Pros:

Großartiges, hilfsbereites, freundliches und auch humorvolles Personal. Nur wenige Schritte ins Herz der Metropole. Außergewöhnliches Frühstück, am letzten Tag wegen der frühen Abreise ein ausgiebiges Lunchpaket. Über das Hotel gebuchtes Shuttleservice vom und zum Flughafen und die gebuchten Führungen und Ausflüge haben perfekt geklappt.

City break
Pros:

We had a short city break at this lovely hotel. Great value. Clean and very friendly staff.

We were early arrivals. However Sefa sent us off for breakfast and our room was ready once we had finished. Breakfast was an incredible selection.

Thank you Sefa - a true gentleman.

We will be back.
