Hakan

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Otelden ayrılırken bir kahve içip ayrılalım dedik. Resepsiyondaki arkadaş kahvatı alanından içebileceğimizi belirtri. Ama Kahve alırken bir bayan geldi ve sert bir şekilde alamayacağımızı bardan ücretle alacağımızı kaba bir şekilde söyledi. Bu davranış hiç hoşumuza gitmedi. Ayrıca odada hiç içecek yoktu. Bu fiyatta bir otelde böyle şeylerin olmaması gerekiyor. Ayrıca oda o kadar küçüktü ki kapsül gibiydi.İki tekli yatak için extra ücret almalarına rağmen odanın küçüklüğünden dolayı ayıramadıklarından çift kişilik yatak gibi olmuştu. Banyoda o kadar küçük ki kilolu ve iri arkadaşlara kesinlikle tavsiye etmem. Tek artısı merkeze yakın. Kesinlikle bir daha tercih etmem. Fiyata göre berbattı
