We had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located close to many historical sites and tasty food spots. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed for our short trip.

Overall, it was great value for money.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is very conveniently located near the Grand Bazaar and several eateries. The rooms were clean but a bit cramped for two people. The service was friendly but could have been more attentive. I really appreciated the access to a nearby hotel for a great and affordable breakfast, though. Overall, a good budget option, but don't expect spacious accommodations.
