Reviews
Otherwise, it's a 3: the location (you have to climb up the mountain, the area isn't the prettiest, more like the outskirts).
The staff is excellent.
The shower is very old, the furniture is swollen, either from moisture or there was a flood...
Overall, for 3,000 rubles, it's okay, but I wouldn't stay there again.
The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with a smile. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety of fresh options, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm and welcoming.
I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Turkey. I would definitely stay here again!
Staff were friendly and that’s a only good thing about it
I don’t recommend for couple or elderly
