early check-in smooth check-in modern bathroom complimentary water small room lacking sound insulation poor sound insulation thin walls

the hotel arranged for a smooth early check-in. my room included a modern bathroom. it featured complimentary water bottles replenished daily. i found a good glass terrace where i could savor wonderful views.

the room was smaller than i had hoped. there was a noticeable lack of sound insulation. i could easily hear corridor noises and doors slamming. the walls looked thin, and this disrupted peaceful moments.

tender turkish retreat

same floor genuine welcome tasty options quiet escape

I discovered our rooms were arranged on the same floor, a very comforting detail! the reception team was always ready to assist, their welcome felt so genuine. our room was quite super clean and cozy, and the breakfast offered many tasty options. the rooftop terrace gave a lovely view. It became my own quiet escape.

the room was cozy though several very small items were missing, such as tissues.

The room was quite small. I also found the cleanliness lacking in certain areas. The breakfast was pretty basic. A greater variety would have improved things. The view, though decent, didn't quite live up to expectations..

the staff was kind upon arrival, it was acceptable.

The breakfast options were poor. There was no cake or baklava. the juice and coffee machines were old. their products tasted undrinkable. That was not acceptable.
