small bathroom limited selection weak air
The bathroom was quite small. the breakfast offered a limited selection. I wished there were more options beyond the typical turkish fare. also, the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool, functioning more like a fan (which wasn't ideal, especially during warmer days).
