Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was not an expensive hotel so not luxurious. However my en suite room was clean, the white sheets and towels were freshly laundered . The air conditioning worked fine, there was a safe, a fridge and a hairdryer. Had to run the hot water for a while but when it came through it was hot. The lift worked. Taxim Square was a short walk. A bit rough round the edges but good value for money. If I was in Istanbul again I would be happy to return.

Çok memnun kaldık fiyat performans

Geldiğimizde oda tertemizdi. Gıcır gıcır temizlik kokuyordu odada en beğendiğimiz ayrıntı temizliği, buz dolabının çalışması, saç kurutma makinesi olması, su ısıtıcısının olması , 7/24 sıcak suyun olması, gündüz vakti perdelerin çekildiği zaman karanlık olması. Oda ilk girdiğimizde soğuktu kalorifer perdenin arkasında olduğundan dolayı biz farkedemedik siz odaya ilk girdiğinizde kaloriferin derecesini 5 e alın. Onun dışında her şey çok güzeldi. harikaydı personeller çok yardımcı olmaya çalıştı beyoğlunu keşfetmek için harika bir konumda.

Sin calefacción y mal servicio.

Una de las peores experiencias que jamás he tenido en un hotel. Estuve allí durante los días más fríos en Estambul en los últimos 15 años (según ellos mismos decían). La calefacción de mi habitación no funcionaba y hacía un frio horrible dentro de la habitación. Ya que al parecer el problema solo era en esa habitación, pedí cambio de habitación pero no tenían disponible, así que amigablemente les pedí que me reembolsaran el dinero y me marcharía a otro hotel y todos contentos, que un problema lo puede tener cualquiera, pero para mi sorpresa me negaron al reembolso (incluso a los agentes de Hoteles.com a quienes expliqué el problema). Entonces pedí al hotel si podían facilitarme un calefactor eléctrico pero tampoco tenían, solo me ofrecieron una manta extra. Terrible experiencia y peor servicio. Con lo fácil que hubiera sido devolver el dinero ... Además el mantenimiento es deficiente y está más bien sucio, con moho negro en la ducha y el baño. Tampoco tienen servicio diario de limpieza de habitaciones. No recomiendo este lugar bajo ninguna circunstancia.

Never again

Akşam 10 gibi odaya girdiğimde kalorifer yanmıyordu, oda buz gibiydi. Resepsiyondaki görevliye bildirdim, kalorifer 20 dakika sonra ısındı. Ancak Ocak soğuğunda bütün gün yanmayan kalorifer nedeniyle oda doğru düzgün ısınmadı. İki yorganı üst işte koyarak uyumaya çalıştım. Ancak gece 1 gibi oda tekrar soğudu ve soğuktan titreyerek uyandım. Resepsiyondaki başka bir görevli basınç düşmesi olduğunu ve kaloriferin bazen yanıp bazen söndüğünü söyledi! O iki battaniyeyi 4 e katlayarak pantolon ve kazakla uyumaya çalıştım. Odanın sürekli soğumasının normal bir şeymiş gibi söylenmesi çok tuhaftı.
