I strongly advise against staying here, whether you’re with family or on your own. I witnessed illegal drugs being used and even sold on the property. The place feels extremely sketchy and uncomfortable, and there’s no security in the rooms. I never felt safe or at peace. For your own safety, choose somewhere else.

I live abroad and only visit Türkiye now and then, so this was my first time here. I was very pleased with the service from an employee whose name, if I remember correctly, was Kıvanc. I’ll come back on my next visit.

The rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is unmatched. It’s easily one of the best choices in the city for a short stay.

We dropped in for a lovely, sunlit lunch. The marinated shrimp with salsa was brilliant, and I’d love to get the recipe. The fried cauliflower was great too, with a good vegetarian option. Service was charming and attentive to the details. Left very happy.
