turkish tea helpful lady
The location is really close to tourist attractions. I could walk everywhere. The cleaning lady was nice. She changed our towels every day. The reception staff changed my room. The lady with glasses was sweet and helpful. I thought that was very kind. There was free Turkish tea and hot water for coffee in reception. I also liked that bottled water was available free. This was a nice addition to the services.
The walls seemed thin. I could hear sounds from other rooms. It was a slight disturbance

The sound insulation was not good. I could hear noises from neighboring rooms. I often reminded me of someone was in my room because I heard sounds from next door. This.
