Pros:

loistava aamiainen, ihana kattoterassi. erityisen hyvää oli se, että terassille pääsi oleskelemaan itsenäisesti milloin halusi. henkilökunta oli todella mukavaa. sijainti meren äärellä nähtävyyksien lähellä mutta silti rauhaisalla alueella oli aivan täydellinen.

Pros:

The fact that this is my third time back here speaks for itself. Safety, comfort and a warm, friendly atmosphere are extremely important to me, and this hotel exceeds all expectations. Everything was spot on – the rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff really stood out for their exceptional kindness and professionalism. I would particularly like to thank Bekir, Ilyas, Hanife :), Erika and the whole team. In the months since my last stay, the hotel has made significant progress, introducing improvements and carrying out renovations. I will cherish the memories of this latest stay and would recommend this hotel without hesitation. And to top it all off, the terrace offers a magnificent view of the Sea of Marmara. Thank you :) Greetings from Ewa and Monika
