"Great value for money!
I had a really pleasant stay here. The place was tidy, the beds were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The people I met were super nice too, which made the experience even better. The only downside was that there were no towels available to rent, so make sure to bring your own. Other than that, highly recommended!"

"I stayed here 1 night in a private room and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and brand new with a comfortable bed and fan for heating or cooling the room. It's a great place to stay for a short time or even a long time and close to the metro and shops. I enjoed my stay and a special thanks to Mr. Mert who was very nice and made sure my stay was satisfactory. Hope to stay again here in the future."

The location is great, but the reality doesn’t match the pictures. The place feels very tired.
Room & Bedding: The furniture is worn, full of cigarette burns, and the bed was hard. Instead of a duvet, they gave us a throw, and when I asked for a proper duvet, I was questioned about it. The bedding overall was poor.
Food: My wife’s meal was overcooked, mine was undercooked. I originally ordered...
