Genel olarak iyi ama çok ince hesaplar yapılıyor bu da insanı rahatsız ediyor. Bir kez daha kalmam.
Pros:

Odalar be konumu güzeldi

Cons:

Dubleks odada alt katta tuvalet yoktu. Tuvalet için her gece 3 defa üst kata çıktım. Temizlik 2 günde bir az. Tuvalet kâğıdı tekrar istemek zorunda kaldım. Kahvaltıda biten ürünü getirmediler. Gazsız su ilk gün vardı sonra olmadı. Girişteki su ve çay kahve servisi saat 21 de kapatılıyor. Eski yorumlarda saat 23 e kadar yazılmış.
