friendly service great balcony excellent breakfast
Ayhan provided very friendly service. This person helped us out a lot. The hotel has good room service with a balcony and the breakfast was excellent.
The hotel is located on a side street. A tram line rerouted heavy traffic outside the hotel. Traffic noise occurred late into the night.
