my sweetie and me found such nice staff ready to help. they even let us store our luggage while we traveled elsewhere in the country. the coffee machine near reception was a treasure. my beloved enjoyed many cups of hot chocolate there.
the towels looked rather worn and could be replaced. it is a very little detail, of course.

I appreciated the location, it was close to the main attractions. Breakfast offered a good selection of food. The staff seemed helpful with directions around the area.
The room size was smaller THAN expected, and it felt cramped. The soundproofing in the room was poor, and I could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway.

The location is marvelous. Just a brief walk takes you to the hippodrome and blue mosque. the variety at breakfast was excellent, offering many choices. our room was spacious and everything in it, it worked as expected, a notable highlight.
the bedroom curtains, they failed to fully cover the windows. as a result, the room was bright with sunlight as soon as morning came.
