Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was helpful. Provided breakfast was plentiful. Room was clean but dated. I was on the 1st floor so the street noise was prevalent and the door slamming from the adjacent shared water closet was also loud and easily heard in my room. I am a non smoker and the whole place (lobby and room) smelled of smoke.

The size of the room was way smaller than what it is looked on pictures, I was not even possible to fully open a checked luggage to look for my stuffs. They don't let you get any type of visits on your room and they don´t specify that at the beggining or have that rule written anywhere, which was extremely inconvenient to me.

Das Hotel hat einen guten Standort. Wenige Gehminuten in die Stadt und zum Bosporus.Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel bzw. der Bahnhof sind auch unmittelbar vorort. Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Betten waren noch in Ordnung, ansonsten gab nur einen kleinen Kleiderschrank, der auch nicht standfest war. Man musste gucken, wo man die ganzen Sachen deponieren kann. Keine Sitzmöglichkeit auf den Zimmern außer auf den Betten. In der Umgebung ist es nachts auch laut, Nachtruhe ist auch nur bedingt. Das Frühstück war unbefriedigend. Die Bettwäsche und die Handtücher wurden täglich erneuert.Wer mehr auf Komfort legt, ist es keine gute Wahl, der lediglich nur einen Platz zum Schlafen braucht, ist dort gut aufgehoben.

A localização é ótima, perto de todas as atrações. Funcionários atenciosos, bom café da manhã. O ponto negativo foi o banheiro, a água vazava durante o banho, encharcando o piso. Passamos uma excelente semana lá. Recomendo

Well on first sight it seemed like a decent hotel, just by looking at the pictures. We were told on the Expedia post that parking would be available, we get there and there’s literally no parking so we had to unload our luggage in the middle of the street while people honked and got irritated rightfully so. As we get into the lobby and get everything situated at the front desk, we finally get our keys and head up to our rooms. The elevator only fit like maybe 2 people max while carrying luggage. So that was a bit annoying. As we get to our rooms, we notice that the owner overcharged us for the room. So my aunt and mom go downstairs to situate it with the man again, giving him the benefit of doubt that he maybe made a mistake. My aunt and mother tell me he started being very rude and snappy once he got called out upon the charges, so rather than giving a sincere apology for stealing more money from my family, you continue to be disrespectful and rude once caught. I mean other than those 2 things the stay was decent in the hotel. Other than the power outage that happened one of the nights we were there. The breakfast was decent, and overall if you’re looking for a quick night to stay in this hotel go for it but just be careful.

Loved the place and the service of the staff, ahmed helped us alot, and also another guy, i forgot the name. We liked that it is central and close to everything, cleaning was good and they had a simple breakfast for those who didnt want to eat breakfast outside the hotel. It isnt the best quality in the rooms and they are not the best looking/decorated rooms, they kind of small, but they are clean, and thats the most important. Overall i'd give it a 4/5 just because room werent the best, other stuff were good. We got transfer from and to the airport, paid appr. 50 euro, in our opinion it was a bit expensive, but we were 4 people so we shared the price and got cheaper.
