Pros:

Konumu çok güzeldi. Hem merkeze yakın hem de toplu taşımaya yakın. Temizdi de.

Cons:

Odanızdan her çıkışınızda anahtarı teslim etmenizi istiyorlar, bu güvenlik açısından çok doğru değil çünkü 24 saat resepsiyonda duran olsa da kişiler değişiyor. Örneğin ben odama girmek için döndüğümde resepsiyonda olan kişi beni hiç görmemişti ve sadece oda numaramı söyledim direkt anahtarı bana verdi. Dışardan herhangi biri gelip istediği odayı söyleyip girebilir.

Pros:

Facilities are good, can drop off key at desk which is open 24/7 and then you pick up the key on return instead of holding onto it while out.

Cons:

Windows are very bad at blocking sound. We were up a lot of the night from people not even being that loud. You could hear every conversation from the road practically.
