Horribly dirty rooms. We arrived and we got given a room that smelled like cigarettes and poop, and had black hand prints on the walls. We saw a second room, was worse, then a third and the bathrooms were filled with gross stuff all in the corners everywhere. We demanded a refund immediately but because I had booked non-refundable through Expedia, the receptionist guy didn’t agree at first to give us our money back but we didn’t even stay for 10 minutes & the cleanliness of this hotel seriously needed help. Expedia was great with their quick customer service and requesting the refund for us. The staff at the hotel eventually agreed to the refund and we were out of that disgusting hotel.

The staff was very friendly and helpful but the hotel itself was far less than I expected. It was not a pleasant experience, I felt very uncomfortable in this hotel, but I am comparing it to hotels in the US. The breakfast was not what I expected and they serve only what I assume is traditional Turkish breakfast food. The only thinks that were remotely similar to a US breakfast was hard boiled eggs, toast, and potatoes. The coffee was horrible (I don't think the machine was cleaned in years), the tea was good, and the juices were all watered down. The hotel is not in a good area of town and to get anywhere you have to walk up very steep hills, or take a taxi. The free shuttle only takes you one way to 2 different spots which was nice but it only runs once and hour. The A/C was turned off and the room was very hot even though it was ~50 degrees F outside. The only way to cool down was to open the patio window and then it was very noisy. The view from the room was depressing and overlooked a large pile of garbage. The elevator was very noisy and could be heard all night. The power shut off at least 5 times during our stay. Horrible experience.

L'hôtel est situé loin de la place Taksim, à 20 minutes de marche. Pour accéder à Taksim à pied, c'est une pente assez raide. Sinon, l'hôtel offre un service de shuttle toutes les heures (:00) sauf le dimanche. L'hôtel est confortable et les chambres spacieuses.

Vi bodde där 7 dagar och själva hotellet var bra men det var uppförsbacke att gå till taksim och det många trappor om du skulle gå från trappor tills man kan komma tiil taksim . Frukost var okay. Städning var inte noga och mycket slarvig och gav oss dåliga handdukar eller dem byte inte alls . Annars personalen var mycket hjälpsamt.
