Smallest room in the world

Номер без окна и внутри здания - таких примерно половина, как мне показалось. Всю площадь номера занимает кровать. Ванная комната ок, с душевым поддоном, есть шампунь и гель для душа, зубной набор.

MERKEZİ VE F/P OTEL

Genel olarak F/P açısından iyi bir otel. Personelin ilgilisi çok güzel. Eksiklik olarak en büyük sıkıntı klozetlerde taharet musluğu olmaması ve de lavabo ve banyodaki su basıncının yetersiz olması. Özellikle 4. kat su damla damla akıyor.
