My room (106) was a standard double room so size wise it was comfortable for me as a single person. Complimentary water bottles; fridge had soft drinks, wine + beer for guests to purchase. Even the bathroom was spacious and had toilet roll, shower cap & soap. Breakfast was just adequate, the same repeated everyday - boiled eggs, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, cheese, sliced bread, some pastries, one variety of juice, tea & coffee.

Hotel staff + receptionists did NOT speak English. All my queries were answered by only one person (when he is available) Mr Kenan so thanks to him - I am very grateful. The hotel is right in front of a main road so it was very NOISY (cars passing even at 4 in the morning)!! Ha, ha, I asked for a quiet room but hotel definitely didn't oblige - maybe ALL rooms are noisy! There is no tissue box or dustbin in the room. The hotel does not have adapters for the wall electric sockets which are round pin (I had a phone & laptop charger with square plugs).

The breakfast was fine, the personnel was also fine and helpful.

It`s not that I don`t like, but it is more a hotel for transit. It is not a destination for vacation. A little bit messy in reception. The receptionistists were fine, but, for instance, I was with a group, and one of my friends took a room that was not cleaned, which was a mistake and almost ruined his vacation. First impression was spoiled because of that. A little more attention required.
