Empfehlenswert

Das Hotel ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, das Zimmer war aber sauber, das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Frühstücksbuffet lecker. Die Lage war super, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichbar. Kann ich weiterempfehlen.

Hôtel sympa et bien placé

L’hôtel est très bien placé et le quartier est vraiment sympa si vous êtes amateur de shopping. Le seul bémol concerne le petit dej qui est uniquement salé. Si vous aimer manger de vrai repas pour le petit dej vous serez ravis mais nous aurions apprécié y trouver plus de sucrée et des fruits notamment. Sinon l’hôtel est très bien en soit et le personnel aussi.

Gereksiz yüksek fiyat ve kasvetli odalar

Buradan yaptıiğım rezervasyonu göremediler. 5 10 dk bekledikten sonra saat geç olduğu için kapı müşterisi olarak oda aldım. Fiyatı gece 10 da otele gelen kişi için oldukça pahalı bence (260) lira. Ayrıca ferah bir otel değil. Çalışanlar yabancı değişik bir yerdi. Özellikle sordum odada tarak yada otelde tarar varmı ona göre alacağım diye odada var dediler yoktu.
