The stay in the hotel was unsuccessful. The cooling in the condition is very bad. The room is very small. The breakfast is quite acceptable. The location of the hotel is very good. But I don't recommend it.

Overall a great stay. The hotel is nice and in a convenience location, staff is helpful and courteous. I didn’t get to use the Hamam and gym but it looked nice. My only complaint is that the blankets on the bed are small so for the double it’s difficult to share.

Exceptional service, such kind staff and cleaners. You’re very well taken care of. Very clean, excellent and safe location a few min walk from the Mosques and bazaar as well as a main strip with restaurants, shops, salons, Shisha lounges etc. definitely try the Ortaklar restaurant across the road it’s amazing especially the hummus! Breakfast could have more variety, rooms are a little small but cosy, gym is basic, and can get noisy as it’s so central. Overall loved the stay though and the benefits far outweigh the criticism.

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Very close to historic old city, main attractions within walking distance, many options for coffee, dining. Just know, standard rooms are pretty small, which is fine if you are coming for just a short visit. We came for 2 weeks and had to upgrade to a larger room. Also know, all rooms have a very small closet and no drawers to put clothes away (we had to use third bed in our room for that), which is ok for a short stay. Bathrooms were kind of small, but comfy with good hot shower, and water pressure, no problems with plumbing at all. Rooms and hotel are pretty clean, and cleaning ladies were wonderful and very sweet! Breakfast buffet was pretty good, nice coffee machine with all different options, eggs, cereal, salads, cheeses and local cold cuts, fruits, breads and pastries, nuts, deserts, juices. Hotel has a small, basic gym, small pool, sauna, and a steam room that we used. Overall, pleasant stay at the hotel, thank you!

I wouldn’t book this place smells like a sewage rooms very old needs updating, also Expedia are useless no help when you want to change as I wasn’t happy with the hotel so raised it due to my wife being pregnant but Expedia said here we will help but did not do anything and hotel stuff didn’t really care. Being a frequent flyer this was the first time I booked with them and will be last time and hands on heart worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

The hotel staff are kind & friendly. The hotel itself needs some updating to compete with nearby properties set at this price point. There is no restaurant, the spa facilities were not working, while there is a hammam, massage facilities etc, there is no spa attendants. The internet was continually cutting out, & as a business traveler, this was not ideal. I was also given a twin room, which as an solo adult traveler, not the most comfortable. The room itself was very dark, especially the bathroom.

Cost effective with a tiny pool and gym. Breakfast was poor and took too long serving each person individually. No pastries or fresh honey dripping from a honey comb like other hotels. Front desk limited in English speakers and unable to understand much. Room was cleaned however the glasses and cups were just turned over with dry tea and dirt bits easily visible. Location was amazing. Worth a stay for the price but don’t expect too much from the hotel.

Gorgeous Hotel... Except for the Rooms...
The hotel is gorgeous. The restaurant is beautiful and delicious. The hamam and all of the other facilities are wonderful. It's a wonderful hotel.. Except for the rooms, which seem to be held over from the 1970s. Many Turkish hotels suffer this condition. Gorgeous hotels, outdated rooms. So I can't recommend it for the price listed, there are other better options, even on the exact same block. But it's not awful, just not as good as it should be. With a room renovation, it would be amazing. Everything else is so good. Shout-out also to the manager who chased us to the sidewalk after we checked out and said "Give us a 5-star review", as a demand, not a question, with the meanest look possible... Or... what? What happens exactly if we don't?! So anyway, no, angry manager lady, it's not a 5 star review. And threatening us won't get you one. But it's a nice hotel and the other service staff were wonderful and very helpful.
