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.

Das ist das schrecklichste Hotel der ich und meine Familie wahren. Zimmer schmutzig mit Kakerlaken und Schimmel Bett Matratze volleres Urin Flecken. Zimmer ohne Fenster und wie in Bunker. Nie wider in das Grusel Hotel. Essen voll vergammelt das Obst. Personal sehr unhöflich und Arrogant. Das Ganze Hotel hatte nach Kanalisation gerochen . Schaden das man keine Bilder Posten kann habe alles fotografiert.

Uma experiência decepcionante

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

Bem localizado, mas quartos pequenos

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
