The hotel is very central and within walking distance to the tram, shopping and restaurants. The front desk is extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was also good. Hotel, though, needs an upgrade with new carpets and room decor as well as reception area. Else a wonderful stay at the hotel.

Pros- nice location, room was clean, breakfast was decent, stuff helpful. Cons- hotel itself is very outdated. Big part of the Lobby room is dark and filled with stuff. Hotel has an access to the roof with an incredible view, but it is not in use for anything. Needed an iron, got it only on the second day. Water in the shower was not draining. And it is on the street with restaurants, so every night it was very laud from outside till 1-2am. I probably won’t stay here again unless there will be some renovations.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Really pretty bad. We had reasonable expectations but this was disgusting. I don't know for sure but I think they may have been overbooked and put us in a room under construction. The bathroom was repulsive. Black mold everywhere. We slept there the first night and when we went to shower the water was pouring directly out on the floor. We called the front desk and they said they would give us a new room later. But we wanted to shower before heading out. They found a room someone had checked out of and we stayed there for the next night. It was an updated room but far from luxury. A little cleaner but I would NOT stay there again.

I was not happy for the stay and I will not pick this hotel again. Overall, my enthusiasm about this hotel when I booked returned to disappointment. There were just a few good things: I liked the respect, professionalism and helpfulness of employees especially cleaning staff, breakfast workers and bell boy (I think his name is Cengiz) who helped me many times. I like the breakfast bar, variety and quality of items and cleanliness of the area. On the other hand; there are many negative issues. The hotel needs a good and thorough renovation. Lobby and lounge are dark and dirty. Pool was closed. There was a water and sewer problem. Linens are clean but old. I had to change the room since the first one had drainage problem and a/c was not working. You cannot open the windows since there is no screen on the windows. Staff were helpful to offer a better (!) room and helped me to move. However, the next room also had issues; the safe deposit box was out of order (it's fixed immediately when I informed), and shower also had a slow drain. I will not stay in this hotel in my next trip unless all those issues are fixed.
