The location was very convenient for getting around. the breakfast offered a decent variety of options. ahmet and haluk were particularly friendly staff. They were always ready to help guests.

The wifi connection was unreliable throughout my stay. the room size was smaller than i anticipated. It restricted movement. the air conditioning made strange noises during the night.

unsweetened options unpleasant odor

The breakfast was varied, but it did not have enough unsweetened options. the juices were overly sweet. The peach juice tasted like iced tea. there was a strong, unpleasant odor, like sewage, sometimes. the plumbing was a bit damaged. The bathroom faucet made noise. i am not sure it is what one would expect from a four-star hotel.
