A cute gem!

attentive serviceearly check-intransfer organisationclose location

My room was very tidy. I appreciated the basic necessities provided! The staff's attentive service stood out. They organized transfers for me, granted an early check-in, and addressed any other requests I might have had. The location was near main attractions! Mosques, the cistern, and the Grand Bazaar were within a 10-minute walk.

The water smelled strange for a few days. I think this could be contaminated. So it needs to be addressed!
