The place was OK but it's a bit expensive for what it really is. The staff doesn't really speak english. The breakfast is just OK, not a continental.

Excelente estancia. Muy cerca de todos los puntos principales. A unos metros está una estación de tranvía. El hotel sencillo pero bonito, el desayuno muy rico y abundante.

Attenti al conto
Pros:

Alla fine ho chiesto un late checkout (3 ore in più) e chiesto quanto sarebbe costato. Non mi hanno voluto informare dicendo che avrebbero chiesto che fosse gratuito alla direzione. Tuttavia, all’uscita hanno fatto pagare l’80% di un giorno pieno. Non mi è sembrato serio questo atteggiamento.

Pros:

Otel temizlik anlamında gerçekten çok iyi fakat restaurat çok pahalı.
Tek kişilik odalar çok küçük ve arka kısıma bakıyor.
kahvaltısıda çok iyi
Genel anlamda lokasyon ve iş seyahatleri için çok iyi ben tekrar tercih edicem fakat bu sefer ön tarafa bakan büyük odalarda....

Pros:

Good location.
However, do not trust them with tours, etc from the staff of this hotel. Also first and fourth floors were renovated. Second floor and third floors were in poor condition.

Pros:

Our stay wasnt that good as our room had no lights. We had to use the bathroom lights. Informed reception and nothing was done. On the description it says there will be bottles of cold water and an electric kettle in the room for teas and coffee but nothing was there. Dissapointed
