Super clean, convenient location and lovely staff.
Matija from Croatia (9/10)
We stayed at this newly built hotel, and overall, we were very pleased with our choice. The hotel is very clean and well-maintained, especially considering that it’s recently refurbished. The rooms were cleaned and tidied up every day, and all shared areas were immaculately kept.
We stayed in room 503 and had a decent internet connection (D:20/U:20). Additionally, upon request, they provided a crib for our 10-month-old baby. The crib was spacious and comfortable and fit perfectly next to our double bed. The mattress on the double bed was very comfortable, and the room had two sets of pillows—one higher and one lower—so we could choose what suited us best.
The small kitchenette in the room was very practical and fully functional, which was very helpful during our stay. The hotel staff was friendly and always available, and we would especially like to thank the manager, Mehmet and his colleague Nasrin for fulfilling every request we had and assisting us with any questions.
We also highly recommend using the hotel’s transport service. It was affordable, comfortable, and safe. The driver was very attentive and did not drive aggressively like many other city taxi drivers. The breakfast at the hotel was varied and tasty, with options that catered to our needs, and there was even a high chair available in the restaurant. Although the hotel doesn’t offer lunch or dinner, there are at least a dozen local restaurants within a 2-minute walk, all of which offer "eat out" options. The hotel also allows guests to bring food and drinks into their rooms, which is an added bonus.
The hotel's location is very well connected to public transport. Within a 10-minute walk, you can reach all major transport stations (bus, tram, metro), making it easy to get around the city.Gia from United Kingdom (9/10)
This is a very clean hotel, like new.
Small room, but spotless and very comfortable bed.
Friendly and helpful reception staff.
The location is good, too, as very close to public transport.
