Pros:

Konumu harika, toplu tasima çok rahat. Terminalin yanında olması sebebi ile seçtim. Yükünüz yoksa yuruyerek varsa 15 numara ile ulaşım mümkün. Merkez istasyondan direkt otobus ile de ulaşım var. Odamiz aile odası idi ve çok rahatti. Otel açık bir avm ile yanyana. Özetle kısa veya uzun konaklama için tercih edilebilir. Aile ile de gayet rahat konaklanabiliyor.

It was okay for one night and simply having a place to sleep. However, I would not stay here again. The hotel clearly ne
Pros:

The price was very fair for two rooms and one night, which is probably the main and only positive point of this stay.

Cons:

For a “4-star” hotel, it is definitely below standard.
There was a dirty pillowcase, greasy handprints on the drawer door, and a strange dried yellow liquid in the bathroom. Overall, there were clear signs of wear and tear on the furniture (see pictures).

Good hotel with some challenges
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms exceptionally clean , room was clean on daily basis .

Cons:

The location was little far from the center , its about an hour walk or bus 21 to Central Station which is very quick few stops . Breakfast you can purchase pay as you go no prebooking is required, but there is no big menu , more of a buffet you can help yourself.
The one thing that I really didn't like was the fact that the hotel had a security breach and I received an message asking to verify my card , little that I know , it was a scam . Later email from the hotel was send informing not to provide any information as it a scam . I lots money as I didn't see the email in time . Unfortunately no money was refunded either from my card or the hotel . The hotel wasn't interested, booking.com didn't even got back to me. Im still trying to resolve this but its been an nightmare.
Nevertheless the hotel was nice enough

Muy buena y cómoda estadía
Pros:

El alojamiento está muy bien, muy buenas instalaciones, limpias
Prácticamente self check in, el personal muy bien.
Tienes la parada de bus y tran muy cerca y en 20 minutos estás en la estación central.
A 20 minutos del aeropuerto en coche.
El barrio no conocí, pero aparentaba ser tranquilo y residencial.
Muy buena estadía

Absolutely fabulous, would return
Pros:

Lovely room, super comfy beds meant a great nights sleep every night, fabulous bathroom with waterfall shower, fridge and AC which were handy on hot days and warm nights, super buffet breakfast and really helpful staff. Hotel is a tram/bus ride away from the centre so was a quieter environment. Would definitely return
