4 Eylül Otel

The room looked clean, but I found a cockroach in the toilet. It was freezing because the air conditioner didn't work properly and the heater wasn't working either. I was told breakfast ran until 12, so I arrived at 11:30, only to be told the restaurant was closed. I'd suggest finding another hotel.

The staff were friendly and really helpful, and the hotel is centrally located near the historical sites. But the lobby and rooms had a heavy cigarette smell that stayed even with the ventilation on. I also found stains on the sheets, and hygiene overall seemed somewhat poor.

I was happy with how clean the place was and how friendly the staff were during my three-night stay. The big issue was Room 205, which absolutely reeked of nicotine. The room and curtains were clean, but the smoke seemed to have soaked into the wallpaper, carpet, and solid wood furniture. I couldn't sleep the first night, and my throat burned the whole time. Luckily, I'd brought incense sticks, which helped me get through the next two nights.

I picked it mainly for the location, close to the square, museums, and historical sites. It's not a luxury hotel, so keep expectations modest, but the location makes it a practical choice. I was there for one night and loud music nearby went on until 3 am, so I couldn't sleep. Breakfast and cleanliness were average. Taken together, it's a decent place to stay.
