Otel rezaleti.

Otele gece saati girdik, odaya girip Ä±ĆŸÄ±ÄŸÄ± açtığımızda hamam böcekleri vardı, o Ɵoku atlattık, ilaç içmek için su aradık yoktu, resepsiyona inip su sorduğumda, yakınlarda market bulup su alabileceğimi söylediler, suyu alıp geldiğimde, camlarda perde olmadığını gördĂŒm, perdeleri dolaplardan birinde bulup bir Ɵekilde kırık olan korniƟe taktım, çarƟaflar temiz görĂŒnmesine rağmen, çarƟafı kaldırdığımda, yatak pis kĂŒf içinde ve kokuyordu. Ä°ki gĂŒnlĂŒk rezervasyona rağmen bir kaç saat uyuyup, banyoda havasız ve kötĂŒ olduğu için duƟ bile almadan otelden ayrıldık. Sokakta kalsak daha iyiydi.

Sehr schlecht Sauberkeit ist ein Fremdwort, Zustand des Hotels oke aber der Zimmer Katastrophe ĂŒberall richtiger Schimmel es stinkt, mit Kinder absolut nicht zu empfehlen! Nur zum schlafen wĂ€re es gut gewesen wenn wenigsten keine Flecken und Haare auf der ganzen BettwĂ€sche zusehen sind ! Ansonsten sehr zentral gelegen!

Gutes Hotel in bester Lage

Das Birbey Hotel in Istanbul ist ein gutes Hotel, dass unsere persönlichen GrundbedĂŒrfnisse vollkommen befriedigt hat. Vor der Buchung war ich etwas skeptisch, da im Internet relativ schlechte Bewertungen ĂŒber das Hotel angegeben wurden, jedoch kann ich denen nicht voll und ganz zustimmen. Die Zimmer waren im Großen und Ganzen sauber, es wurde tĂ€glich das Bett neu gemacht und neue Hand- und BadetĂŒcher zur VerfĂŒgung gestellt. Das Badezimmer wurde leider wĂ€hrend des Aufenthaltes von 6 Tagen nicht oder zumindest nicht sichtbar gereinigt. Man bot uns zwar nach der ersten Übernachtung ein neues Zimmer an, aber mit diesen kleinen Makel konnten wir noch leben. Die Mitarbeiter des Hotels waren stets freundlich und zuvorkommend, hierfĂŒr ein großes Lob. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒcksbuffet war ausgezeichnet. Man bot tĂ€glich frische und abwechslungsreiche Kost an, sodass man mindestens bis zum Mittag satt blieb. Leider hatte man nicht die Möglichkeit im Hotel zu Mittag oder Abend zu essen, oder zwischen den Mahlzeiten einen Kaffee zu trinken. Einen Ausgleich hierfĂŒr boten hier die Restaurants und CafĂ©s um die Ecke des Hotels. Das Hotel liegt in einer guten (zwar nicht exklusiven) Lage. Die Metro ist 10 Minuten, die nĂ€chste Bushaltestelle 5 Minuten Fußweg entfernt. In ca. 15 Minuten Fußweg kann man sogar das Historia-Shopping-Center erreichen. Alles in allem ein sehr gutes Hotel, einen kleinen Abzug fĂŒr die Sauberkeit des Bades. Wir wĂŒrden uns wieder fĂŒr das Hotel entscheiden.
