Really liked the location. Most of the attractions are in a walking distance, making it easy to access without taking public transportation. From positive things can also mention Faruk who is a nice host and who was always there to help.
Now, I would like to mention that first off, the hotel really needs the renovation. What you see on the main pictures, that’s how the hotel used to look like probably 10 years ago or so. Now, everything got old. The bed linens are ripped, the beds are old, the lamps are half working and keeping itself on its places. The rooms are super small and are lacking some closets for clothes. The cleaning was also so so. You could see someone was inside and threw trash but that was all. The cleaning lady was taking dirty towels and never brought fresh back. The toilet paper was never provided except for the time when we checked in. Our tv did not work, we complained about it and no one ever checked it. The breakfast is very poor. I don’t know how other guests could say it was great and good. Well, it was far from good. The only thing what I could see was nice to eat was omelette which we used to get every morning: 1 omelette for 3 persons. And I’m really sorry to bring it all in but if I would’ve seen such comments when I was choosing the accommodation I would definitely not choose this one. I think most of the guests feel bad leaving bad comments because they don’t want to offend a host - Faruk. I just wish my comment will prevent people from making a mistake when booking this accommodation and hoping for something great.
Everything was Excellent, especially the friendly owner ( Farouk ). The location is perfect, Breakfast was decent and guidance by people there was very useful
Everything was Very good , but the Room was very small , with no bottle of water in Room during our stay, while the water was only provided in reception. Also the exhaust fan in bathroom wasn't working In general, the whole experience was satisfying and I would recommend it
Bien ubicado y nada más. Escaleras para las habitaciones, súper estrechas, si llevas peso, lo tienes mal. Sin servicios, ni máquina para comprar un agua. Las mezquitas muy cerca no dejan dormir a las 6am y muuuy viejo y en condiciones muy justitas. Pero barato por su ubicación.
