Muy mal
Pros:

El personal

Cons:

Muy sucio, sábanas muy viejas, no tiene nada que ver con las fotos.
No se podía cerrar desde adentro, tenia que dormir con un ojo abierto x las dudas que entre alguien.
Se escuchaban todos los ruidos.
Booking Tendrían q tener una mejor inspección de los anuncios.
De ir a pasar un buen momento uno la termina pasando muy mal

Excellent location, friendly staff, and a wonderful stay – we would happily come back again.
Pros:

The location was excellent, very close to all the main tourist attractions and public transport. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, cafes, and everything you might need nearby. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist us with anything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was good, with enough variety to start the day pleasantly. We felt very welcome throughout our stay and truly enjoyed our time here.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything met our expectations.

Pros:

シルケジ繁華街の中にあること

Cons:

ただの連泊なのに、もっといい部屋があるからと
二日目の部屋を隣のホテルに移動させられた
その移動も日中を指定され、朝洗濯ができなかった
指定した移動時間になっても新しい部屋に入れず
35分待たされた

私の名前「力(日本語で読みはつとむ)」の文字を「リー」と読まないのはおかしいから、チェックインを認められないと、中途半端な知識で難癖をつけられた

早くチェックインしたいのに、チェックイン手続きに取りかからず、まずはコーヒーを飲めと隣のコーヒー屋にコーヒーを注文しにいき、さらに雑談を始めた

電気ケトルに水が溜まったままで
水垢がびっしりついていた

朝食レストランが隣のホテルである上に
オープン時間から支度を始めるので
料理が揃うまでに30分かかった

トイレが狭すぎ、洗面台が支障して
便器にまっすぐ座れない


ホテルサイトで高評価を得たサービスをこなさないと評価が下がると、勘違いしているようだ

Leider Katastrophe ! Nicht zu empfehlen !
Pros:

Der Mann im Empfang (Ismail) war sehr hilfsbereit und Freundlich. Leider ist dies das einzige.

Cons:

Sehr altes Hotel mit einem viel zu kleinen Zimmer. Kein Platz, um einen Koffer zu öffnen. WC hat eine „selbstgemachte“ Tür. Haare (trotz „Reinigung“) und mind. 2x Käfer gefunden. Auf Nachfrage wurde uns ein etwas größeres Zimmer gegeben, was nach Kanalisation gestunken hat, sodass man dort die Luft anhalten musste. Für das neue Zimmer wurden 50€ Aufpreis gefordert. In diesem Zimmer war leider auch ein Käfer vorhanden, sodass wir nochmal in ein anderes Zimmer gegangen sind.
Von großen Mengen an Staub und kaputten Türrahmen bis Käfern war leider alles dabei.
Leider eine totale Katastrophe und auf keinen Fall zu empfehlen!
