SSelim SidaliThe hotel's location is very central. It's within walking distance of everything. I should mention that it's darker than it appears in the photos. That was probably the room I was given. To reach my room, I had to go through an alley, climb stairs, then two more alleys, then a short hallway, and finally descend again, navigating a labyrinthine path. I had to do this alone, especially with two suitcases, a large laptop bag, and my leather suit in a garment bag. There was no bellboy at the hotel, and they didn't offer any help. Doing this after two connecting flights was a disappointment.
I've included a picture of my room and a screenshot of the room specifications from trip.com. It's incredibly small. I stayed in the exact same room. I hadn't specifically requested non-smoking accommodation beforehand, but they didn't offer it when I first arrived. Since it was my first time staying at that hotel, I didn't want to cause any problems on the first day. Yes, there was a heater in the room, but when I mentioned it was cold, the receptionist told me the heaters weren't working yet. When I repeatedly complained about being cold, the manager brought me an electric heater from his office and handed it directly to me. I had to carry it to my room alone, again through the same labyrinthine path. Likewise, there was no hairdryer in the room; I had to get one from reception. The internet worked well; I didn't experience any problems. There was probably a 49'' TV in the room; I only used it once, and the back cover of the remote control was missing, and the batteries were oxidized. The room had a bathroom and toilet, but it was very small. It was stated that there would be a wardrobe, but the room I received didn't have one; instead, as you can see in the picture on the left, there was an open coat rack. Therefore, I couldn't unpack my suitcase. I constantly had to take things out and put them back in. The bed was comfortable with two pillows. I brought my own pillow, so I didn't have any problems. There was no phone in the room; you couldn't reach reception from the room. As mentioned, there was a coffee, tea, and kettle maker on the bedside table (under the TV). There was a set of towels for two. They didn't provide room cleaning, ventilation, or towel changes (there was no ”Please clean” or ”Please don't disturb” sign on the entrance door). There was a towel rack/heater in the bathroom to help dry the towels. The bathroom was old. The shower curtain, in particular, was very bad. Because it hung too far inside the bathroom, it stuck to my body when wet while showering. It was very uncomfortable. Opening and closing the curtain was also difficult due to rust. Breakfast was served as an English breakfast. I stayed for 3 nights but only had breakfast one night. It generally suited my taste, but the variety was limited. I wouldn't recommend having high expectations. During my stay, I had the chance to speak with two reception staff members. I can say they tried to be helpful. There's a small bar, which I used one night. The prices weren't bad; I paid 24 pounds for two doubles and a double Jack Daniel's.
