Excellent Amenities and Service

second armchairplentiful breakfasthelpful staffwelcome feeling
I received an upgrade to a smaller room upon my arrival. The desk manager was happy to provide a second armchair when I requested it. Turkish breakfast was plentiful, with yogurt and vegetables. The staff was helpful, and this.
The road to the place is narrow. It can be difficult to navigate, even for experienced drivers.
