Categories

Cleanliness
7.4
Mixed reports: some guests praised clean hallways and rooms, but several reviews reported issues (moldy smell on entry, damp bedding, lingering tobacco odor and inconsistent in-room housekeeping).
Service
10
Consistently praised: staff repeatedly described as very friendly, helpful and accommodating (luggage storage, organised baggage transfer, attentive reception). One communication issue was linked to guest-side internet problems rather than staff attitude.
Location
10
Excellent and repeatedly highlighted: central, walking distance to stations and attractions, close to shops and markets; many guests noted very convenient placement for exploring the city.
Room Quality
8.2
Generally comfortable but small: rooms described as compact yet acceptable, with very good AC in some rooms; negatives include loud/old refrigerators, noisy bathroom fans and occasional awkward bathroom fixtures.
Amenities
7.6
Limited/uneven: pleasant touches like complimentary drinks in the lobby, but notable problems with Wi‑Fi reliability, no hotel breakfast option for some, and some in-room equipment (fridge, fan) reported noisy or malfunctioning.
Value for Money
8.9
Perceived as good value by many guests: comfortable stay for the price, helpful staff services at reasonable cost (e.g., baggage transfer); a few service shortfalls slightly lower perceived value for some.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Limited offering but some positives: complimentary flavored water in the lobby appreciated; however the hotel lacks an on-site breakfast option for some guests (nearby coffee shop available).
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall positive guest experience: strong location and service make stays pleasant despite occasional cleanliness or in-room amenity issues; many guests recommended or described their stay as very good.

Probably won't be staying here a third time.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable and we had two pillows each which was nice.

Cons:

The shower was terrible; the pressure was inconsistent, the shower head itself was facing the wall and the shower curtain did nothing to contain the water. Additionally, the water temperature would be warm one second and cold (or scorching) the next.

Room cleaning was disappointing; our first night at the hotel, we found a needle in the bathroom. When we requested room cleaning, our shower supplies were not filled up, the floor had remaining grime from previous stays. Our house slippers were thrown away after one use (a waste!).

Upon our arrival, we were only then told that the hotel was undergoing construction. Luckily, we didn't hear it BUT we were given no pre-warning/email in advance.

Lastly, the lady (not sure of her name), at the front desk didn't seem very friendly and approachable. When we spoke to her, she answered us in a judgemental tone (it felt like what we were saying was wrong).

Fantastic location and good value for money
Pros:

Very friendly staff, great location, spacious rooms and comfortable bed. Overall really good value for money.

Cons:

The beds only had thick quilts, no thinner sheet underneath, which made it quite hot to sleep. I wasn’t able to lower the air conditioner temperature below 24C as there was the risk of it leaking water.

Basic and affordable
Pros:

Good location, easy to find and some amenities. We were able to store luggage whilst awaiting our flight home which was also useful and staff were friendly

Cons:

It’s very basic and not what I would consider a 4 star hotel, though it was in the middle of refurbishment when we stayed. Rooms and hotel lobby was quite small but almost expected in a city centre.

Despite facing the issues, overall the stay is still good and nice and comfort
Pros:

Easy and near to the shopping street

Cons:

The aircon will auto stop and restart again. Surprise some of the counter service staff don’t speak or understand English, hence got some communication issue

Pros:

Konumu oldukça iyiydi. Yürüyerek merkezi yere gidebiliyorsunuz. İşlek bir caddede bulunuyordu. Biz havaalanına geçeceğimiz için ulaşım kolay olan bir yer olsun istemiştik. Metroyla rahatlıkla geçebiliyorsunuz. Check in saatinden çok önce gitmememize rağmen odaya giriş verdiler. Çok memnun kaldık. Girişte soğuk içecek alanı ve oturma yerleri vardı.
