Not being bitter, just being honest.
Pros:

The location is strategic, that is all about it

Cons:

The room is dusty and old, the toilet flush did not work, the sheets and my pillows full of stains and mouldy. The smells of the room is awful. Not so many variation of breakfast and stale breads. Even the coffee taste horrible.

Pros:

Die Lage ist einfach unschlagbar gut. Das Personal angefangen andere Rezeption dem Hotelpage, Zimmer, Personal und Küchenpersonal einfach freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

Wir hatten ein relativ großes, 21 m², Zimmer gebucht. Das Bett war super gemütlich das Badezimmer modern gefliest. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Nagyon jó hotel ha a nagyobb szobát figlalják!
Pros:

Nagyon jó helyen van, kedves a személyzet és jó a reggeli

Cons:

A kicsi szoba nagyon kényelmetlen, nem lehet elférni benne. A nagyobb szobákkal nem volt gond

Ei missään tapauksessa yli 8 hotelli, ehkä 5-6
Pros:

Sijainti oli hyvä.

Cons:

Huone oli pieni, jossa oli vaatekaappi ja kampauspöytä, mutta ei yhtään tuolia. erilliset sängyt olivat kapeat 80cm, patja oli kova ei pystynyt nukkumaan kyljellään. Myös tyyny oli kova ja pyytäessäni lisätyynyä, sanottiin että vain yksi tyyny per asiakas. Huone oli hyvin kulunut, samoin kylpyhuone. Lavuaarin hanasta tuli yleensä vain kylmää vettä ja yhtenä päivänä vettä ei tullut ollenkaan. Aamuisin tuli vain kylmää vettä joten hiustenpesu ei onnistunut. Bideesuihkua ei ollut. Pyyhkeet olivat kuluneita. Toisen kerroksen ikkuna oli kadulle, jossa oli paljon ravintoloita ja meteliä vaikka autoilla siinä ei voinut ajaa. Ikkunassa ei ollut pimennysverhot, vain ohut läpinäkyvä verho ja talo suoraan vastapäätä. Aamiainen oli ainoastaan turkkilainen jossa oli muutama erilainen juusto ja yksi makkaralaatu. Vain keitettyjä munia, hedelmänä oli mandariini, omena ja päärynä. Leipävalikoima pieni, vain pieniä patongin paloja.
