The room is small, old facility. Lot of dust.
Pros:

The only positive thing about this hotel is the location. Water pressure is good.

Cons:

Breakfast is not good, not much choice and not tasty i can say. Very steep stairs. Aircond is not working. No complimentary drinking water. The breakfast place is not as per shown in the picture, it is at different building. I booked 4 rooms, and we 3 rooms in 1 building, and another 1 room in another building. So troublesome, and breakfast at another place.

Nice stay in Istanbul
Pros:

The location is fantastic and the staff is very helpful. They managed to arrange a parking spot for us in a place where it is difficut to even move around. The food was ok and but the ladies preparing it were really nice to our kids. They loved them.

Cons:

The experience was nice overall. Except for an incident where we had a cat going around the main plates in the breakfast area, nothing was out of the ordinary.

Pros:

Nagyon jó helyen van, közelben több látványosság, tömegközlekedési lehetőség. Reggeli korrekt. Másik épületben van a reggelizőhely, az épület tetőteraszán, szép a kilátás. A személyzet segitőkész.

Cons:

A tisztaságra figyelhetnének jobban.
