Convenient and affordable!

Super convenient location and nice hotel. Despite being in the heart of Besitkas, this is on a quiet street where most restaurants are closed by dinner time so I had no trouble sleeping. Easy to walk to everything including the ferry. Great price too! My only complaints are that they wouldn't give an extra pillow and the motion sensor lights in the hall turn off too quickly. Overall great place though!

İdare edere yakın

Odalar eskimiş, temizlik konusunda problemler var. Daha iyi temizlik yapılabilir. Battaniyeler nevresim içinde değildi, garip. Banyo havalandırması ve kokusu kötüydü, küflenmiş gibi. Yine de kalınabilecek bir yer, ortalamanın bir tık altı.

Tekrar kalmayı düşünmüyorum

Duş havluları lekeliydi. Otelden ziyade kiralık oda diyebiliriz. Tek avantajı ise bu kadar gürültülü bir lokasyonda kahvaltıcılar sokağında olduğu için akşam sessiz olması.

Vasatın altında

Odaya giriş saatinden yaklaşık 4 saat daha geç girmemize rağmen, çok ağır sigara kokusu vardı, saha sonradan kokunun yatağa ve yastıklara da sindiğini farkettik. Tek gece kalacağımız için günü dışarıda geçirdik ve pencereyi açık bırakmamıza rağmen koku çıkmamıştı. Ayrıca yarısından fazlası kullanılmış tuvalet kağıdı bırakılmıştı yalnızca. Bir daha tercih edeceğimi sanmıyorum.

Annem ile beraber misafir olduk. Merkezde olduğu için trafik sıkıntısı yaşamadık. Oda gayet temizdi ve gürültü hiç duymadık. Çalışanlar gayet kibar ve anlayışlıydı. Fiyat performans olarak gayet başarılıydı. Bi dahaki seyahatimizde şüphesiz tekrardan kalmayı tercih edeceğimiz bir yer oldu.
