Friends b-day trip

Stopover trip with friends but an excellent choice. This hotel is a new hotel but the room had space for our carry-ons bags. About 5mins walking to the Grand Bazaar. Many restaurants, bars and shopping! The welcoming was enough to feel we were at a good place! Ramasan was very helpful at check out time. He went above and beyond to help us with our transportation back to airport. I’ll definitely stay back here with no hesitation!

Laut Internet, war ein Zimmer mit Doppelbett mit 18m2 ausgeschrieben. Wir hatten mit 2 getrennten Betten gebucht. Bekommen haben wir 1 Zimmer mit 2 Betten, ca. 7m2. Ich kann gerne ein Bild vom Zimmer schicken. Es konnte sich nur einer Morgens oder Abends fertig machen, wenn der andere im Bad war. Wir hätten ein größeres Zimmer bekommen können, aber nur gegen Bezahlung. Der Aufenthalt im Zimmer war daher sehr unentspannt. Schade, das das so gelaufen ist. Werde das Hotel auch nicht weiterempfehlen.

Ruhiges Motel mit guter Verkehrsanbindung. Die Außenansicht des Hotels wurde mit einer Weitwinkelperspektive aufgenommen, wodurch es weitläufiger wirkt. Tatsächlich liegt das Motel jedoch sehr nah an den umliegenden Gebäuden. Wichtiger Hinweis für Reisende mit Auto: Die Beschreibung auf der Buchungsseite ist irreführend in Bezug auf die Parkmöglichkeiten. Es gibt keine hoteleigenen Parkplätze. Im Kleingedruckten wird angegeben, dass Parkmöglichkeiten ab 18:00 Uhr bestehen, was bedeutet, dass Gäste lediglich ab diesem Zeitpunkt ihr Fahrzeug vor dem Motel abstellen können – mit dem Risiko eines Strafzettels Für Gäste, die früher anreisen, bleibt nur die Option, das Fahrzeug auf einem gebührenpflichtigen Parkplatz in der Nähe abzustellen: 20 Euro als Tagessatz, da wir bereits um 15:00 Uhr eingecheckt haben, mussten wir unser Fahrzeug zunächst auf dem kostenpflichtigen Parkplatz hinter dem Motel abstellen. Nach einer Beschwerde konnte der Rezeptionist eine Reduzierung der Parkgebühr auf 8 EUR bis 20:00 Uhr erwirken. Anschließend haben wir das Auto vor das Motel umgeparkt – obwohl dort ein Parkverbot galt, wurde am Wochenende jedoch keine Kontrolle durchgeführt. Fazit: Das Motel ist sauber und das Personal freundlich sowie bemüht zu vermitteln. Allerdings wird auf der Buchungsseite nicht eindeutig darauf hingewiesen, dass keine hoteleigenen Parkplätze zur Verfügung stehen. Für Reisende mit eigenem Fahrzeug ist daher keine Alternative.
