The hotel is located in a very central area, close to the metro and tram stations, making it convenient for getting around the city. The rooms are nice, clean, comfortable, and charming, but the lack of some functionality like a soap holder in the shower room can be a minor inconvenience. The dining experience offers delicious food, and the service is friendly and accommodating, especially Taner who was ultra-friendly and made the stay pleasant for both short and long-term guests.

The hotel had spacious rooms but had a lingering smell as if someone had been smoking there for a long time. The service was excellent with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was superb, near metro and tram stations, perfect for exploring the city, although the property is on a downhill street. The dining options were varied and delicious, with very helpful reception staff. The facilities were good overall.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location, with easy access to tram, metro, and bus stations nearby. It's a great place for a quick rest, but may feel a bit tight for teenagers sharing a room. The service provided by the hotel staff, especially Mr Necmi the general Manager, was welcoming and polite. The location is ideal for first-time travelers, close to various tourist attractions and shops. The breakfast offered a decent variety, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is a great choice for families with three children seeking a spa experience with good Turkish bath and massage at the restaurant offering delicious food. The rooms, however, may not be ideal for teenagers due to limited space and proximity to the noisy cleaners cupboard.
