Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice, and the breakfast was beautiful, but there was an unpleasant smell in the mornings after 10 am. The service, while friendly and attentive overall, had a hiccup with the manager not accepting payment in local currency and being uncooperative. The location was ideal, close to public transportation and key attractions. The dining options were somewhat limited but delicious. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel had a cozy location close to the metro station and away from the bustling areas. The rooms, although a bit small for the reserved three-bed option, were clean. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff going out of their way to assist. The dining experience, while featuring good variety, was not as diverse and could improve. Overall, a decent stay with a few areas for enhancement.
The hotel is centrally located in a wholesale shopping area, with easy access to public transportation. The rooms, though clean, are tiny and not soundproof. The dining experience offers a rich and tasty Turkish buffet but lacks variety. The service is generally helpful and apologetic despite some inefficiencies.
