Very well located hotel near all the main tourist attractions.
Good breakfast and caters for most people’s tastes.
Nice rooms and provide everything you could need in a city centre.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Transport to the hotel from the airport takes about 1hr 30mins on public transport via the M11 and M2 underground metro then either a 1km walk or a few stops on the tram!
If you’re using public transport it’s very cheap roughly a few Euros to get from the airport to the centre. You need a metro card which you then need to put money onto it’s about 35-40 Lira per ride. A ride is per line. E.g 35/40 lira for M11 then the same for M2 and then the same for the tram.

“We went there for few days… location perfect and pretty rooms. Good breakfast too.
Unfortunately someone stole something from our room. This never happened before in all many journeys all around the world.
Even if we asked to reception to investigate on this matter, they didn’t support us at all.
I think this is not good at all!”

“Excellent service. Reception staff were incredible in accommodating our early arrival. We had just come in from an 11hour flight, so an early check in meant we were able to freshen up and rest before we explored the city.
Reception also recommended a private guide to show us around. That was invaluable in making the most of your limited time. Our guide Aidyn was simply the best host, and enabled us to see everything we wanted and imparted his wealth of local knowledge that made the city come alive for us.
Arranging our transportation through reception was super easy. Tip - they prefer to work via cash rather than credit cards ”
