early check-inprivate shuttle
The location is great. Many shops and restaurants are nearby. the staff let me check in early at 7am. this allowed me to rest after a long flight. I appreciated that. the staff are friendly and supportive. any questions i had were fulfilled in a short time. the hotel offered a taxi or private shuttle from the airport, it worked very well.
the room smelled slightly of smoke at times. the bathroom was a bit old.

The staff were really helpful. They sorted out a map for me. the room had basic amenities. i found a kettle with tea and coffee. the hotel's location is on the main street. a café across the street made good turkish coffee.
the bathroom felt old. i could see mould on the shower edges. the reception area had many people smoking and that smell reached my room.
