Another wrote: “We are so glad that we booked this, amazing hotel, it is stunning, fantastic location, facing the Turkish Baths. Receptionist was super helpful, we were able to check in slightly early. Large outside area, which was fab, due to the sunny weather. We ordered some snacks, great pizza, garlic prawns etc. Rooms spacious, breakfast was amazing due to the vast choices on offer. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely go back.”
