We stayed here two nights in room 201 and would definitely come back. The price was amazing and the room was spotless. The room is just as pictured on their website. We had a total of four people and were very comfortable. The staff was friendly and very helpful with directions of places to go and see. You can walk... More

We have spent 4 wonderful nights in this cozy hotel. Most of all, we enjoyed very friendly and utmost helpful staff of the hotel. Every member of staff showed their proficiency in providing any advice and demonstrated deep knowledge about any issue. Our room was very comfortable, large and very well preserved. The room contained the set for tea, coffee,... More

If it wasn't for the excellent hotel staff and management, I would rate this lower. Photos on hotel website look fantastic, but actual quality is low - old furnishings. Hotel is quite noisy, due to elevator humming and doors slamming in the small hallways, and no insulation in walls and ceilings. Room 403 is best, as there's an outdoor patio... More

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would recommend it; however, with a caveat (mentioned at the end) which might not bother other people. Getting to the hotel, we suggest that you use the hotel shuttle service. We checked the practicality of using the metro and then transferring to the T1 tram. The problem lies in getting from Aksary... More

If you wish to return from a day around the city and find that the hotel staff took your belongings and piled them in a plastic bag on the breakfast table to expel you from the hotel because they forgot to extend your reservation (confirmed 12 days...

People's service at the hotel is excellent. My room for 3 was on the 4th floor. It was quite comfortable except the bathroom was quite small but manageable. The neighborhood is nice except that there was heavy construction work on the street. It will be a very welcoming neighborhood after the street work is completed. Hotel is within walking distance...

We stayed at this Hotel to celebrate my 65th birthday. I agree with some of the comments by readers about the situation of the Hotel and the helpful staff. But we moved out on the second night, because the hotel is so small our rooms were situated in both sides of the elevator, making it very noisy, The hotel seems... More
