This is a special place, the hospitality of the older owner was really nice. Also, staff such as the tall modestly dressed woman (can’t remember her name) were especially helpful. She prepared food for the buffet breakfast each morning and did an excellent job of cleaning my room in the afternoon (daily - not a lot of hotels do that) she seemed humble and took joy in what she did which I rarely see. The hotel is not fancy but clean, comfortable, quiet place that felt like home. Breakfast was simple yet good with standard Turkish fare - bread, vegetables, sausage, cheeses, olives, eggs, fries….
The room was a decent size with a desk (and a mini fridge I never used). The down side is you have to pay for bottled water or other juice at the front desk. The bathroom was a little small but doable. It is also alittle dark (and could’ve used 1 more lamp on the desk) but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Overall it was clean and well kept but common areas like the outside could be cleaned soon after people use the space. There are restaurants in the area you can take by cab or corner stores you can walk to. It’s not in the heart of the city but traveling there is a good 15min. taxi ride. Overall, I highly recommend it. It is a great place to meet other travelers from around the world.
