Good location and great experience overall
Pros:

First and foremost, the interior design of the lobby is quite unique and beautiful. I also really enjoy the breakfast buffet. They offer a wide variety of food like yoghurt, cheese, and other Turkish food.

Cons:

They do not provide daily amenity like toothbrush, toothpaste, nor comb.

Confortable et très agréable
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner est délicieux en plus d'être généreux. La vue est splendide et le choix entre terrasse ouverte et couverte est très agréable.
La chambre est aménagée et décorée avec élégance. On y est très bien installé. La nuit est calme et la température parfaite. Enfin le personnel est avenant et discret à la fois. C'était très agréable de rentrer à l'hôtel chaque soir. On aurait aimé prolonger le séjour.

Pros:

Hotelul este extraordinar de bine întreținut, iar terasa unde se ia micul-dejun si nu numai oferă o priveliște de vis. S a facut in fiecare zi curatenie si s au schimbat prosoapele, chiar daca nu am solicitat. Micul-dejun este bogat si diversificat.

Pros:

la terrazza è bellissima cosi come la vista delle camere
anche la pulizia è degna di nota La colazione anche è molto buona Insomma tutto bene

Cons:

mi sarebbe piaciuto ricevere piu' indicazioni su come arrivare a piedi nei luoghi di interesse, forse potrebbero creare delle mappe. Io ad esempio non avevo la sim attiva e quindi avevo difficoltà ad utilizzare google map.
