I would stay again....

The hotel is nice, clean, and feels new. It’s conveniently located close to the Grand Bazaar, and the tram stop is within walking distance. There are many food places nearby as well. The staff is incredibly friendly, and I would give them all 5 stars. However, I have a couple of suggestions: • The breakfast could benefit from a bit more variety. • The 4-bed room should ideally have 4 proper beds instead of 3 beds and a sofa bed, as the sofa bed was quite uncomfortable

Sakın ekonomi sınıf oda almayın, yoksa size yangın çıkışında merdiven altında 3 metrekarelik penceresiz bir hücre verirler, paranızı da geri alamazsınız, üstelik hotels uygulaması da otelden taraf tutup size hiçbir şekilde yardımcı olmaz! Hotels uygulamasından da bu otelden de uzak durun, paranıza yazık olmasın.

Hôtel bien situé et honnête .

C’est un hôtel tout proche du grand bazar , à qqs minutes de marche de celui ci et de l arrêt de tram. Il est situé dans une rue passante mais peu bruyante . Il est à deux minutes d’une rue de restaurants . Le personnel est tout simplement adorable et accueillant. La chambre est un peu petite mais avec deux belles fenêtres et vue sur une église . La chambre est belle et bien meublée avec beaucoup de rangements. Le petit déjeuner est simple ; suffisant . C’est un hôtel à prix modeste et on en a pour son argent .

Loud noise, small rooms, they will charge extra mo

Hotel initially said you do not have booking and took 3 hours to figure out, they charged extra 150 Euros by saying that hotels.com did not charge you right amount for the number of people in your booking so either you pay or else we wont let you checkin , Hotel did not have any service to help with luggage. My room said it has partial sea view which they said they will not give partial sea view room unless i pay them extra. Locker never worked and hot water wouldn't come Its a scam to make more money. I will have to talk to hotels.com customer service to grt refunds

Amazing place with very professional customer care.
