Zero sound isolation, if you are on the roadside or staying in one of the below rooms, you are not going to sleep at all. Also, because of the economic crises in Turkey, I believe they rented their rooms to people for a month or more We had 6 people staying above us... NIGHTMARE !!!

Yerler zaten toz içindeydi. Tek iyi yanı resepsiyonda ki calısan arkadas yardımcı olmaya calıstım ama ımkansızlık dahilin de o da yardımcı olamadı. Yastık kılıfları berbattı. 5.8 puan verilmiş ama ınanın değeri 3.-3,2 aralıgında. Şiddetle tavsiye etmiyorum istanbul gibi bi metropolde ve istambul un göbeğin de rezalet bir işletme..

Leider funktionierte die Klimaanlage nicht.

Wir haben das Hotel verlassen und den ganzen Betrag rückerstattet bekommen. Es war eine Rauchfreie Zimmer ausgewählt, die Sitze hatten mehrrere Brandlöcher. Absolut nicht empflehlenswert!
