We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the central bus station. It was a bit hard to find late at night as it was down a dark side alley but when we got there we were greeted by a nice young man on reception. He kindly helped us lug our heavy cases up the staircase to our room and was happy to come back and help us when we couldn’t work out how to get into our room. It wasn’t helped by the fact that there was no light outside. Our room was extremely compact but had everything in it that we needed for the night we were there: aircon, a fridge, a small double bed. The tv only had four or five Turkish channels. The room is in need of a bit of TLC: the shower door was about to come off, the curtain was hanging down, meaning that the morning light came in, and the safe didn’t work. The shower was so tiny that when I dropped the soap I didn’t have enough space to bend down and pick it up! Rooms are set around a very pleasant central courtyard with bougainvillea, a pool and a bar. The hotel is just a few steps from the main shopping streets but despite that, it’s quiet. We were awoken by a rooster and the call to prayer, which gave it a real holiday feeling. Breakfast was an extensive Turkish buffet which we enjoyed. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. A good option for a one night stay. Perhaps the larger rooms would be a better option and if you have mobility problems, do check that your room is on the ground floor.
