helpful staffjuliette balconybusy breakfastalternative experience
The staff were very helpful and honest. They gave us the option of two rooms and that was appreciated. i picked a smaller room that had a view of the front street and a juliette balcony. It was nice. the hotel is very close to main attractions and lots of restaurants.
breakfast had lots of options though it was very busy both times i went to eat. the free sauna was available though we opted for a more traditional turkish bath experience nearby.

Okay, But Some Issues

unsafe gymcold sauna
The gym was a joke. Tiny and definitely unsafe. I attempted a workout once, a mistake I won't repeat. The sauna also presented problems. It was often not turned on. I find it questionable that the hotel claims to have services it doesn't actually provide. The claim of a gym, sauna, restaurant, and bar should mean a functioning gym, a hot sauna, and a staffed restaurant and bar.

Solid Choice for a City Stay

central locationhelpful staffdiverse selection
I appreciated the central location near key attractions it made sightseeing easy. The staff was consistently helpful providing directions and assistance. I found the breakfast selection quite diverse with many turkish options and fresh snacks.
The gym is quite small and some equipment needs maintenance it was not a primary concern for me but could be for some guests.

cheap coffeelimited equipment
The breakfast was mediocre, i must report. i expect more quality. the coffee tasted cheap and watered down, and the pastries seemed stale. the gym was also a letdown. It had very limited equipment and felt cramped. the treadmill was out of order, and the weights were disorganized. this is unacceptable for a hotel that claims to be four-star.
