Pros:

Рецепция молодцы. Не работали спа и бассейн, решили с соседним отелем и я пользовался. Отдельное спасибо рецепционисту Hasan.

Cons:

Все пришлось просить. И два дня не было уборки. Хотя просьбы выполнялись.

Veldig fornøyd!
Pros:

Vi likte alt med hotellet. Rommene var rene, de vaska hver dag. Personalet var veldig hyggelige og hjalp oss med alt, spesielt Vidad. Fasilitetene var bra og bassenget, sauna og tyrkisk bad var veldig rent og fint. Hotellet er nærme offentlig transport og var veldig sentralt. Frokosten var god og hadde forskjellige utvalg. Dette hotellet burde hatt stjerner. Vi er veldig fornøyd og anbefaler hotellet på det sterkeste!☺️
