2/10 Poor
5 November 2024
I would recommend never staying here ever. The staff is out right rude and will run you out of there. If you’re from a different country they treat you terribly. When I checked in my room was so hot and the AC wasn’t working and they insisted they fixed it but I just opened the window. It is loud on the streets and you can hear sirens all night long and can not sleep. The food is also terrible and location is even worse. Please do not stay here would give this place 0 stars if I could!

Our stay was very pleasant. The hotel staff here is amazing. The amenities are great. One of the best hotel gyms (I have been to hundreds of hotels around the world). The main reception worker named Selin did a fantastic job getting us settled into our rooms, helped us with late check out and was very friendly and helpful.
