City trip with 4year old
Pros:

The location is very good.3min walking distance to tramstation and the grand basar. Quiet neighbourhood and lots of food options and supermarkets nearby.
Staff friendly and the beds comfy. We got a bigger room on arrival for free. Hot water, heating and aircon working well. Breakfast room with nice view over Bosporus.

Cons:

The room does not get cleaned well.there was still a open drinkingbottel under the bed which spilled all over the floor.if you walk barefoot in the room you have quite fast black feet.the sink did not get cleaned once during our 4 days stay. The shower has mushrooms and the toilet seat was broken.
Breakfast quite low quality.

Pros:

slecht onderhouden, veel kapot in kamers en badkamer. luidruchtig snachts. matig ontbijt met kapotte koffiemachine die niet werd gerepareerd, dus kopje nescafe. aanbeveling personeel voor boottocht viel zwaar tegen. veel te duur voor wat je kreeg. ongezellige rommelige entree waar werd gerookt.
