8.2/10

My stay at the hotel was quite satisfying overall. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and spacious, but they could have felt a bit more freshly cleaned. The staff provided great service, especially Harun who always had a smile, although it would be beneficial for them to improve their English skills. The location was excellent, surrounded by restaurants and cafes, making it easy to visit major attractions. The dining experience offered a traditional Turkish breakfast with great service, although it was served on a single plate. However, the price for the value could have been better.
