Really good Hospitality and Convenient Location

really good cooperationconvenient roomcomplimentary couponsgreat kindness
The staff provided really good cooperation. They moved us to a more convenient room. They also provided complimentary breakfast coupons. I also appreciated the kindness of Mr Fatih, Redal, and Kemal. Ms Cigdom and her colleague in the café were sweet and attentive.
The noise insulation was not great and I could hear some noise from the adjacent room.
