Pros:

La localización.

Cons:

Qué la mañana final, salíamos antes de que abrieran el horario de desayuno y le pedimos si nos podían dejar algo frío preparado para llevar y nos dijeron que no. Es la primera vez que me sucede una cosa así. No cuesta nada,teniendo incluido el desayuno y sabiendo que por horarios de vuelos no te da tiempo a desayunar, meter en una bolsa un plátano y un yogurt. Eso sí, excursiones y visitas guiadas nos ofrecieron todas.

Good hotel
Pros:

Fast checkin and checkout.
We were offered complementary tea coffee juice on arrival. There was even a big bottle of water in the room plus nescafe and tea.
Very clean, towels were daily changed, trash was emptied every day and beds made daily.
We were in a triple room and the beds and pillows were very comfortable.
The AC worked even if the electricity card was removed - big plus.
Pretty quiet at night, well rested!
Good area for tourists, a lot of shops, markets and objectives around. Tram at 5 min maximum.
Breakfast served at the rooftop of the hotel, very nice.

Cons:

The breakfast was the same each day. This was not a problem for 4 -5 days, but if you were to sleep in late and go at 9.45 for example (max hour was at 10.30), the omlette, simit or juices were out and not refilled.

Kedvező ár-érték arányú hotel, közel minden fontos felkeresendő helyhez.
Pros:

Központi fekvés, közel minden fontos nevezetesség és a bazár is. Bőséges és választékos reggeli volt, korai hazautazásunkkor saját összeállítású reggels dobozt kaptunk.

Cons:

Az ágymatrac puha, nem ilyenhez vagyunk szokva, de azért sikerült jól aludni rajta.
