We went the river hotel for 6 nights, we really liked it because everything was clean, and the staff was very friendly, especially the receptionists, the breakfast was very good and there were multiple varieties. Its located near the train station so it was very easy transportation, we will visit again.

Issues from start. First they don't have parking (even though they say there is valet parking) none at all. You have to find parking yourself. I found 15 min walk from hotel for 600 tl. AC is not working. (They changed our room) it wasn't working there either. Bathroom smells bad. Had to keep windows open. Breakfast included but you have to pay extra for omlet. Stayed two nights was terrible. Would not suggest to anyone.

Booked for 3 single bed, on arrival no room were available, looked for new hotel but unfortunately no luck, then we were given a tiny room with 2 beds, I hade to sleep on the floor, you could hardly get in to the shower, it was so small and very old and rusty, very very basic breakfast, the beds were very dirty and old and very uncomfortable, hardly sleep the 4 nights we stayed. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.

River Hotel is a great value. Friendly staff, clean, delicious breakfast buffet, and super convenient location that is close to a lot of public transportation options. The main drawback for me was that even though my room was supposed to be non-smoking, there were so many people smoking everywhere that there was smoke seeping into the room. I had to open my window & air out the room quite regularly. But other than that, it was a great stay.
