During my xmas stay, I loved the amazing staff at this hotel. They were so humble and cooperative, always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel's location was also a major plus point. It was conveniently situated near tourist attractions, supermarkets, tram stations, and restaurants. Getting around was easy and hassle-free. the spacious and clean hotel room provided a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
One aspect that I disliked was the slow and unreliable internet connection. It kept getting disconnected, making it quite frustrating to stay connected.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, surrounded by shops and restaurants, with the tram station just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel's downtown location made it convenient to visit all the main tourist sites in the city. The rooms were spacious, with super comfortable beds, and were kept sparkling clean. The hotel's facilities were all new and well-maintained. The staff, especially Mr Burak, Mr Emrah, and Mr Yunus, were excellent. They were helpful, accommodating all our requests and providing excellent tips and recommendations for our stay in the city.

The hotel had a great location, making it easy for us to visit the main attractions of the city.
