mixed feelings about this hotel

small roominconsistent housekeeping

I stayed for several nights and found the room smaller than expected. the air conditioning seemed to have a mind of its own. I couldn't adjust it to a comfortable setting. breakfast was not excellent. The options were limited, and it felt somewhat basic (especially when i was expecting more variety). the housekeeping was inconsistent, and on a few days, the room wasn't cleaned thoroughly. i found better value at other places.

The location allowed me to easily walk to major historical sites. mustafa helped organize airport transfers and provided useful information. breakfast offered tasty homemade items. This gave a good start to each day. the front desk operated 24/7.

the absence of a kettle and complimentary water in the room was a slight inconvenience. i expected these amenities, especially considering similar hotels i have visited. i had to purchase bottled water.
