No invoice can be given. Be careful!
Cons:

I booked this hotel and paid. But booking and the hotel refused to provide the invoice. Hotel said booking should do that, and booking said that the hotel should provide it. I am trapped here several weeks. Many calls, messages with booking and the hotel, still no solution. They are playing the football with the guest. It is really bad experience.

Minitrip Istanbul
Pros:

L'hôtel était à 15 min du métro. Les essuis sont changés tous les jours. L'eau fournie. Excellent savon Dove.

Cons:

Le personnel de la réception, surtout le soir, ne parle pas anglais et doit donc utiliser Google translate. Les tables et chaises du restaurant du petit déjeuner bougent. Le choix est médiocre, raisins vieux. Le personnel pas très sympa. La télé a des chaines sauf françaises. Le nettoyage est partiellement fait, café et thé non réapprovisionné. Oreillers très gros et dur

I visited Istanbul more than 10 times & stayed in diff hotels. It's my worse experience I ever had
Pros:

Staff service is poor. First, when I check in in early morning. Fully understood check-in time should be in the afternoon. When I ask any room available when checking in. The answer was "the hotel room was fully booked. No room available". I said, I'm not asking for early check-in for free, I can pay for it. So, the staff willing to check again and he found a room within 10 second. I wondering why he doesn't tell me the room available but need to pay for it.

When I check out, the staff ask me to pay for mini bar. I said I didn't use anything during my stay. The staff talk with her senior in Turkish (I don't understand what she said) and then reply me "that's okay" (she makes me feel I used mini bar but not willing to pay and then she waive the charge. I ask "what do you mean of that's okay" I didn't use anything so I decline to pay. Well, after that, I tell another staff that I need to call UBER and show her the destination. She help me to input the destination in UBER app. OMG, the address is wrong, finally, UBER driver took me to wrong place!!!

Pros:

Otelin temizliği üst seviye,bu oteli tercih etmemdeki en önemli etken. Personel ilgisi çok iyi,kahvaltısı gayet taze ve yeterli.Klimalar çok iyi çalışıyor.Bu otelle ilgili beni üzen tek şey yatak ve yastıkların konforu, yoğun iş seyahati ya da tatil temposunda yeterli şekilde dinlenemedim.

Good
Pros:

Nice facility

Cons:

The staff needs more understanding on local transport metro system. Everytime we were only offered taxi service, which was not understandable. We managed metro by seeking guidance from metro security persons

Great location and spacious rooms – but breakfast needs serious improvement
Pros:

This was our second stay at the hotel, and overall we were happy to return. We travelled by car, and for that – the location couldn’t be better. Everything we needed was just a short drive away, and getting around was super easy.

The rooms are very spacious – even with several large suitcases, there was plenty of space to open them all and still walk around comfortably.

Staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay, which we really appreciated.

Cons:

A couple of things really need attention. In both our stays, the bathroom had no working power socket. There was one built into the wall-mounted hairdryer, but unfortunately, it didn’t work.

The biggest downside for us was breakfast. The selection was extremely limited, and unfortunately, not much of it was enjoyable. For us, it was one of the weakest hotel breakfasts we’ve ever had.

Drinks weren’t much better – the hot water kettle was in poor condition, with the plastic on the spout badly scratched. It didn’t feel safe to use in its condition, given it heats up.

We do like this hotel and will likely come back again. But we hope the breakfast experience improves

Nice, comfort hotel..
Pros:

Nice, clean room. Comfort bed.

Cons:

Salty feta cheese (beyaz peynir).

Normally, white cheese needs to be soaked in water for at least 12 hours to remove the salt. I asked the staff about this. "We wash it. We don't soak it in water" she said.

I asked her; "How do you do it at home? Do you wash the feta cheese or do you soak it?"

"We soak it at home." she replied.
