Mixed Feelings About the Stay

thin wallsbreakfast refill
My experience wasn't the best. The walls felt paper-thin and I could hear my neighbors talking and even snoring! It was hard to get a good night's sleep. the breakfast ran out early one morning. I wish they had refilled it more promptly.

Acceptable Stay with Disappointing Aspects

helpful staffbroken air conditionernon-functional telephones
The reception staff, including Mr Izzat, Arif, and Rajab, were helpful and understanding.
The air conditioner kept switching off, so I slept in the heat. Telephones did not work. They are there for decoration. Hair dryers did not work either. There were no ironing facilities, despite the listing stating there were.

ok hotel near transportation

handy tramgood breakfastcentral attractionrough sheetsbathroom moldunchanged towel
the hotel is near the tram, useful for getting to places. many attractions like hagia sophia are within 15 minutes by walking. the breakfast offers enough options.
the sheets felt thin and rough, so i wasn't super comfortable. some corners in the bathrooms had mold, a big issue. the towels was not changed, a big disappointment.
