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.

From a 10 m² double to the 35 m² Family Suite
The rooms span a wide range of sizes. The Small Double Room is the most compact at 10 m², with one double bed and a street view, yet it sleeps up to 3; the Economy Double Room, at 12 m² with a queen bed, also sleeps up to 3, so both are tight at full occupancy.

For a couple wanting more room or a balcony, the Budget Double Room is 20 m² and sleeps up to 3, with a queen bed and a street view. The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony is also 20 m², with a double bed and a street view. The Double Room With Park View, also 20 m², is the only room in this selection with a park view rather than a street or city view.

The Economy Quadruple Room, 30 m² with a double bed and two twin beds, also sleeps up to 4, as does the 20 m² Economy Triple Room with a double bed and a queen bed. The Deluxe Triple Room, 20 m² with two double beds and a twin bed, offers three beds without a stated sleep count.

Who it suits and who it should give pause
The hotel suits families: children are allowed, the Family Suite sleeps up to 4, and the water park and live music give children and adults something on site. Couples after a spa-focused stay will find the hammam and steam room close at hand.
It suits travellers on a budget too, with several economy rooms, but the smallest of these are genuinely compact at 10 to 12 m², so anyone wanting space should choose the 20 m² rooms or larger. It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, as pets are not allowed.
