The location was very central. I could easily walk to main attractions. Breakfast included fresh items such as salad and cheese. The breakfast service lady was lovely. SHE provided a Turkish breakfast with tea and juice. I found this quite satisfactory. The staff were always on hand and eager to assist with directions and recommendations.

the staff was VERY attentive. i appreciate how the owner were very good too ensure my satisfaction. airport transfers were arranged, and the hospitality was Really good. i am grateful.

The walls are not soundproof. I could hear street noise. i suggest better sound isolation for light sleepers. earplugs helped block out noise at night.
