Still under construction?

Not a 4.5 star hotel, but Expedia won't allow me to enter 3 stars. Pool was freezing, room was Spartan, wifi was $5 each per night, breakfast buffet reminded me of the army, but the coffee was delicious! They are really trying to have a nice hotel here, but there just aren't enough rich tourists visiting Bethlehem these days. Life is tough on this side of the "security fence".

Enttäuschend und viel zu teuer

Das Hotel ist weit weg von 5 Sternen. Es ist jetzt als Reisgruppenhotel in Verwendung. Busse mit pol ische, nigerianischen und rumänischen Reisgruppen verweilten zur gleichen Zeit im Hotel. Es war sehr laut am Gang, die Zimmer sind abgewohnt und es wird kein Kommfort geboten. Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach und billig gehalten. Espresso oder Omlett oder Spiegeleier kosten Extra. Schwimmingpool vorhanden aber 10 Dollar extra zu bezaheln. Alles in Allem kein Hotel in dem man viel Erwarten sollte.

En natt i Palestina

Jag är verkligen inte nöjd med vistelsen. Läget är katastrofalt. Precis utanför en hårt trafikerad gata med förare som tutar hela natten. Glöm stilla promenader. Poolen var avstängd. Airconditionen trasig. Rummet höll 26 grader hela natten. Frukosten var kall och minimal, även äggröran. Undvik stället.

Bra boende

Vi var nästan de enda gästerna som bodde på hotellet, vilket nog beror på säkerhetsläget i Palestina och Israel. Allt fungerade som vi tänkt oss.

호텔 규모는 있으나 전반적인 서비스와 객실 상태가 생각보다 좋지 않았습니다. 아침식사도 그냥 보통이고 직원들은 한가히 한곳에서 놀기만 하네요.
