Reviews
We checked in quickly even though we arrived at 7 AM, and didn't have to pay anything extra. The triple room was very small but warm; the administrator turned on the heating right away, and the radiator worked really well, drying our clothes instantly.
The shower and toilet were clean, and they provided shampoo, shower gel, and two small bars of soap. The room was cleaned thoroughly; the bed was made, cups were washed, and towels were changed.
Now, about breakfast: on the first day, there was an unpleasant incident. There was no milk for breakfast, but there were cereals. I asked them to buy milk because my child only eats cereal with milk. They promised they would, but after waiting half an hour, no one moved to buy it, even though the store was right across the street. I had to go buy it myself. They did reimburse me, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Then, a kitchen staff member and the administrator had a loud argument, which I gathered was about my complaint. It was unpleasant to be a part of someone else's argument; they could have resolved things more calmly. The breakfasts were meager: cheese, sausage, jam, eggs, cereal, coffee/tea.
The soundproofing is very poor; it's as if the walls are made of cardboard. You can hear all conversations, and in the mornings, one of the staff members would sing loudly, disturbing everyone's sleep throughout the hotel.
The location is a big plus for this hotel, as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and the Grand Bazaar are all nearby. I also liked the room price, but the service and attitude towards guests definitely need improvement! Thank you for hosting us.
The second day were our beds not made, just closed. The location is perfect, very silent but we could hear every person walking and talking in the hall or at the reception.
The breakfast was a buffet. The first 2 days we were the only guests in the hotel, so the second day we got the leftovers from the previous day (vegetables, sweet, the same dish without the few pieces we ate).
The staff and owner were very friendly and helpfull.
Our trip was in January. For the reduced price that we paid it was ok.
place is good
and location is perfect
breakfast is ok too
