And in the concrete case of the Palmer house, the price of the hotel was not worth to pay for, in my opinion. Rooms very old and dark, not even having wardrobe to hang up the clothes :-(, in addition to the construction issues. Yes, it was a very nice hotel (but I don't really mind that, because I come there to work and keep doing my regular daily tasks), and had an excellent gym, which I really appreciate, however, the one in Prague was much better in my opinion (including a much better and bigger gym).
