I liked the location of the place and breakfast was reasonably good. The room photos on the website are deceiving giving a perspective that these are big rooms. The rooms are extremely small, and the bathroom is tiny, you can barely move around.

Great location, not very peaceful

Hotel location was great and bedrooms were good, all the basics were provided. The walls are very thin so you could hear lots of people moving around, particularly the loud cleaners who would chat away very loudly in the mornings on their phones making it impossible to lie-in.

Had some maintenance issues. Toilet was not flushing. No mattress pads on the bed. The curtains were not hanging correctly. We had a nice room after upgrade. The initial room was too tiny for 2 people to be comfortable.. Very central to all of the tourist areas and mosques.

Would love to come back

I really loved this hotel and it's top of my list if I ever come back to this city. The location so close to the metro that it's pretty much 2 minutes to the station, which is amazing. You can hop on the B1 line and head to the airports from here very easily. We took the metro to come and leave. But be warned that this entrance requires an elevator to get into the subway so it can get crowded. There's a proper entrance 5 minutes away. The room we had was for 5 people so it was fairly large and has 3 twins and a queen. Very comfortable facilities in the room such as safe, refrigerator, AC, chargers and plugs, closet space, etc. Room seemed also to be somewhat soundproofed, which was fantastic considering we were close to the street. Others commented about small room size but I was in a room for 5 which was great. Kid friendly in that sense. Service and Breakfast were really top notch and something to really write about! I went to a few different hotels in the city and this was by far the best. Great service and a variety of different eating options.

Otel konum olarak çok iyi, gezilecek yerlere ve restorantlara rahatlıkla ulaşabilirsiniz. Sakin ve sessiz bir otel memnun kaldık. Tek negatif bulduğum temizliğin hijyen olarak bi üstmseviye de olmasını isterdim, özellikle lavabo bölümünde. Öneririm rahatlıkla gelip kalınabilir. Kahvaltı da gayet yeterli ve manzarası çok güzel.
