Pros:

Lo mejor una recepcionista. Yesim, muy simpática y agradable. A mí mujer le regaló una pulsera y un pañuelo que había decorado la mujer de la limpieza Mursit.
También nos ayudó con el Transfer de vuelta al aeropuerto hablando en turco con la compañía local.
La ubicación es genial, y aun que estás en el centro, por la noche en las habitaciones no hay ruido de la calle.
