HORRIBLE
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This place was so disgusting that I refused to even proceed to check in.
The place has a horrible odour.
The staircase was so steep it made it difficult for travellers to carry their luggage
The room was filthy
The room was so small
The furniture was dirty and requires replacing
The walls were covered in dirty hand prints
There were what looked like fieces on the walls

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
I wasted my money & had to rebook into an accommodation that was more suitable & clean.

Pros:

Inhabitable

Cons:

Una pocilga más que un hotel.
Al llegar las escaleras con alfombra tienen olor a animal muerto.
La habitación era un horno y no tenían ni un ventilador de pie para ofrecer.
La ducha compartida estaba tapada desde quien sabe cuándo.
El colchón tenía un agujero en el centro que te hundias.
Me fui una noche antes porque era inhabitable

Konum süper ve öneriyorum.
Pros:

Murat abi inanılmaz şeker bir insandı. Her konuda yardımcı oldu. Tesisin konumu inanılmaz iyi. Daha iyi
bir konum sanırım yok.

Cons:

Odalar biraz daha geniş olabilirdi. Parkeler biraz eskidiği için değişilmesi gerekir.

Friendly staff, great location
Pros:

We were accommodated at very short notice as we had to leave our other hotel. The owner was very calm and thorough and all the staff were very friendly. Very pleased for the price and great location.

Cons:

A kettle and bits to make tea and coffee would've been ideal
