Excellent emplacement. Hôtel très propre et confortable. Le gérant est serviable et souriant. Petit déjeuner copieux en buffet ouvert. C'était sans fautes.

Great location- very, very friendly staff/owners!
The stairs were scary but fun :)

Kind, helpful and responsive owners make this a small, family-run hotel feel special. We stayed in the top room with a balcony, a view of the water and a nice breeze. It's located within walking distance of many attractions, and there's plenty of food nearby*. We found the bed comfortable! Yunis gave us helpful advice about simple public transportation for where we wanted to go, and watched our bags for us after checkout. We appreciated that the room had a standing fan -- too many places don't offer that most basic item. There's AC, but In the evening, we think open windows and a fan are perfect. This is not a fancy, luxury hotel, but they work to provide everything you need. (*Try the nearby Casa de Madera bistro, which serves up an awesome and showy clay pot meal. We are vegetarian, and they had great options for us.)
It was fine for us, but the narrow circular stairs may not be for everyone. For people allergic to synthetic fragrances, like myself, the bedding was fine, but I had to use my own travel towel. (So far, I'm finding this is true everywhere I go on Turkiye; it's not unique to this hotel.)

La ubicación de este cuarto excelente, a pie podés llegar a los mejores lugares. El desayuno abundante y bueno. El servicio de limpieza impecable.
El cuarto del hotel era muy pequeño, no había lugar para poner las maletas y eso que eran carryon. La ventana que tenía daba a un feo espacio de cosas que tiraron. Pegado a un lado de la cama estaba la heladera pequeña y arriba de ella había un lugar con perchas donde no entraba ni una camisa.
