How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

A bar, live music and family rooms

Check-in, children and pets
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are allowed at the hotel. Pets are not allowed.
Who it suits and who it does not
The room range covers most party sizes: a solo traveller gets a dedicated single room, pairs and trios the Double, Twin or Triple, and a family the 35 m² Family Room with a double and two twin beds. The lift and the facilities for disabled guests matter to anyone with mobility needs, and the business center to anyone mixing work with the trip.
It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, as pets are not allowed.
