Local nightlife experience

For the price of the rooms - you get a central location - especially if you are into the local nightlife and shopping experience. The nightlife is however quite noisy in some of the rooms (avoid the first floor, if possible) - the music is very loud until 3 am in the night. The breakfast was light and the coffee was strong - just like I like it.

Konum doğru değil, işaretli konumun biraz daha aşağısında kalıyor. Gece gürültülüydü ses yalıtımı yetersiz. Oda kapısı kilitlenmiyor, banyo kapısı kapanmıyordu. Onun dışında beklendiği gibiydi. Fiyata göre daha iyi seçenekler bulunabilir.

Wir waren von 20.11-27.11 in dieser Unterkunft. Das Personal war stets immer Hilfbereit und ansprechbar. Man ist Zentral,wenige schritte ist man im Istiklal(Positiv) Wir 2 erwachsene mit Ohrstöpsel nur zum schlafen war es vollkommen,für Famillien eher unpraktisch. Die Kneipen in der umgebung hört man bis ins Zimmer. Ich (2 Erwaschsene)würde es nochmal Buchen.
