central and clean
excellent location strong water pressure good toiletries
the staff helped greatly with directions. the location was excellent for accessing main attractions and the tram. the room was clean and the shower had strong water pressure? the toiletries were of good quality.
The breakfast lacked variety, and the pastries offered were not great. I had hoped for a better selection of turkish breakfast items.
Rooms
9/10
the room featured blackout curtains, which helped with sleep. i also liked that the room provided ample space for luggage storage. the bed was comfortable, though the pillows could have been firmer.
