Quet location very close to old town, good selection for breakfast and staffed 24 hours with generally obliging staff. I had to make my own bed on arrival, nothing of my room was cleaned the week I stayed, and my room smelt of smoke. I enjoyed it though.

this hotel is not a 4 star hotel, its a 0.5 star

I recently stayed at this hotel and was extremely disappointed with the overall experience. The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. The bedsheets were dirty, and the floors were filthy, which made for a very uncomfortable and unsanitary stay. The lack of attention to hygiene was appalling, and it's clear that the hotel management does not prioritize the well-being of their guests. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable and clean stay. It's unfortunate, as my expectations were not met, and I will not be returning to this establishment in the future.

Oerhört dåligt bemötande av en kille i receptionen, Benjamin Hodžić. Vi fick oerhört litet rum högst upp i hotellet som i princip var så litet att man knappt fick plats 2 personer. När vi påpekade detta blev vi mer eller mindre oförskämt bemötta. Under resten av vistelsen var samma kille oerhört nonchalant och betedde sig inte proffesionellt mot oss som gäster. Tack och lov fick vi byta rum dagen därpå och träffade en fantastiskt trevlig och tillmötesgående man som även han jobbade i receptionen, han hette Kenan och gjorde vår vistelse betydligt mer positiv och angenäm. Frukost personalen var trevliga och tillmötesgående, dom skapade en fin stämning. Det finns ingen hiss i hotellet och ingen erbjöd sig från recensionen att hjälpa oss med vårt bagage speciellt när vi bodde högst upp i hotellet första natten och fick självs släpa våra tunga resväskor många trappor upp utan att vi blev tillfrågade om vi behövde hjälp med våra resväskor...

Çalışanlar güleryüzlü. Sıcak karşılama. Konum çok iyi hemen altınsa başçarşı var market var. Otopark olarak kendi çıkmaz sokaklarını kullanıyorlar sorun değil yer var sokaklar dar tabi ama otopark sorununuz olmaz. Temizlik zayıf Yatakların konforu çok kötü özellikle çocuk yatağının yelleri çıkmış resmen. Buzdolabı yok odalarda havlu eksik ve temiz değil. Aynı şekilde yastıklar ve battaniye de. Temizlik ve ilgi konusu zayıf yani Kahvaltı çok iyi diyemem bence otelin bu yıldızına daha iyi kahvaltı yakışır Bir daha tercih eder miyim sanmıyorum ☺️ Bu arada yatağın altında siyah poşete sarılmış kocaman bişey gördük ilk başta ceset sandık resmen 😅 bu nedir ya alın bence onu odadan
