Kafkas Hotel was in the middle of the city center, which made it very convenient to see the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, go on the boat cruises, dine at the many restaurants, and pick up souvenirs! The concierge was really kind and nice, made sure we were safe and they lock their doors at night, too. The rooms were recently renovated and it is pretty clean. Breakfast was free and included, which was nice! The elevator is a bit tight but we managed!

Üşüdük ama genel olarak fiyat performans yeterli👍

Şubat ayı başında konakladık. 3 kişilik bir odadaydık. Güvenlik olarak sorun görmedim. Girişinde oyuncaklar satılan bir resepsiyona sahip🙂. Odaya çıkarken 3 adet su verildi. Herhangi kahve, sallama çay vs yoktu. Yataklar yeterli düzeyde iyiydi. Temizlikte sorun yaşamadım. Petekleryanmadığı için içerisi soğuktu. Klima 30 derecede ısıtmaya çalışıyordu. Gece resepsiyonu ararsam destek alamayacağımı düşündüğüm için üşendim. Tramvayın geçtiği sokağa bakıyordu odamız, değişiklik açısından güzel ama 5 dakikada bir geçen tramvay erken uykuya dalacak kişileri rahatsız edebilir🙂. Araç parkı olarak sirkeci garının orada ispark var ama orada yer bulmak zor, hemen sonrasında demiryollarına ait devlete bağlı ayrı bir otopark var. Oraya park ettim. Güvenlik kamerası da olduğundan sorun yaşamadım ancak 12-18 saatlik ücret olarak 550 TL ödedik. Kahvaltısı 8 - 10 arasında açık büfe olarak var. Temel yiyecekler var. Az kişi kaldığından kahvaltıya indiğimizde patates kızartması getirildi. Bu güzel bir düşünce. Gezmek için geldiğimizden kahvaltı yapacak yer aramak vs. Bana zaman kaybı olarak geliyor çünkü. Cocoposlar bayattı. Reçel tereyağı vs kapalı yiyecekler iyi markalar. Sorun yoktu. Peynir, salam, domates, salatalık, haşlanmış yumurta, çay vs. vardı. Fiyat performans iyiydi ancak soğuk rahatsız edici oldu. Belki destek istesem ısıtıcı koyarlardı ama onların düşünmüş olmalarını isterdim. Bir de wc havalandırması ufak pencereden yapılıyor, otomatik değil. Yine de kalınabilir. 👍

Leider kein gutes Hotel kann ich nicht empfehlen. Es ist ein Hotel nur zum Schlafen sonst nichts. PERSONAL- alle sehr unsympathisch und unfreundlich Es gab keine Begrüßung und auch keine Verabschiedung oder nur ein Satz wie -DANKE das Sie da waren gab es auch nicht. Zimmer und Badezimmer wurde nie Sauber gemacht nur am Vorletzten Tag wurde sauber gemacht und das nur 1 mal. Das Badezimmer war verschimmelt und am Fenster waren Ameisen. Das Frühstück war immer Kalt und nicht bedeckt trotz offenerTerrasse es wurde nie nachgefüllt. Im großen und ganzen kann ich das Hotel NICHT EMPFEHLEN!!!
