Merkezde, tren istasyonuna 15-20 dakika
Pros:

Check out sonrası bavulumuzu otelde bırakabildik ve şehri uçuş saatine kadar rahatça gezdik sağolsunlar. Ve iletişim anlamında yardımseverdiler.

Cons:

Odalarda kılima yoktu ama odamız serindi. Vantilatör var odalarda.

Pros:

L’hotel è in una posizione fantastica. Le stanze sono accettabili

Cons:

La mancanza di aria condizionata in un momento così caldo è un serio drawback. Al momento del checkout la persona che c’era in reception scortese e poco pratica.

Pros:

Könnyen megközelíthető tömegközlekedéssel, mégis egy nyugalmas mellékutca. Kedves a személyzet, felszerletség is kiváló. Külön jól esett a bekészített víz a szobában.

Cons:

A galambok az ablaknál. Reggelente elég hangosak, és kissé zavaróak voltak.

Too hot to sleep.
Pros:

Clean. Good location.
Excellent breakfast.

Cons:

Too hot to be comfortable. Fans only circulated hot air. Had to sleep under a damp towel. A disappointment for the price.

Pros:

Rent och snyggt och trevlig personal! 😍

Cons:

Alldeles för varmt då det var värmebölja när vi va här. ACn funkade inte och golvfläkten gjorde tyvärr ingen större skillnad för temperaturen.

No era lo que esperaba
Pros:

La ubicación, la vista de la habitación y su amplitud. La limpieza estuvo bien!

Cons:

El terrible calor en la habitación que hacía difícil disfrutar estar ahí, no vi que el lugar no tiene aire acondicionado y de verdad hace mucha falta. Tuve que solicitar otro abanico para lograr dormir mejor la tercer noche. En el último piso siempre habían coches con ropa sucia en el pasillo y el desayuno nada rico, las frutas no se veían nada frescas.
