Tek güzel şey personeller çok güleryüz ve ilgililer. Patron bakımsız bırakmış oteli yatırım yapmamış. Depo gibi bir oda verdiler. Tv çalışmıyor, perde çalışmıyor, kalorifer çok sıcak kapatamıyorsun çevirme aparatı bozuk, loş ışık olması gereken ışık parlak havasız bir oda cam açamıyorsun çok ses var köprüden gelen havasız kalıyorsun. Çok rahatsız oldum. Personele tavsiyem kıymetlerini bilen bir tesis bulsunlar.

Konakladığımız bu süreç bizim için son derece keyifli geçti. Otelde sıcak ve samim bir atmosfer vardı.Özellikle otel sabinin ve çalışanların misafirperverliği ve güler yüzleri sıcak bir ortam oluşturdu. Kendinizi iyi hissettiriyor.Bu tür bir hizmet, konaklamayı sadece fiziksel bir deneyim olmaktan çıkarıp, gerçek bir ev hissi yaratıyor. Otelde Konaklama sürecinde kendimizi rahat ve güvende hissettik. Bu güzel deneyim için tüm ekibe teşekkür ediyoruz. Gelecek seyahatimizde mutlaka tekrar tercih edeceğimiz bir yer olacak.

Otel çok tepe de arabanız yoksa asla kalmayın. Yokuş tırmanıyorsunuz bayağı bi yol kenarından. Otel de sıcak su yoktu soğuk suyla duş aldık,duşa kabin içerisinde böcek vardı kendim temizledim,duvarların boyası dökülmüş haldeydi,ütü istedik milattan kalma bir ütüydü ve ütü masası yoktu yatak üzerinde bozuk ütüyle ütü yaptık,oda içerisinde ki dolapta hiç bir soğuk içeçek yoktu sadece iki adet sıcak su vardı,odalarda ses yalıtımı bulunmuyor yan tarafınızda ki kişilerin sesini olduğu gibi duyuyorsunuz.

Big Time, NOISE PROBLEM

Zero sound isolation, if you are on the roadside or staying in one of the below rooms, you are not going to sleep at all. Also, because of the economic crises in Turkey, I believe they rented their rooms to people for a month or more We had 6 people staying above us... NIGHTMARE !!!

Otel çok kirli. The otel is very dirty

Otelin konumu güzel yerde fakat otel çok pisti. Kaldıgım odanın banyosu korkunc pis lavobanın giderleri kıllarla dolu tokabmıs duş almak ımkansızdı. Yatak çarsafları değiştirilmemiş lekeli ve pisti. Yerler zaten toz içindeydi. Tek iyi yanı resepsiyonda ki calısan arkadas yardımcı olmaya calıstım ama ımkansızlık dahilin de o da yardımcı olamadı. Yastık kılıfları berbattı. 5.8 puan verilmiş ama ınanın değeri 3.-3,2 aralıgında. Şiddetle tavsiye etmiyorum istanbul gibi bi metropolde ve istambul un göbeğin de rezalet bir işletme.. The location of the hotel is very nice. The hotel is very very dirty.
