For location, service & facilities this is a perfect option for any traveller. The Turkish government give it the Boutique hotel classification but we can say that has the comfort of a deluxe hotel. The hotel has a sauna and small pool too. We highly recommend it. ( JMG 07/08)
The exterior is an fantastic old ottoman building combining in perfect harmony the white stone with the dark wood.
The lobby is as all the hotel, in perfect condition giving a fantastic 1st impression upon arrival. The decoration is a good balance between modern and traditional style.
