  • Breakfast with Turkish specialties — The breakfast buffet is frequently described as excellent, sensational, and better than most, with a range of local dishes and a top view.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Tight check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 13:00 and 14:00, which can be restrictive for travellers arriving outside those hours. There is no flexibility mentioned.
  • No pets — The hotel does not allow pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Small bathrooms — At least one guest found the bathroom too small, despite praising the rest of the room.
  • Occasional mixed room experience — While most guests are happy with the rooms, a few reviews note less excitement about the room itself, suggesting that the location and staff are the bigger draw.
