I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Buyuk Keban primarily due to its fantastic location, just a short walk from tram and metro stations. The breakfast was satisfying, featuring a variety of Turkish foods, which I enjoyed daily, though it was the same each morning. However, I encountered some issues with the Wi-Fi, which was slow and frequently disconnected, and I found the room amenities lacking, such as a kettle. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its convenience!
