Excellent Location and Service

convenient location helpful staff
the location is convenient. key attractions were within walking distance. staff was very helpful, especially salih, who answered questions. i had private transportation to the airport arranged through the hotel. the breakfast offered lacked variety, but was still a satisfactory start to the day.
i found that the hotel claimed to have a wonderful roof deck with meals. the deck was dirty, covered in bird poop, and deserted. there were poor steps leading to the street.
