Good rooms, longer walk from town centre but not bad on a scooter. Courtyard was nice but usage times are limited due to residential address.

The staff were all incredibly nice and helpful. They gave us a free room upgrade, and the new room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. They provided free water bottles and coffee/microwave use, extra toiletries, and anything we could need. They also were very helpful in answering our questions and recommending things to do. The only we problem we had was with contacting them after hours, when our key card stopped working and locked us out of the building.

Parking is an issue around the hotel. Actually it is a big issue for whole city. Really hard to find an appropriate place for your car. The staff was friendly and helpful even though we have never seen each other. They set it up for us to check-in late like 2-3am.The towels and generally the room were very clean. The room is really big and we could have our morning coffees in the room. There is no kettle for hot water fortunately we had ours. You can find a small place downstairs for coffee and tea, or only the cups. The location is close to the city center, 6-8 mins by car. It was easy to access everywhere. İt was a price/performance stay and we are appreciated.
