Così così, va bene in casi di emergenza
Pros:

È molto vicino alla stazione del Metrobus. Costa poco. La stanza era grande e tutto sommato fornita.

Cons:

La stanza puzzava fortemente di fumo e in generale sembrava un po' sporca. La strada che conduce all'ingresso è mezza distrutta e piena di detriti, difficile trascinare una valigia grande. Non c'è il marciapiede e la strada è un cantiere

Pros:

Extremely dirty and run down place. They don’t speak English. It’s the most disgusting place ever. I was on call with Expedia for 4 hours to change out. I couldn’t even stay in the room. Had black mold in shower

Pros:

The location is good: a vibrant neighborhood and there is a metrobus station (Sefakoy) which worked really good, there are always buses running and going all the way to the asian side. The size of the room wasgood

Cons:

When check-in the staff tried to push us to stay in a 4 bed room, when our booking was for two twin rooms.

The shower plastic protection was broken so the water fell over the floor.
