We loved the room and the amenities, along with the wonderful food the hotel had to offer. We were able to easily walk around and the central location made it that much easier.

"Nice hotel on the marina, unfortunately the weather was not on our side to see the views. Very pleasant staff and they also had someone walk me to my room which was a lovely touch. Restaurant on the ground floor was superb and the rooftop bar was nice too. Unfortunately, my room smelt of smoke, which I forget is something you need to indicate in Türkiye. However, a lovely stay nevertheless. Loved the resident cats also!"
