8.4/10 Very Good! (223 reviews)

My room smelled very bad. Someone must’ve been smoking and the maintenance manager hadn’t checked the room. The location is excellent but the staff are far less than expected. They should have better personnel. The cleaning lady did a wonderful job and supplied us daily with all of the amenities that they offer. The spa was way below any Turkish standard. We nearly froze while waiting for the steam and foam bath. It was way overpriced and the service terrible. Don’t advise anyone to go there for a Turkish bath

Hotelli on helppo löytää ja siinä on viihtyisä aula sekä aamiaispaikka hotellin kattokerroksessa. Huone oli siisti ja tasokas, sekä myös hiljainen. Ilmastointi tehokas ja helposti säädettävissä. Huoneen tilavuus hyvä, eli ei tule ahdasta. Vuoteet olivat mukavia ja on hienoa, että on tarjolla myös kolmen hengen huoneitakin. Hotellin vieressä on pari hyvää ravintolaa, eli hotelliin saapumisen jälkeen on helppo käydä lounaalla tai illallisella. Hotellin respa oli lopulta joustava, vaikka vahingossa olin varannut varauksen vain yhdelle hengelle. Kaksi henkeä onnistui kuitenkin hyvin. Hotellia on helppo suositella ja hotellin hintakaan ei ole paha, varsinkaan jos kolmen hengen huoneessa jakaa hinnan kolmeen osaan matkaajien kesken.
