Nice quiet room. Very helpful staff. Very good buffet breakfast and Ira was a really good host in the breakfast room each morning. We were there for six nights and each morning we were greeted with a big smile from Ira and the staff at breakfast. Does this girl ever have a day off? She was still there each evening!! Long hours!! Excellent stay with location very good for sight seeing and shopping and eating.

Best Service Hotel

It was a good place to stay. The staff, Demirie, Irada and all others were wonderful, friendly, helped us and guided us in many aspects. They did everything they could. While i have read few reviews from past guests, I feel most those reviews that complained seemed not valid as the guests should understand that the owners, the staff try to do best to accomodate different types of people. It is difficult to meet everyone's needs but I saw everything good.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hospitality experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was comfortable and stress-free. The service throughout the hotel was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. Every request was met promptly, and we genuinely felt valued as a guest. A special shoutout goes to Murat, our driver, who was absolutely fantastic. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Murat made our transportation seamless and added a personal touch that made a big difference. His warm personality and helpfulness truly stood out. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay that combines comfort, excellent service, and a personal touch. I’ll definitely be returning!
