Reviews for Il Monastero
Review 1:On the other hand the place was not clean and appropriate to the price. Overall the rooms and the hotel overall was not cleaned properly. Wifi was horrible, it was almost impossible to write and email or do anything at all.
Review 2:The pool was big,clean and very nice. Also the place where the hotel is situated was brilliant as it was close to many beaches.
Review 3:Very hot room! Not pleasant to eat breakfast outside because of the wasps... Maybe hotel should try to find a solution?
Review 4:Very relaxing, 'zen' hotel! Friendly staff Good food
Review 5:Bit isolated - nowhere else nearby to hang out. Room was dark and gloomy. Good do with a refurb and some bright white paint!
Review 6:Lovely pool - very friendly staff - good food, reasonably priced
Review 7:The owner needs to be more outgoing and friendlier with his guests.
Review 8:Staff very pleasant and helpful despite speaking very little English. Lovely food at lunchtime/dinner.
Review 9:The staff were either rude or overworked. Our dinner order was wrong and our drinks never arrived on one night. Also they charge you for everything, you would have thought that parking and use of the pool and games room would have been included in the price of the room. Oh no! Oh and don't forget your towel for use around the pool as you'll have to pay 3 euros per day. The rooms were very dark and our air con sounded like a motorbike.
Review 10:Swimming Pool was very nice. The location was very tranquil and serene.
Review 11:wi-fi poor: limited to a ridiculous amount of data 30MB per room per day (available only at the reception - bar zone). After having configured the phone with no traffic data allowed in background and no apps upload, I tried a login/logout without any other navigation but it counted as 12MB consumed! Ants in breakfast cups. Breakfast essentially poor. 1,5€ per person per day to be payed as fee (hidden but mandatory fee)
Review 12:swimming pool
Review 13:they charge almost everything. Be especially careful with menu precies they will suffer at least two overcharges when you pay. Expensive, bad located and dowst worth the money you pay for
Review 14:this is a ideal place for families
Review 15:Good setting. Clean pool, very limited breakfast.Not enough restaurant staff service not good enough complained to reception in the morning not very interested.
Review 16:I didn't like the attitude of the reception staff, they were very surly, also I didn't like being asked to pay up front, but having been there I now understand why! We had to pay 3 euros for using the pool, games room and parking. Why not just add it into the price of the room? I stupidly thought that when you went to a hotel and booked a room that, that was included in the price. There were hidden little extra's everywhere, which in my opinion lacks class. Also the restaurant is so woefully understaffed, the waiters forgot our food and our drinks order. I suppose if the owner didn't insist on having dinner with his friends in the restaurant every night and thought about actually trying to help his overworked staff, then maybe we'd have been served properly. The shower in our room was pokey and the bathroom poorly laid out. There's also inadequate insulation as we could hear every word, sniff and cough of our next door neighbours. Just make sure you don't make any negative comments to reception as you won't like their answers. Food was average and the breakfast lacked variety, they were very slow to replace what had gone. Poor coffee and cheap fruit juice, no excuse!
Review 17:Great swimming pool, really warm and clean. Also a beautiful place to sit to have your breakfast and dinner.
Review 18:Rooms are very dark /no Internet connection / high price / you have to pay extra for everything / too many rules for nothing
Review 19:pool it's beautiful !!!
Review 20:Natural and peaceful location. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Unique character and ambience. Beautiful pool area and grounds. Unlike any other accommodation I've stayed in.
Review 21:Breakfast was dismal....! Shower in our room was so tiny, like standing in a box. Extra cost for pool towels. Loads of wasps at every lunch, couldn't relax and enjoy meals, no effort by staff to alleviate....
Review 22:The staff and management were mostly friendly and helpful. Lovely pool area. Food was nice...
Review 23:You have to pay extra for everything.. New towels in the room, new sheets,... Price/quality zero, For the price you pay you may have new towels every day. Room is very dark.
Review 24:Swimmingpool, Restaurant, Staff
Review 25:The restaurant sometimes struggled to bring all dishes at the approximately the same time.
Review 26:Very helpful staff, good amenities (pool, ping pong, outdoor chess, kicker, snooker) inside the hotel premises, very long beach nearby (15 min walk), possibility to do 2hrs long horse rides early morning or late afternoon. Good restaurant, fairly priced. Nice buffet breakfast - tip: ask an authentic capuccino at the bar instead of using the coffee machine.
Review 27:Rooms are a bit dark, but to be expected with the old style building
Review 28:Fantastic staff, can't do enough for you, very personable. Very relaxing, pool was just what we needed after travelling!
Review 29:You'll need a car as the lovely location is a little bit remote.
Review 30:The friendliness and caring nature of the staff
Review 31:The wi fi was only available in the bar area and was very limited.
Review 32:Swimming pool was lovely and the restaurant staff were great.
Review 33:Lovely staff and very peaceful
Review 34:The smell InThe room was like in a church
Review 35:The location is great The pool is nice The have a sauna and some games
Review 36:Location, climate
Review 37:too many rules, no wifi
Review 38:Nothing is included in what you pay...not even the possibility to use the pool for which an extra 1.50€ per day is demanded at the checkout...the breakfast is shameful: hotdrinks and "juice" are made from powder in a machine...if you want real coffee you have to pay for it! Also the "free spa" is not free, since you have to rent a towel for 3€ per person. About the surroundings: if you dont have a car, there is nothing for you to do here. No restaurants, shops, supermarkets by walking distance. The only way in ir out is a big national road where cars pass with high speed. This obliges you to stay and eat at the hotel if you dont have a car. The quality of the food is shameful. Most food is frozen while its not that far from the coast (1.2km) so at least fish should be fresh, but no.. Food all quite expensive and they charge extra 10% on all you order. Don't look for the river or national park advertised on their website because you won't find them.
Review 39:Staff is friendly and helpful, as long as you are a satisfied customer, but not to be trusted...they provide incomplete bus timetables in order to convince you to use a taxi (of a friend of them) for arrivals or departures early in the morning or at night... Its a quiet place for people travelling through the region by car. For a few nights max.
Review 40:That the water in the pool was very cold. That we had to pay for using the facilities of the hotel. The breakfast was poor.
Review 41:I liked very much the farm, the old-like design, the room, the very friendly staff (I remember Donatella which recomanded us places to visit, thanks her). Very good food, nice restaurant. Friendly, family atmosphere. Very good hotel, I will never forget
Review 42:Hotel felt a bit short staffed, only 2 people waitressing/ running the bar. Bed wasn't the best.
Review 43:Shortish walk to nice beach at Kal E'Moru. Pool area very good. Staff at reception and dinner very friendly/helpful. Plenty of areas around the hotel grounds to relax.
Review 44:Room and whole Hotel was a bit dark although the hotel and all facilities have huge potential!
Review 45:The pool was amazing, very nice for a stop over! Lunch and dinner was good with a reasonable price. Very friendly staff!
Review 46:Extremely friendly and helpful staff, unusual design of the hotel, nearby seasibe and swoimming pool on site. Opportunity to have a horse ride nearby.
Review 47:Outdoor dining was very poorly staffed in the evening + breakfast staff equally. Breakfast was totally inadequate. We felt the hotel had no "personality" apart from reception staff, there was absolutely no atmosphere. Very poor value for money-we felt that costs had been paired down to a minimum-there was not a sense of hotel generosity. Bedrooms very poorly decorated and quite depressing in colour scheme. No sense of any management at this hotel. We would not wish to return.
Review 48:Reception staff were very helpful Pool area lovely and relaxing +availability of exercise machines.
Review 49:- An older, blond reception lady was rude - Rooms were dark and full of ants - The minigolf area was not clean, plants and sand made it impossible to play properly - Extra costs for towels to use in wellness area, we could not take our own towels
Review 50:- Close to the beach - Wonderful pool
Review 51:The breakfast was rather minimal, offering only tea, coffee, a crossaint and sweet bread. The bread was hard and uneatable. Dinner is served poolside, which was OK, but nothing special. The pool is not much to recommend. Lighting throughout the hotel grounds was not very good. Internet service is 3€/100 MB or 5€/200 MB, limited to the bar & reception area.
Review 52:The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Review 53:The range of breakfast are very poor.
Review 54:The swimmingpool is the best part of the hotel. The style is a good idea but the whole hotel would need a refurbishment.
Review 55:Really nothing!
Review 56:As Young Family we were very welcomed and everyone helped us very nicely. Perfect was also the Service of the Room and the Woman you was serving us in the Dining room. All of them were so Kind, so that we miss them! The Swimming pool area is very well done, and all in all it is an marvellous Environment for People the like the Special atmosphere of an wonderful old nice monastery, which was used after ending as monastery as farm. All is well protected.
Review 57:it would have been helpful if there was free wifi throughout the complex. we only discovered on the last day there was a sauna which we would have tried. The chef did his best (they were delicious) but a wider range of vegetarian dishes for starter/mains would have been great on the menu.
Review 58:We loved the location, it was peaceful, excellent staff, rooms very comfortable, food good quality and very reasonably priced, wonderfully close to a fabulous beach. We were there at the start of the season so it was very quiet and perfect for us.
Review 59:They should have a spa in the steam/sauna area, that would be good.
Review 60:The buildings and rooms are wonderful, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.
Review 61:Noisy fridge and poorly insulated for sound from rooms above and adjoining.
Review 62:Tastefully converted buildings surrounding a courtyard. Very peaceful (off-season) and atmospheric setting.
Review 63:Internet is able in a very small area
