Reviews and Ratings
The hotel location is fantastic, within walking distance to top attractions, but the cleanliness of the rooms, especially the carpets, is a letdown. The service was excellent, particularly the guest relations officer, who was cooperative. The dining experience was disappointing due to high prices and limited options. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite being dusty in some areas, were overall clean and well-kept although there was a pervasive damp smell due to unsuccessful reconstruction attempts. The hotel staff was unhelpful in providing an alternative room. The location was convenient with some access issues, offering proximity to major landmarks and transportation hubs but needing significant improvements. The dining experience was decent with a good spread but could use some variety. However, the facilities were lacking in some areas.
The hotel is conveniently located near major landmarks and offers easy access to transportation. The rooms are small and uncomfortable, and some maintenance is needed. The service was a bit slow but friendly. The dining options were average, and limited choices made us seek meals elsewhere. The location is the best feature of this hotel.
The hotel's location is excellent, perfect for exploring the old town and attractions. While the rooms were rather tight and in need of maintenance, the service provided by Emre and Yuksel was top-notch. The dining options were limited, but the hotel's facilities were satisfactory.
Our stay had its ups and downs. The rooms were not what we expected initially, but we got a complimentary night due to the inconvenience. The thin walls made for a resonant environment. The service was a mix of pushy sales and genuinely helpful staff. The location was convenient for exploring the city, although the dining options left something to be desired.
The hotel had some drawbacks like small, dark rooms with a bad smell and noise issues, but we managed to get another room to escape the inconvenience. However, the hotel lacks proper ventilation and sunlight despite claiming to be an atrium hotel. The street noise was bothersome and forced us to move to a higher floor. The service experience was below expectations, with delays in attending to guests and issues with cleanliness and maintenance. Despite these flaws, the location was superb for sightseeing near major attractions.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was very convenient, but the lack of noise insulation in the rooms was a downside. The service had its highlights but fell short in some areas. The dining options were average, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with decent rooms, a great view from the balcony, and good cleanliness, although the price could have been better. The service was a mixed experience with some staff going above and beyond but also encountering language barriers and errors in orders. The location was convenient for exploring the old city attractions, with only minor issues accessing the hotel due to road closures. The dining options were satisfactory with room for improvement in the variety of hot food. Overall, a satisfactory experience considering the value for money.
