I can't complain about this hotel in any way - from staff to amenities to the location, it's all been great. At check in, as others have said, you will receive a beautiful, warm, chocolate cookie. The lobby is spacious and perhaps a little too quiet I wouldn't have minded seeing some people having coffee or drinks there, add some vibrancy, but usually it's just one or two other people on their way in or out. Since the hotel is just a few stories tall, there is no wait for elevators. Elevators are secure, with the card needed to operate them, and there is an x-ray machine at the door, for safety. The rooms are spacious, and (since i live in Europe now and all the bathing facilities in my home are either shower/tub combo or the 'tiny plastic coffin'), I requested a large shower and I got a shower with glass doors and plenty of room. The soaps and lotions are lovely - lavender scents this month - and while there are no other supplies, the front desk will bring up what you might need. Beds are super comfy, the air condition works fine but you also can open the windows to let cool air (or the city vibe) in. Television is a respectable sized flat screen and has 5 premium movie channels in English. My one disappointment, and it's not anything earth shattering, because of the location you can go just outside for anything you might need the prices of hotel services are in euro and are a bit pricey. I did order room service and I highly recommend the dessert assortment (baklava, kunefe, ice cream, etc), but found the steak wrap to me really bland. The fries, though, were perfection.
