Passable mais pas à refaire
Pros:

La situation de l’hôtel est impeccable et le petit déjeuner bien les lits étaient confortable mais y‘avais pas de réfrigérateur dans notre chambre comme indiqué sur les photos et la chambre était très très petite par rapport à la chambre de trois personnes

Cons:

Les responsables de hôtel n’étaient pas aimables et ne parlaient pas autres langues sauf la langue turque. Pas de nettoyage de chambre les derniers jours et pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre

Overall there were concerns about space & cleanliness in the facility.
Pros:

Location is good.

Cons:

The tap water in the facility had a strong odor and an oily feel which made it very uncomfortable for use either for shower or hand washing, the room was extremely small, and we has a bit concern about overall cleanness of the facility.

Pros:

Lokalita je úžasná, hotel je echt turecký. Nepočítejte s evropskými normami,tam jde o funkčnost, a s tím nebyl problém. Personál byl moc milý. Topení neskutečně moc hřálo, takže když jsme zmokli, za hodinu všechno uschlo. V okolí hotelu byl klid, jen občas zazněla lodní houkačka. Ani muezín nebyl moc slyšet. Blízko na loď, vlak i tramvaj. 👍🏼

Cons:

Snídaně slabší. Jeden druh paštikového salámu, káva nic moc, k pití nějaká šťáva. Nám to nevadilo, najedli jsme se ve městě. Hlady neumřete. 👍🏼

Bine
Pros:

Locația, prețul, personalul

Cons:

Curățenia (am stat 5 nopți, timp in care nu s-a făcut deloc curat in camera și nu s-au schimbat prosoapele), defecțiuni la chiuveta din baie și micul dejun care poate fi mai diversificat.
