My stay at Hotel Mola Galata was a mix of beautiful moments and some letdowns. The amazing view from the rooftop terrace is truly lovely, and the warm welcome from the staff made me feel at home. However, I faced some challenges with the room cleanliness and certain amenities that could have been improved. All in all, I'd say it was a nice stay, but not without its issues. 😊
