We chose this hotel after reading the tripadvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. This is a very comfortable hotel in an excellent location with a very helpful staff. What more could you want? Breakfast,room,restaurant,staff.. everything was just great! Hopefully, we will be able to stay at this hotel in the future! Thank you for everything Mr.Ozan.
