Convenient and affordable!
Super convenient location and nice hotel. Despite being in the heart of Besitkas, this is on a quiet street where most restaurants are closed by dinner time so I had no trouble sleeping. Easy to walk to everything including the ferry. Great price too! My only complaints are that they wouldn't give an extra pillow and the motion sensor lights in the hall turn off too quickly. Overall great place though!

İdare edere yakın
Odalar eskimiş, temizlik konusunda problemler var. Daha iyi temizlik yapılabilir. Battaniyeler nevresim içinde değildi, garip. Banyo havalandırması ve kokusu kötüydü, küflenmiş gibi. Yine de kalınabilecek bir yer, ortalamanın bir tık altı.

Ucuz ve uygun seçenek
Yeri itibariyle konaklamaya uygun bir otel. Yatak ve oda konforu aramayın. Birkaç gecelik ucuz bir seçenek.

Tekrar kalmayı düşünmüyorum
Duş havluları lekeliydi. Otelden ziyade kiralık oda diyebiliriz. Tek avantajı ise bu kadar gürültülü bir lokasyonda kahvaltıcılar sokağında olduğu için akşam sessiz olması.

Vasatın altında
Odaya giriş saatinden yaklaşık 4 saat daha geç girmemize rağmen, çok ağır sigara kokusu vardı, saha sonradan kokunun yatağa ve yastıklara da sindiğini farkettik. Tek gece kalacağımız için günü dışarıda geçirdik ve pencereyi açık bırakmamıza rağmen koku çıkmamıştı. Ayrıca yarısından fazlası kullanılmış tuvalet kağıdı bırakılmıştı yalnızca. Bir daha tercih edeceğimi sanmıyorum.
