Worth weighing
5 to weigh- English may not be spoken at reception — Some staff members only spoke Turkish, which could be challenging for non-Turkish speakers.
- Value for money is middling — While the rating for value is okay (7.5), a couple of guests felt the price wasn't fully justified by the experience.
- Dining rating slightly lower — The dining category scored 7.3, which is lower than rooms and service, and some guests said breakfast was 'not bad' rather than excellent.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to find alternatives.
- Small and older property — With 47 rooms and a 3-star classification, the hotel is modest in scale and may not offer luxury extras.
