Die Ziele meine Reise habe ich erfüllt: das Unterrichten vo Mediziner Schüller.
Pros:

Die Bereitschaft eine Lösung zu finden, da sie nicht ein sauberes und geeignetes Zimmer hatten!

Cons:

Das reservierte Zimmer war schmutziger, das Bett hatte nicht saubere und geeignete Bettwäsche. Der Besitzer, oder einer der Beamten, hat mich sofort zu anderen (für mich unbekannte) Hotel gebracht. Das Zimmer dort war etwas besser. Am folgenden Tag versuchte ich wieder zum reservierten Hotel kommen, aber dort hat sich nicht geändert, und bin ich wieder zur anderen Hotel gefahren. Ich fühlte mich so unsicher, das ich mich entschieden habe sofort zurück nach Wien zu fliegen und nie wieder zur solchen Hotels zu kommen! Traurige Situation, da ich Istanbul und seine Leute sehr gern habe!

Pros:

everything was good, nice people clean hotel good clean breakfast central location

Cons:

The only thing was the size of the room and bathroom they were a bit small for 2 people especially if you stay a couple says . And that is not in their hand especially in a city like Istanbul as there is a high demand on the space.

Budget, no luxuries
Pros:

Very nice staff! Reasonable English speaking, always available. I really liked the location, close to the main attractions of the golden horn, to tram and metro stops and to the Marmarail (connecting to the Sahiba airport). Although an individual traveller I rented the triple room to be sure of some extra space. The AC was working and it really made a difference.However, the room needs some repairs. A warning: the steeps are high, especially if you have heavyweight gear but the staff will help you if you need it.

Cons:

I didn't like that the receptionist tried to give me a small individual room although I had reserved and paid for a triple (I value extra space). After a lengthy discussion they agreed on the triple, a top floor room, very hot and with a steeply access and needing some repairs. I didn't try the breakfast because the room was so hot and humid that it became unbearable: you would need a cold shower afterwards to begin your day again.
