Dikkat

İki kişilik tek büyük yataklı oda rezervasyonu yapmıştık. Odayı görünce bi baktık 2 tane tek yataklı oda var. İtiraz ettik, eleman tamam ben halledicem dedi, sonra gitti yatakları birleştirdi dalga geçer gibi. Resepsiyondakiler türk değil paki, yarım yamalak türkçe biliyorlar. Bu yaptığınız aldatmaca, biz böyle yapmadık rezervasyonu diyince de abi ilk gelenlere veriyoruz büyük yatakları gibi bir şey dedi, o ne öyle köşe kapmaca gibi. Temizlik açısından iyi, taksim meydana 3 dakika ama rezervasyon yaparken yatak işini iki kez düşünün derim.

A bit overpriced, but good location

After some issues at the airport, we booked at the very last minute around midnight but the staff was really helpful. We didn't get the room we booked though, and it was all quite pricey for what we got
