Location was convenient except the taxi would only drop us at the corner and we had to walk half a block with all our luggage down a cobblestone street. The hotel had some additional local tax charges (about $20) but they said they wouldn't take a credit card. We arrived late and I didn't have any Turkish Lira. I got a little indignant and asked him why I can't use a credit card and he furrowed his brow, did some clickety clacking on the keyboard and then took my credit card begrudgingly. Our room was old. The carpet was old, the paint was old, the bed was on the hard, cheap side. The pillows were very flat. We couldn't adjust the heat above 22 c. The shower didn't have a curtain, which is the style in some European countries, but the spray wand sprayed water in every direction and every time we showered, the whole bathroom got soaked (including the towels, our clothes and the toilet paper which we learned to remove after the first time). The hotel was expensive too, about $170 per night. Not a good value at all.
