While we were thinking about where to have dinner, we entered the hotel restaurant. Along with the great food, the service was also very good, we also visited the hotel and we wanted to stay in this hotel and we did very well. The rooms are immaculate, the manager of the hotel Miss Nil very involved in everything. All other staff were also very friendly. When I come to Istanbul again, this is the place I will stay without hesitation. The breakfast items were also very good. 🤙

Istanbul, Türkiye5 contributions3 helpful votes
One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The room had exposed wiring hanging from the walls and the air conditioning did not work. When asked them to fix it and after this was unsuccessful, I was simply told to open a window, perhaps so I could have the joy of hearing other people's working air conditioning while enjoying the sweltering humidity of an Istanbul night. That is when I wasnt having to listen to the lift outside my door telling me whether it was open or closed all night. I demanded to see a manager who was not there, and wouldn't be until after I checked out apparently and my demand for a partial refund was refused on the grounds there was no manager. Let's now move on to breakfast which was a selection of processed meats curling at the edges in the heat, tepid flaccid chips, and some strage spicy concoctions also containing processed meats and some melon. Everything else contained loads of sugar, there were no fresh juices, or real coffee. I understand that there is a predominately middle eastern clientele, to which this might appeal, however there was no attempt to cater for children or those wishing to eat healthily. The rooms were cramped, and bedding was also grubby Only redeeming feature is the location. A very unpleasant stay.
