Solid Stay in Kadıköy

comfortable roombag storagecentral locationplumbing problem

The room was a very comfortable and restful place after my long days. Staff helped me store my bags before check-in. The location made moving around the area easy. It was also peaceful to rest in.

I noticed some small issues but the plumbing in the bathroom needs more attention. It caused some inconvenient odors. I think more frequent checks can improve this.
