Bad bad bad

Bad service, small rooms, the staff will not clean your room if you don't pay them 10 dollar every day. The breakfast was poor, it was old food and dry bread The location was bad. The hotell is in back street and it was many coffees for just men. You really won't feel comfortable to go pass them, specially late at night after 10, because you will be followed of one of them. It was my first time and the last in this poor one star hotell

Check in war schon ein Problem, wir müssten ne Stunde warten bis sich jemand für uns gekümmert hat. Die Bilder im Internet haben nichts mit der Realität zutun. Null hygienisch alles in der Dusche verschimmelt. Einzig positive Standort vom Hotel. Sehr nah an Galataport.

Hotel turístico

Quarto extremamente limpo e organizado. Banheiro amplo, limpo e moderno. Disponibilizam toalhas, loção de banho e shampoo. Além disso, disponibilizam chaleira elétrica, café e chá solúveis de graça. Não possui café da manhã (restaurante fechado desde a pandemia), mas conta com excelentes opções nas proximidades. Só a TV que não estava sintonizando os canais, mas não era um problema, já que não entendo nada em tuco (risos). O atendimento certamente foi um diferencial! Os recepcionistas são extremamente atenciosos e cuidadosos com cada detalhe da sua experiência, sempre com dicas precisas, para que a viajem seja satisfatória. A localização é estratégica e próximo de tudo! Recomendo fortemente para quem deseja ficar próximo às atrações turísticas, como a Torre Galata, o Galataport e as mesquitas. Fica próximo também da Praça Taksim e suas ruas bem movimentadas.
