The gentleman by the name of seizer was too good, friendly fellow

Отдыхала в этой гостинице и осталась очень довольна. Прекрасное расположение — рядом музеи, туристические автобусы, продуктовые магазины, сувенирные лавки, базар, рестораны, а также удобный выход к морю. В номере было комфортно: работал кондиционер, чистые простыни создавали ощущение свежести, а горячая вода в комнате всегда была в наличии. Отдельно хочется отметить приветливый персонал — все вопросы решались быстро и с заботой.
И, конечно, порадовал прекрасный завтрак: было вкусно и с хорошим выбором, чтобы начать день с хорошим настроением. I stayed at this hotel and was very pleased. The location is absolutely great—near museums, tourist buses, grocery stores, souvenir shops, the bazaar, and restaurants, and it’s also convenient to get to the sea.
Inside the room I had everything needed: the air conditioner worked well, the sheets were clean and fresh, and there was hot water in the room whenever we needed it. The staff was also very friendly—every question was handled quickly and with care.
And the breakfast was excellent.
The airport transfer costs 50 euros, which is really convenient and not expensive for the service provided.
Курящее кафе внизу. И недостаточно котиков вокруг. Tobacco- smoking-cafe and not enough cats.

Amazing location. Comfortable, welcoming and attentive staff
Looked like maybe a cat had been on our bed so had some black hairs over sheet when we first arrived.

Location. The young man who looked after us for breakfast.
Buyer beware!! We only found out on arrival that we wouldn’t be getting the superior room with view over the mosque (we had booked 6 months earlier) but a standard room with limited view. If they had let us know prior we could’ve had the option to book elsewhere or at least make that decision ourselves to book the standard room and I do wonder (after reading many many Google reviews since we’re home) whether this is standard practice for this motel!? When we went to pay the owners son said to wait as he “wanted to put it through on a friends machine” which sounded awfully dodgy!!
