I found the location quite convenient. It allowed easy access to various parts of the area. I also appreciated the attentiveness from Dilan, who was always ready to help. All staff members were pleasant.
My room lacked a terrace, a disappointment. The hot water boiler was too small, so filling the bathtub was not possible. I found the room decor somewhat uninspired.
