This is the place. They have double pane windows and the place was extremely quiet. It’s a small hotel, but it’s completely been redone with beautiful modern finishes. The hotel faces a side street and is away from the big street noise. We only intended to stay one night, then look for a different hotel, part of our preplanning. After our first night, we quickly realized that we wanted to stay here for the next two days until we flew back home. The staff was very accommodating. Although the hotel was booked, they somehow managed to get us into another room, which was super quiet as well. Every room in this place appears to be modern, quiet and peaceful. We stayed here for a total of three nights. They had a very nice Turkish breakfast daily. Lastly, I can’t say how friendly and accommodating the hotel staff were. They were able to give us directions, recommendations, and really made us fill part of their hotel family during our stay. They arranged for a taxi to the airport for us also. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Boris Dec 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Breakfast was good ##### Boris Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xianren Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed four nights here.
