Worth weighing

  • Walking distance to some attractions — Fethi Pasa Korusu is about a 25-minute walk away, which may be farther than some guests expect for a central location.
  • Check-in starts at 15:00 — Rooms are not available until mid-afternoon, which might be inconvenient for early arrivals.
