Η τοποθεσία καλή, αλλά μέτρια καθαριότητα.
Pros:

Η τοποθεσία του ξενοδοχείου ήταν πραγματικά πολύ καλή!

Cons:

Το πάτωμα είχε λίγες τρίχες και πίσω από την πόρτα ένα σβησμένο τσιγάρο. Όταν ζητήσαμε να μας το καθαρίσουν μας είπαν ότι το room service δεν ήταν διαθέσιμο εκείνη τη στιγμή και ήρθε ο ρεσεψιονίστ και το πήρε απλά με μία χαρτοπετσέτα. Τελικά μας το καθάρισαν την επόμενη ημέρα.

Pros:

Location, Staff, Breakfast and view !

Cons:

Room didn’t have an AC that seemed to work. There was a thermostat but only fan/heat options tho I couldn’t actually feel a fan. Minor as it was wet n not hot out when we were there but still.

特に、夜中のチェックイン時に対応してくれた方が、とても丁寧でよかった。

・立地も最高だった。

Cons:

朝食部屋のテーブルがいつ行っても うっすら汚れてたのは気になった。

Pros:

You can hear everything everywhere. The neighbors in the rooms are Turkish, but rude. They were speaking super loundly at the door two nights in a row. We were cheated with a new hotel room, and the price is not worth it at all. The breakfast is meager.
