One of the best things about this hotel is the generous room size. For a small extra fee, we were upgraded to a room at the front of the building with a balcony that overlooked a park-like area across the road, instead of another building. We were just a few blocks from the ocean and decent restaurants. Personally, I liked the older-style furnishings (and very comfy bed!) but the bathroom could do with a refresh. However, everything worked and that's ultimately what you want in a bathroom! Excellent soundproofing. We were just above the lobby but didn't hear anything. Service was good and most reception staff seemed to have an understanding of English, especially if you spoke slowly and clearly. Meal tip: breakfast is NOT included and is 10 euros. Save your $$ and have a perfectly fine breakfast for 10 Turkish lira just a couple of blocks away. Photo is the view of the room.
