Helpful and friendly staff in many reviews
Valet car park and generally modern, well-kept facilities
Comfortable pillows and family-friendly features

At least one billing discrepancy reported

Categories

Cleanliness
6.6
Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness, but multiple reviews describe used/unclean linen on arrival, full trash bins, dirty towels and complaints that rooms 'had better days' — overall cleanliness score reduced accordingly.
Service
8.6
Mostly positive: many notes of friendly, helpful and responsive staff and good valet service; some guests reported overly formal or insincere reception behaviour and an unprofessional airport-transfer cash-only policy, but overall service leans positive.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised: described as 'great', 'very convenient', 'a few steps from Kizilay', quiet despite central position and close to many restaurants and nightlife — location is a clear strong point.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed room reports: some guests found rooms comfortable with good pillows, others noted aging rooms, smoking smells (required room change), and bathroom layout/privacy issues (no ventilation, window to sleeping area).
Amenities
8.7
Positive mentions of a rich breakfast buffet, valet car park and generally modern, well-kept facilities; one note about airport transfer policy and lack of receipt slightly detracts but amenities are generally strong.
Value for Money
7.8
Mixed: several guests found good value due to location and breakfast, but complaints include an unexplained extra charge and rooms/cleanliness issues that reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9
Strongly positive overall: many mentions of a very rich breakfast buffet, interesting Turkish offerings, good strong coffee and even bacon — minor notes about personal tea/coffee preferences do not outweigh broad praise.
Overall Experience
9.8
Overall positive stay for many guests due to location, breakfast and helpful staff/valet; however isolated negatives (cleanliness lapses, bathroom privacy, occasional service affectations) are noted. Net guest sentiment is favorable.

Pros:

Konum ve kahvaltı

Cons:

Resepsiyonda çalışanlar neden bu kadar yapmacık bir kibarlık yapıyor anlamıyorum. Bu kurum içi eğitimler çok mu abartılıyor. İşini sevmeyen bir insana ne yapsan boş. Donuk boş bir yüz ifadesi ama kibar cümleler kurmaya çalışıyorlar bence bu görüntü korku filmi karakterleri gibi duruyor. Bir oda vermesi için bu kadar mış gibi yapmaya gerek yok. Ya samimi bir gülüşle karşılayın ya da sadece işinizi yapın. Karşınızdakileri de empati yoksunu sanmayın.

Bis auf Badezimmer, praktisch und gut.
Pros:

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Personal war stets freundlich, hilfsbereit und hat sich um unsere Anliegen gekümmert.
Die Ausstattung des Hotels ist modern und gepflegt. Besonders positiv hervorzuheben sind die bequemen Kissen, die für einen erholsamen Schlaf gesorgt haben.
Auch für Familien mit Kindern ist das Hotel sehr gut geeignet. Das Vale-System hat hervorragend funktioniert und den Aufenthalt zusätzlich komfortabler gemacht.

Cons:

Verbesserungsbedarf gibt es beim Badezimmer. Es verfügt über keine Lüftung und hat ein Fenster zum Schlafbereich, wodurch praktisch keine Privatsphäre gegeben ist. Das empfanden wir als unangenehm.
