Meine Bewertung adressiert die gebotene Leistung für den Preis. Insofern bin ich sehr zufrieden. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, Internet funktionierte Top, Recht ruhig in Anbetracht der zentralen Lage. Das Personal hilfsbereit und freundlich. Somit empfehlenswert für jemanden der günstig übernachten möchte. Gefrühstückt habe ich nicht.

Extremely attentive service and went out of their way to ensure every comfort. Very clean, modern rooms. Right in middle of historic area and next to a 300 year old hammam that they helped me arrange services at Excellent and constant communication on arranging transfer. (Important to download WhatsApp for this). Even when my flight was delayed they stayed on top of my arrival. Highly recommended.
