a stay with some issues

small room sewage smell
The location is quite convenient. It is close to the metro station.
the room felt quite small! also, the sewage had a bad smell during the night, and i asked for a bigger room without these issues, but i was told that all the rooms are the same size and the smell is normal when it is windy. this was not good.

Lovely Stay!

efficient staff traditional food fascinating view plentiful options
The location was superb! Public transport like the metro and tram are a short walk away. The staff were friendly and efficient and resolved all our requests promptly. Breakfast offered plentiful options including tasty traditional food like simit and Turkish tea. I loved the fascinating views from the terrace, a perfect way to start each day.
The elevators were quite small, which occasionally caused a bit of a wait, especially during peak times.

sea view comfortable beds helpful staff small elevators weak air conditioning breakfast options
I secured a Golden Room With Sea View and the view was fine. I could see the water clearly from my window. The beds were comfortable and I slept well each night (something I really needed). The staff were very helpful and kind, especially with directions.
The elevators were rather small. It took a while to get up to my room sometimes. The air conditioning was not very strong. It was difficult to cool the room down quickly. The breakfast was just okay. It wasn't bad, but I hoped for more options.
