My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was spot on, just a short walk from the beach and close to public transport options, which made it super convenient for exploring. However, the rooms were a bit lacking in comfort and amenities, with some issues like no curtains and a hanging light bulb. While the service was mostly friendly, they charged extra for hot water, which felt a bit off. Overall, it was decent for the price, but a few improvements could make a big difference.

I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. On the upside, it’s in a fantastic location just a block away from Emir Beach and close to public transport. Unfortunately, the rooms left a lot to be desired – they weren't very clean and had a distinct smell of humidity. The service could also be improved, as it felt a bit unwelcoming at times. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for a great location, but the comforts of your stay might not be up to par.

I stayed at this hotel and loved the fantastic location, just a block from the beautiful Emir Beach and close to public transport. The view from my airy room overlooking the ocean was incredible, but I did encounter some cleanliness issues and a strange sewer smell when the upstairs toilet was flushed. The service was friendly and helpful, making my stay more enjoyable, but unfortunately, the dining options could use a big improvement in quality.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the location is fantastic, just a block away from the stunning Emir Beach and very close to public transport, making it super convenient for exploring. The staff was friendly and genuinely helpful, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, the rooms were significantly smaller than I expected, especially the bathroom, and the dining options left a lot to be desired. Overall, while the location and service were great, the room size and dining quality were drawbacks.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, I found it to be a mixed bag. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, just a block away from Emir Beach and close to public transport, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were fairly clean but quite small, and the bathroom definitely could use some improvements. The service was friendly, but certain amenities felt a bit lacking, especially when it came to dining options. While the hotel has a lot of potential due to its prime location, there are definitely some areas that need attention for a more comfortable experience.
