Pros:

I got a room without a window, which is very unpleasant, and the noise insulation is poor, so you can hear all your neighbors. It's a normal place to stay for a couple of days.

Cons:

A room without a window and a poor breakfast for Turkey

Limited breakfast, very small room, bad smell in the bathroom, and no chair or luggage rack. This hotel was definitely n
Pros:

The only positives were good heating, fast Wi-Fi, and a convenient location.

Cons:

I’m honestly surprised this hotel has such a high rating🤯
We booked a 25 m² room, but it was extremely small — it seems the balcony was included in the size, which is unusable in winter. The room felt incredibly cramped.
The bathroom smelled terrible and had no ventilation😷😷, so we had to open the balcony door to get rid of the odor. I can still remember that bad odor.🤮
There were no hooks or racks in the bathroom. If your towel or clothes got wet, you basically had nowhere to hang them. There wasn’t even a proper place to hang hand towels or bath towels.🤔🤔
There was no luggage rack in the room, so we had to open our suitcase on the floor.
For a double room, there was only one chair! It’s ridiculous. We ended up using the bedside table as a place to sit.
I found a small black insect in the blanket and pillow. I really hope it wasn’t bed bugs or lice. 🪳🪳
Breakfast was very limited, with only one hot item each day. On the first day it was boiled eggs, on the second day fried eggs. The rest was mostly fries, boiled cauliflower, and cold items.
The staff were unfriendly and didn’t even respond to greetings.
This hotel is at the level of a two-star hotel at best. Honestly, I feel misled by the previous reviews and feel like I wasted my money.

Goed zonder ontbijt
Pros:

Kamers zijn schoon. Elke dag worden kamers verschoond nieuwe handdoeken. Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hotel ligt heel gunstig. Centraal je kunt overal bijna te voet heen.

Cons:

ontbijt viel heel erg tegen. volgende keer zou ik dan ook boeken zonder ontbijt. ontbijt is van 07.30 uur tot 10.30 uur en na 10.30 uur kun je ook echt helemaal niks krijgen. nog geen eens een bakje thee op zeggen ze dan. het personeel ruimt in een keer alles op. Verder op heb je een restaurant waar ontbijt voor een klein bedrag (+/-15euro) vele malen beter is,
