The double room was romantic and new-fashioned, with climate control, free wireless internet, and a terrace. The place had a quiet atmosphere.

We had a big size and absolutely fantastic room with twin beds and everything was perfect. Besides, the location was marvellous for our stay, within 15 minutes' walk of an Ottoman - era Friday mosque.

Charming small hotel located adjacent to Bazaar districts, the "hippodrome" and the most important tourist attractions. Brand-new and big room, comfortable bed. Great breakfast items; extremely helpful and best staff. Perfect and best possible location for our visit to an Ottoman - era Friday mosque not very far from the property.
