The staff were excellent, the property was centrally located and close to most places. The main issue I had with the property was the smell from the bathroom. It seems that there is a waste waste problem which makes the bathroom have a foul smell. Vehicle access at certain times of the day is a problem. If the smell is fixed, the hotel will receive an excellent rating.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and were truly impressed with the overall experience. Everything was excellent – the rooms were very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The staff were outstanding: extremely friendly, kind, and always willing to help. We would especially like to thank Songül and Melek from the room service team, who were incredibly kind and supportive during our stay. We are also very grateful to Mr. Serkan Gülcicek at the reception, who helped us a lot with all our questions and requests. A very special thanks goes to the hotel manager, Ms. Wassila, who provided exceptional support and helped us resolve an issue caused by a mistake during our booking in the best possible way. We were also very satisfied with the breakfast. There was a great variety of options, and the quality of the food was excellent. The only small point for improvement would be the seating management during breakfast time. On several occasions, we noticed that a single guest was occupying a table meant for four people. It might be helpful if the restaurant staff could guide guests more effectively to optimize seating for everyone. The hotel is also perfectly located, with excellent access to public transportation, which made getting around very easy for us. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone, especially families.

Bij aankomst geen welkomstgevoel, er wordt een formulier op de tafel gegooid en geroepen dat we het moeten tekenen. Kamer bleek niet schoon te zijn, tevens was kamer kleiner dan de beschrijving. Veel stof in de kamer, ramen zagen er erg vuil en vettig uit. Tegels van de badkamer zaten onder de spetters van tandpasta of wat dan ook. Beide gemeld bij de receptie, waarna een medewerker (man van /- 50 jaar oud) direct in de verdediging schiet en aangeeft dat de kamer schoon is. Gevraagd of hij een andere taal spreekt dan Engels, gaf aan “only English”. Echter staat in de omschrijving van het hotel dat er Engels, Duits, Spaans, Russisch wordt gesproken. Klopt dus voor geen meter. Enkele dagen later troffen we dezelfde medewerker, Russisch sprekend met iemand aan. Niet te geloven dat hiervoor hierover gelogen is. Een zeer onprettige man, respectloos en totaal niet service-gericht. Schreeuwt continu tegen klanten, roept dan “go to another hotel”. In 12 dagen tijd is 3 keer het beddengoed verwisseld. Zogenaamd schone handdoeken echter met een vieze geur. In de omschrijving van het hotel staat dagelijks schoonmaak, echter is er geen enkele dag schoongemaakt m.u.v. het verwisselen van het beddengoed drie keer. Water in de badkamer wordt pas na een kwartier warm. Zeer gehorige kamer en zeer slechte WiFi verbinding. 1400 euro weggegooid geld, slechtste hotel wat er bestaat met de slechtste service. Is de absoluut de 4 sterren niet waard.
