All the staff were extremely kind to the lady on crutches. It was a very memorable week’s stay, even only walking a block a half. Hilarious.

The location of the property is convenient. The staff are very nice and helpful. The rooms are small but clean. They could add some amenities to the room. Additionally the property is now charging tax $2/day for a couple, this was not listed on expedia when I booked the room.

Отель для отдыха в "раю челночников"

Отель расположен в квартале оптовой торговли предметами одежды, обуви и других мелочей. Транспортная доступность позволяет применять все виды общественного транспорта от метро до трамвая и в относительно близкой пешей доступности основных достопримечательностей Стамбула. Были затруднения в ориентации при поиске маршрута на улицу с отелем. Заселение- ввело в шок, что паспорта оставляют на ресепшн до момента выезда из отеля. Завтрак со стандартным набором блюд. Взамен номера с одной кроватью был предоставлен номер с раздельными спальными местами. Уборка номера не производится. Сантехника в туалете с проблемой отключения кранов и при пользовании душем недостаточно горячей воды. По завершении проживания пришли к выводу, что Отель для краткосрочной остановки на один-два дня за приемлемую стоимость проживания.

Da vi ankommet hotellet var vårt rom ikke klart selv om det var kl.21:00, og måtte vi overnatte på et annet hotel og kom tilbake igjen neste dag. Folk røyker på korridor og i rommene, badekar er veldig gammel og skittent, man hører alle som snakker utenfor rommet som de sitter med deg i samme rommet og mye mer.TV-en kanaler er kun 5 eller 6 og det er kun 2 som funker så er det veldig kjedelig. Kun frokost som er bra . Kommer aldri tilbake.Anbefales ikke.

Rekommenderas INTE

Jag har bokat ett rum för två personer, men när jag kom fram så fick ett rum för tre personer med enkla sängar. Väldigt smutsigt badrum. bilderna stämde inte med det som är angivet. Priserna stämde inte med det som stod på deras hemsidan till exempel jag fick betala 120 TL för två dagars parkering men på deras hemsida står det 30TL för två dagars parkering. fick fråga för simhallen då väljer de 50 € istället för 15 TL som de har skrivit på deras hemsida.

Отель неплохой, но шумный и не комфортный.

Небольшой отель на шумной торговой улице в 5 минутах ходьбы от конечной станции метро, ведущего в аэропорт Ататюрк. Пешком до центральных мечетей около 30 минут. Жили на 2-м этаже, где поздно вечером регулярно шумела большая семейная компания. Душем пользоваться было невозможно - заливало ванную комнату. Разрешили оставить вещи после 12.00. В отель запрещено проносить продукты питания для еды. Завтраки неплохие, сладостей мало, омлет за отдельные деньги. Также было включено посещение бассейна (очень маленький), а сауна и хамам - за отдельную плату. Персонал доброжелательный. Желания вернуться сюда нет.

5 star staff at 2 star hotel

It's a hotel desperately needs maintenance. Staff members are amazing and made our stay enjoyable. Especially thanks to restaurant staff Zeynep, Ilhan and Emin. All amazing people. Room cleaners also so good and they did their best. Hotel claims they have swimming pool but I can't call that way unfortunately. Swimming pool was dirty, cold and very very small with unwelcoming atmosphere.
