The room was so smelly and musty. It was super dirty and the bathroom was full of mold. The towels were yellowish. You get what you pay for, the hotel is not a good choice you are only paying for the area but the room was horrible. Breakfast was ok. Staff were nice.

es war ok
badezimmer zu klein und an einigen stellen schimmel
zimmer hatte keinen fenster
As roupas de cama estavam manchadas, o banheiro parecia mal lavado e além disso as funcionárias no café da manhã ficavam olhando e sequer levantavam o pé pra andar, dava até aflição

A grande vantagem do hotel é que está bem localizado, bem próximo de uma estação de trem e de tram. Está também bem próximo das grandes atrações de Istambul como Topkapi e Sofia etc. O café da manhã é mais voltado para turcos, pois não há muitas opções para estrangeiros.

Jättebra läge och trevlig personal . Det enda de behöver förbättra är frukosten. Det fanns inget kaffe tex , bara pulverkaffe
Och dagsfärskt bröd skulle jag uppskatta. Kändes som det var gårdagens bröd de serverade
Rummet var litet men fräscht 😊
Väldigt trevligt område med bra kommunikationer

Hay personal super atento y muy profesional (muy buenos consejos) y otros en cambio muy flojos (no se enteran de nada).
La ubicación es genial.
