Solid choice, great staff

Quirky room and quirky hotel (in a good way, if that’s your thing!). Staff are incredibly friendly. The hotel location can’t be beat - it was close to everything we wanted to see. Breakfast was fine - met the need. The bed and pillows were better here than in other hotels we stayed at in Türkiye! I’d stay here again.

The location of the hotel was fantastic. The hotel staff were very friendly. The room was a little small but the ambience and the rest made up for it
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel is adequate. The staff is nice and welcoming, the cleaning is fine. The bathroom facilities are very outdated and on the verge of not working. The bathroom door in our room couldn't close which was not ideal. The wifi did not reach our room, so if you are on it you have to sit in the lobby. The breakfast was very sparse and not worth the 10€ per person, per day. All in all the hotel is completely adequate, it needs some updates and repairs, but the stay was fine overall.

Highly recommend

Our room had a lovely charm to it. It was smaller than I expected, but it perfectly fit our needs! The central location made it easy to walk and use public transport. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful, and it saved us a lot of money to add it on. The hotel has an associated restaurant, which I assume is why the food was so good. Rooms are serviced every day (no do not disturb option).
