“A Solid 4 Stars”
4 stars with a possible extra half star for its prime location. We paid extra for a slighter bigger Superior room and asked when booking for a quieter, upper and rear room; which was supplied = room 306. Rooms facing the street front would be noisier. Pleasant helpful staff. All very clean. The building lift while slow, was appreciated. Ok wifi. A functioning in room safe and a basic eutectic fridge. We could not get our room air con to actually cool (it just wanted to heat all of the time), so we left it off and then opened the room window of an evening. This could be a problem here though in mid summer. There is a sign in the room saying that guests have control over the heating or cooling modes BUT this is not so. Management said when I questioned the problem that come mid October all rooms are assigned a heat mode of approx 25 C which is just too hot ! The space for the included breakfast is too small and too congested and if you sat outside you would be confronted by the traffic fumes and cigarette smoke from other patrons and passerbys. Pre-cooked food is not kept food safe warm. The shower floor drain was slow to drain away and I flagged this to management on checking out. Eating at the basic Yeni Karadeniz Aile Ve Pide Kabap Salonu restaurant, just around a lane way corner was a treat and is highly recommended. Good value there too and nice to be mostly dining with locals.
