Repeated praise for friendly, helpful and welcoming staff (owner highlighted for exceptional hospitality, Fati named for standout service) — service is a clear strength.
Location

Some useful amenities noted (parking, private beach), but guests reported missing or problematic items (no kettle, broken elevator, lack of mosquito screens) which weakens the amenities score.

Pros:

The only remotely positive thing about this hotel is the view. Unfortunately, even that comes with a catch: do not open the window unless you are prepared for the possibility that it won’t close again. If that happens, enjoy listening to the amusement park nearby all night long.

The bathroom is another experience in itself. There is little to no water pressure, making an actual shower practically impossible. If you were hoping to wash your hair, good luck.

At night, people from the street apparently use the hotel reception as a place to sleep and use the toilet. Not exactly the kind of “hospitality” you expect when paying to stay at a hotel.

Communication is also an adventure. There seems to be only one person who actually speaks English, so you have to be lucky enough to find him. And when you do, be prepared for an argument — for example, over whether coffee is included in the breakfast buffet.

Speaking of breakfast: they claim to offer a breakfast buffet, but calling it a “buffet” is extremely generous. The selection is poor, and on some days there isn’t even a breakfast buffet at all.

All in all, this hotel somehow manages to turn basic things like taking a shower, getting breakfast and speaking to the staff into challenges.

PÅ DANSK:

Absolut forfærdelig service. Det eneste positive ved hotellet er udsigten, men du kan desværre ikke åbne vinduet, for du risikerer at det ikke kan lukke igen og derfor skal lytte til det tivoli, der ligger i nærheden.
Der er ingen - eller meget lidt - kraft i vandstrålen på badeværelset, så et bad er ikke en mulighed.
Der ligger folk fra gaden og sover og bruger toilettet i receptionen om natten.
Der er én, der snakker engelsk, så du shel være heldig at fange ham - men hav i mente at han vil diskutere - blandt andet om kaffe er inkluderet i den morgenmadsbuffet, de postulerer at have, men er så ringe og nogle dage endda ikke-eksisterende.

Consigliato
Pros:

La posizione centralissima per tutte le attrazioni e la spiaggia. Camera super comfort, molto ampia moderna e pulita. Il personale molto cordiale e disponibile, anche nel fornire consigli e aiuto per gli spostamenti, che senza un' auto privata sono piuttosto complicati.

Pros:

Otelin konumu güzeldi aksam sahil eğlencelerine yakındı cevresinde bircok market vardı çalışanlar cok yardımseverdi her sorumuza içtenlikle yanıt verdiler o yönden hicbir sıkıntımız olmadi

Cons:

Asansörün bakıma ihtiyacı var cok korkutucu sesler çıkarıyor ve cok yavaş, WiFi bazen çekmiyor ,kahvaltısı cok çeşitli ama bize hitap etmedi minibarda en azından 1 şişe su olabilirdi ve 2 adet kahve ikram olarak odaya koyulabilirdi.
