Guests appreciate the substantial breakfast with diverse and healthy options. Many have enjoyed rooms with sea views and spacious layouts, some featuring hydromassage bathtubs; though a few guests have noted that some rooms could use some refurbishment.

The staff provided a map showing attractions with travel tips, that was helpful. The double bed was comfortable, and I slept well each night. The breakfast buffet included a nice variety of options. The rooftop terrace allowed for a pleasant view of the surrounding area.
I noticed a very slight musty odor in the hallways. The elevator seemed a bit small for more than one person and luggage. the steam room wasn't working.

I found the hotel staff professional and respectful. Many spoke english. the breakfast was very good with daily variations (especially the omelets). i really appreciated the helpfulness of the staff, always willing to assist with any request.
The hotel lacked a private parking area, requiring guests to use street parking. i also had to leave the car key at reception. It felt a bit uncomfortable.

The breakfast had great variety (i really liked the fresh fruit!). The staff members were helpful and friendly. They gave good advice. Cleanliness was everywhere, i noticed. The hotel is super close to the Grand Bazaar.
The wifi was quite slow, i must say. The spa was rather limited, with only a small pool and a turkish bath. The saunas didn't work. I wouldn't advertise it as a hotel with spa.
