My stay at this hotel was wonderful, marked by incredible assistance from the staff, particularly Baris and Yacin, which truly enhanced my experience. The location was perfect for exploring the city, making it easy to access public transportation and visit historical sites. The breakfast was tasty, although I would have appreciated a bit more variety. The only downside was that the water pressure in the showers was occasionally inconsistent, but overall, I felt very comfortable and welcomed during my stay.
