Acceptable, but Some Issues

amazing locationstaff communicationroom cleaning
The location was actually pretty amazing. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby.
The staff's communication could use some work, especially the management. the room was never cleaned . They claimed the "Do Not Disturb" sign was on, though that was untrue. I had even asked the reception staff to clean the room before I left. Seriously?!

Charming Stay Near Historical Wonders

kind stafffine viewclean hotel
The location worked well. It provided easy access to major attractions. The staff were very kind, especially Erhan, the breakfast manager. My upgraded room on the third floor offered a fine sea view, which I really appreciated. I found the hotel to be very clean. Everything was well maintained.
The duvet was a bit small for the large bed, a minor inconvenience.
