Reviews
The room itself was mid, but the location was nice. However, the staff are too rude and I strongly recommend you don’t choose this hotel.
The beds were comfortable, the bathroom beautiful, the view onto the street excellent for people watching.
We used the stopover option from turkish airline and extended another night. The hotel was quite affordable, and has a good price for the value.
only good thing is that they are economical.
Area is good for sight seeing. We walked to the major historic sites at 10 to 20 mins.
