"Great value for money! I had a really pleasant stay here. The place was tidy, the beds were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The people I met were super nice too, which made the experience even better. The only downside was that there were no towels available to rent, so make sure to bring your own. Other than that, highly recommended!"

"Great location. Room a bit cramped but good value and perfectly adequate. Breakfast very disappointing - virtually the same plate every morning but with one extra not very appetising or healthy option - cold pasta, cold chips, cold deep fried pastry, cold potato salad. Not the delightful buffet of delicious breads and jams and cheeses etc that I have loved in Turkey in the past. A shame. Bring back the buffet!"
