    NEWLY RENOVATED ROOM IN A WORN-OUT HOTEL AND VERY BUSY AREA; MEDIOCRE BREAKFAST

    Where can I start? LOCATION: Yes, it is close to mosques and Hop on Hop off, but you pay this in a different way. The hotel is located near a crazy 5 way intersection where nobody respects any traffic sign. Cars are driving heretic and sometimes even getting on sidewalks, and horns are going on every minute. The steps to get in from the sidewalk are uneven and quite a hazard. STAFF: The front desk was really nice, and we really appreciate the effort. He explained to us about areas and taxis and offered us a very nice room. ROOM: We were 3 adults and had a 3 people room, which actually was newly renovated. The problem was when we noticed the big bed was not a king but a double (they call double bed either is a king, queen, or double). We are not small people, and the bed was really not suitable. The air conditioning/heat was either getting the room cold or very warm regardless of the set temperature. The fridge was useless as it was not working. BATHROOM: Was quite ok except the warn out towels and the fact that the door got locked and we needed to call them to repair it. BREAKFAST: Here actually is the real frustration. The elevator was either busy or not working. We were on the 4th floor, and the breakfast was on the roof floor. The breakfast room it is a weird shape room, with a very weird table arrangement. One person takes care of the food, which is limited. Old simits out of the fridge, grapes that were not rinsed, a coffee machine that needed a few punches (not from us) to work, and a toaster for which you have to wait forever. To all of these, add wobbly tables, worn-out lino flooring, which constitutes a real hazard, and items, and bags of you, name it on narrow hallways.

    Very nice front desk staff; Clean, newly renovated rooms, with big windows; Breakfast had 3 kinds of olives and 4 kinds of cheese.

    Bathroom was small, breakfast was poor had very little options, price we paid for what it was i found too much, but then we was glad the hotel room itself was a clean environment. Hotel have renovated it and it has been done nicely.

    Clean hotel room, was small but clean, staff were lovely and amazing. Really helpful and made such a difference, local surrounding was good. With 5-10 min walk to the mosques and the shops and pharmacy and shops outside hotel also. Nice environment.

    Some broken staff in the room. Like hair driyer holder and water leakage

    Location is exellent, near grand Bazar and all turist area. Near hotel also have supermarket, farmacy and many restoran and vine shop to. The room was big and clean, also the staff cleans every day and change bed sheets and towels. AC works very well to and internet speed was good. Have some minore issue, like broken hair dryer holder and some water leakage from ander toilet ball, but not bother us. The breackfast was many kind of food, like cheese, olives, sousages, eggs, so many staff , but every day the same, i think they need change some times, they have big teracce upstairs with sea view. Over all, it was better thsn others. Put in mind that this area very crowded, full of car and noise even at night.
