On the plus side: the room was quite spacious with good soundproofing from the street, and the location was excellent. It's right by a pedestrian street with shops, cafes, restaurants, and direct access to the Old Town. The staff were friendly.
On the downside: noise from the hallway was very audible. The breakfast was cafeteria-style, a 3- at best; we often left hungry and went to eat at a cafe. The coffee was either instant or from a machine that also dispensed instant coffee, but for 100 lira.
Complimentary bottled water was only provided on the first day. This is the first time I've encountered such a practice. It costs next to nothing and is easy to buy, but this level of stinginess is off-putting.
When on vacation, you expect at least some basic level of comfort.
There were also no toiletries, and the slippers had soles as thin as a piece of paper.
The bathroom door wasn't just glass; it also kept opening on its own. To get some privacy on the toilet, you had to sit there holding the door shut. And it swung open in both directions.
The public restroom on the ground floor is located in the restaurant and has a sign stating that entry is only permitted during breakfast hours. At all other times, it's strictly forbidden!
Overall, judging by the prohibitive signs, it feels like the hotel owner treats guests like wild animals who need to be fined and sold every little extra item.
