6.6/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is perfect for sightseeing and shopping, but the noise from the bar underneath and issues with the AC affected my sleep quality. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my overall experience enjoyable despite the room drawbacks.

Rooms

The rooms, while functional and of good size, lack privacy and are extremely noisy due to the street traffic. Double glass or better soundproofing would greatly enhance the stay.

The dining experience left much to be desired with a simple and repetitive breakfast served without much variety. It was merely okay, nothing special.

7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms, although not as spacious as in the pictures, were always clean and tidy. However, they needed some serious maintenance. The service from the staff, especially Serhat at the reception, was incredibly kind and helpful, making my stay more enjoyable. The location was perfect, close to everything, but for light sleepers, the noise from loud music could be disruptive. The dining options were limited but satisfactory for an early morning meal. Overall, a decent hotel with its ups and downs.
