Passable
Pros:

L'emplacement, les lits sont confortables, le climatiseur refroidit très bien. Ils ont accepté de garder nos valises lors de notre dernière journée vu que notre vol était tard et nous avons bien apprécié cela.

Cons:

L'hôtel est vieillot +++ et cher par rapport à d'autres hôtels à Istanbul. Ce n'est pas la première fois que nous visitons Istanbul. Le petit déjeuner mérite d'être amélioré (absence de fruits et de variétés). Le petit déjeuner n'est pas identique aux photos sur Booking. La chambre dans laquelle nous étions fait face à des immeubles en rénovation ce qui est bruyant ( sur le site que nous avons réservé, nous étions supposé avoir une vue sur la ville...) Le débit de la douche est très faible.
