Pros:

Хареса ми че е в добра локацията за работата която имах

Cons:

Стаята беше Стара... Чаршафи те не много чисти а за четири нощувки камериерка та мина само веднъж... Иначе персоналът беше Усложлив и гостоприемен и усмихнат

1 gece kaldığımdan dert etmedim.
Pros:

Konumu iyi

Cons:

Duş kötü, su içinde kalıyor. Düşme tehlikesi kaçınılmaz. Ben bir kaç defa düşme tehlikesi atlattım. TV var çalışmıyor. Kablo bağlantısı yok. Terlik yok oda da içme suyu yok. Duşta saç kurutma makinasının üstünde toz kalıplaşmış. 2 küçücük pakette duş jeli var. Fakat duşta bunu koyacak bir yer yok. 🙁

Güzel ülke, güzel insanlar ama kısıtlı imkanlar.
Pros:

Konumu çok işime yaradı. İşlerimi kısa zamanda halletmemde etkili oldu. Bu oteli konumundan ve yorumlardan dolayı tercih etmiştim. Fiyatı da makuldü. Bu yazdıklarımdan fiyat ve konum doğru ama ne yazık ki yorumların çoğu doğru değildi. Yada bize denk gelen odalar (2 odamız vardı) öyleydi.

Cons:

Oda fotoğrafları yanıltıcı. Duş maalesef çok kötüydü. Kabin yada küvet yok tuvaletten sadece perde ile ayrılmış durumda. Su giderleri suyu çekmiyor. Tüm banyo su içinde ve birkaç defa düşme tehlikesi atlatarak odaya kadar gelen su ile uğraşmak zorunda kaldım. TV çalışmıyor, odada içme suyu yada mini bar yok, otel tekliği gibi yan malzemeler yok.

Pros:

Локацията ми беше водеща за избора на този хотел.

Cons:

Доста вехто, душ каните бяха толкова амортизирани, че в един момент се чудех дали са чисти, счупени кранове, смесители и държачи за душ. Истината, обаче е, че спално то бельо беше чисто.
