"The owners were VERY gracious and understanding even after my very late arrival. They offered me a choice of upgraded rooms and even an extra blanket for the chilly night. The views are amazing. The hotel is elevated and set back from the main road - there was no street noise. Breakfast was very impressive, including a choice of what seemed like 3 home-made jams. "
"Extremely friendly and welcoming, clean, with an exceptional breakfast, even by the great Turkish breakfast standards. The only downside was that the WiFi does not work in the rooms, only in the common areas."
"New hotel with some mechanical glitches. Service very attentive and willing. Located just off the highway, so good for traveling. Full restaurant and bar."
"The breakfast is fabulous lots to choose from . Hotel presented beautifully. Accomodating staff . Rooms spacious and clean . A little old but good value for money and in a great spot . Good for parking . "
"The small room has a bed and a small bathroom (shower not separated from the floor). The air conditioning works great. What is special is that "furniture" is part of stone walls. The location is in the city centre, which means it's walkable but also noisy, especially since the windows don't really close."
