Camere foarte mici....
Pros:

Zona era foarte buna , ai imediat o gramada de terase si magazine si bazaruri in zona , aveai si piscina si interioara si pe acoperis, sauna , la pret am prins foarte bine in jur de 200 lei pe noapte 3 persoane si cu mic dejun inclus i-am spart

Cons:

Paturile sunt mici si incomode , camerele sunt mici , prin baie se face multa apa , noaptea se lasa o caldura foarte mare si nu poti lasa geamul deschis deoarece este in tavan si intra o gramada de lumina dimineata , nici cu aerul conditionat nu poti sa dormi deoarece nu se regleaza sa nu mai bage asa rece si per total nu a fost asa ok la camera 611....

Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut, aber die Randbedingungen im Hotel waren enttäuschend.
Pros:

Das Zimmer und das Bad waren groß.
Frühstück war in Ordnung

Cons:

Sauberkeit war nicht so gut. Am Bettbezug war altes Blut zu erkennen.
Eine Steckdose war aus der Wand gerissen.
Die Fernbedienung hatte keine Batterien.
Deutsche Fernsehkanäle waren nicht verfügbar (kein Signal), konnte auch nicht repariert werden.
Wir hatten Halbpension gebucht. Das Abendessen bestand aus nur einem so genannten Fix-Menü. Es gab keine Auswahl!

Exeptional!!
Pros:

We had an excellent stay at this hotel. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived until our departure. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing.

A special thank you to Mr. Fırat, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. He was always available to assist us with a smile and made us feel genuinely valued as guests.

The entire staff was friendly and helpful, and the service exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again in the future.

Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Déçu
Pros:

L’accueil chaleureux du personnel et le petit déjeuner

Cons:

La literie, les serviettes de toilettes élimées et trouées ce n’est pas parce que c’est une chambre économique que tout les équipements doivent être usés je séjourne à l’orka depuis 2019 on m’a toujours surclassé mais là tout est à l’économie la lumière de la Clim qui éclaire la chambre impossible de dormir la literie est usé pas confortable du tout un petit couvre-lit minuscule à se partager à deux une couette pareil déchirée et grisâtre
