15.

Regular
Pros:

La ubicación, los espacios y la limpieza

Cons:

Que no respetan ni en las mañanas ni en las noches, los empleados sonarán todo, hablan recio desde bien temprano! Sería prudente, buscar un método que la cocina y áreas de limpieza no estén atrás de las habitaciones

Bien pero no coincide con las fotos.
Pros:

Ubicación y el personal.

Cons:

Las fotos no coinciden con el deterioro real del lugar, además el baño es súper pequeño y no hay donde colocar los productos de aseo personal. Entiendo que es una edificación muy antigua, pero si, el baño necesita mejoras. Se escucha claramente todo lo que hablan o hacen los huéspedes de las habitaciones de la par. Todo esto lo compensa el buen trato y amabilidad del personal y en realidad la cama estaba bien.

Pros:

Ubicación.

Cons:

Habitación con poco mantenimiento. Mal pintada. Techo con mancha humedad - filtración. Ventana de baño pésimo estado. Minirefri y estufa eléctrica viejos e inservibles. Refundidas dentro de la habitación. No estaban dentro del servicio contratado, pero dan mala impresión. La señal de wifi: pésima.

Pros:

The location could not be better—step outside in the morning for the view of the volcano through the famous arch. The staff is super friendly, the food is good and the property is well -maintained. You are taking a step back in history. There are both rooms in the original convent, and more modern ones—-specify what you want according to your tastes.
