Molto deluso

Non e stato per niente positivo , i condizioni non solo quello mostrato in foto , l’albergo ( se si puo chiamare un albergo ) non e per niente sodisfacente , la pulizia non viene fatto , anche con la nostra richiesta , abbiamo verificato che gli asciugamani erano lo stessi di prima . La colazione non orari , l’ultimo giorno alle 9:00 di mattina non c’era nessuno da servirci .Sincermente molto deluso quando o verificato che con quell prezzo si poteva trovare anche albergi con 5 stelle , forse non in centro ma andava meglio pagare un taxi oersonale .

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Innanzi tutto chiamarlo hotel è improprio non vi è una reception o punto accoglienza... "rivolgersi al bazar sottostante"! La stanza poteva andare (pulizia non eccellente) ma il bagno... dove era il bagno?? 3mq totali: lavandino di 20cm (dove non ti potevi neanche lavare il viso) e wc dentro la doccia!!! La colazione in terrazza sembrava da film: terrazza di 30mq con bacinella per raccogliere l'acqua dal tetto e il buffet improponibile solo uova(che sono quasi certa mi abbiano intossicato) e capelli nei piatti!! Il posto effettivamente è centrale per la parte storica di Istanbul ma a posteriori sceglierei proprio un'altra zona Taxim. La sera infatti li c'è vita ma i mezzi pubblici (che servono molto bene la città) dopo una certa ora chiudono e quindi bisogna sempre prendere il taxi... il giorno invece se volete raggiungete qualsiasi posto lo potete fare senza problemi.

Petit hôtel agréable et sympathique. Situé à proximité du centre ville il permet d'effectuer un grand nombre de visite sans utiliser de voiture. Son emplacement permet aussi d'avoir accès à énormément de transport en commun pour pouvoir se déplacer. Le personnel est disponible et arrangeant. Je recommande fortement.
