Pros:

Cazarea aceasta este aproape de obiective, transport in comun, magazine, restaurante si supermarketuri. Locul este curat, asternuturile proaspete, terasa de la ultimul etaj este un plus. Un loc bun in care sa te odihnesti dupa o zi plina prin oras.

Cons:

Camerele cu tavanul la un nivel cam jos pentru cineva cu o inaltime de peste 180. Datul cu capul in lustre era la ordinea zilei🤪

Muy satisfecha
Pros:

La verdad que el amfitrión se porte muy bien, super agradable, hablaba bastante inglés y lo que me sorprendió nos dio una botella de agua sin ningún requisito. Si que es verdad que solo quiere que pagemos el apartamento con efectivo, pero él nos lo facilito todo para poder pagarlo. La ubicación es excelente, lo único que hay bastante cuesta, pero vale la pena porque es centrico.

Cons:

En la zona hay bastante cuestas, y por la noche da mucho que pensar, pero nada del otro mundo. Por lo demás todo perfecto.

Pros:

Personale disponibile e reception aperta h 24. Ci hanno dato la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli nella hall il che non è da sottovalutare. Dopo due giorni ci hanno pulito la stanza e ci hanno cambiato gli asciugamani. Stanza un po’ piccola ma fedele alle foto. Nonostante il cantiere di fronte alla struttura non abbiamo avvertito alcun rumore. Posizione abbastanza centrale.

Gute Lage und super für mehrere Personen nutzbar
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist von der Lage her top. Restaurants sind fussläufig unter 1 Minute erreichbar. Auch sonst hat man gute Verkehrsanbindungen. Wir waren mit 7 Personen da, dafür war sie top ausgestattet. Jeder hatte quasi ein Zimmer samt WC mit Dusche für sich.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung in der Küche war nicht so gut. Die Unterkunft ist sehr einfach aber ausreichend ausgestattet.

Pros:

Struttura in posizione centrale, il nostro era un appartamento suddiviso a sua volta in tre mini appartamenti abbastanza comodi. Gli infissi semi nuovi garantiscono silenzio. Letti comodi, bagno funzionale con spazi ottimizzati.

Cons:

Tetti un po' bassi e scale strette (ma c'è un comodo ascensore).

A total nightmare
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

To start from the beginning, this place is super-duper ancient. The door was made of old wood and was barely holding together. The hotel is tucked away in some alleys with absolutely no view whatsoever—wherever you looked, all you saw was another dilapidated building. To make matters worse, there was a construction site right across from us, and they worked until late, sometimes even until 10 PM...
In the room, the TV was not a Smart TV, so you couldn't connect to watch Netflix; they only had about 10 cable channels, all in Turkish. On the nightstand, there was a lamp that I couldn't even turn on because there wasn't a single outlet anywhere near it... I guess it was just there for decor, to match the one on the other side of the bed (which actually worked).
The room was so poorly insulated that we could hear people talking two hallways away. The air conditioning was broken—even on the highest setting, the temperature in the room remained exactly the same after 15 minutes.
The bathroom was a total disaster. The shower head was broken, so I had to unscrew it and wash myself using just the hose because water wouldn't go through the nozzle. After I somehow managed to shower, I noticed a plastic, louvered window right inside the shower cabin. It was purely for show, because even when you closed it, the cold air would just blow right through.
To be fair, basic cleaning was okay—towels were changed, the bed was made, and the trash was taken out—but there are just way too many technical and maintenance flaws in this hotel...

Pros:

La stanza era grande, luminosa e pulita. La posizione comoda per visitare i luoghi storici della città.

Cons:

Seashore and nightlife
Pros:

Staff were very helpful. Room had a small kitchenette so could.make tea.and cook simple meals as needed.

Cons:

The corridor to the room was a bit awkward with stairs up to the room so slightly dark to navigate. Otherwise it was great.
