Mostly everything. Perfect location, the metro was right in front of us, 5 minutes away from Grand Bazaar :) Clean, sweet hotel. Smallish rooms but just enough for a short stay. Very nice and helpful staff. I was really pleased that I booked there in generally.

Staff were awesome. We arrived around 7am and they let us check in early and have some breakfast. They gave us a slice of cake from Gloria’s coffee shop when they found out that it was my hubby’s birthday. Which I think was a really nice gesture🥰
