Pros:

Gute Lage

Cons:

Wenn man von Booking.com ein Zimmer Upgrade bekommt von Einzelzimmer auf Doppel-/Zweibettzimmer dann sollte das vom Hotel auch umgesetzt werden!!! Stattdessen war der Rezeptionist sehr unhöflich und ich musste mit dem EZ vorlieb nehmen. Da ich seit Jahren 1 bis 2 Mal jährlich in diesem Hotel absteige, habe ich es ausnahmsweise akzeptiert. Ob ich künftig dieses Hotel wählen werde?!?!

Good low cost stay in the heart of Istanbul
Pros:

Good communication with the staff. No English language but we go on. Parking for the bike was promised in the near premises but at the end it was parked in front of the hotel. I was worried but luckily no issues. Place is nice, rooms are tiny. The staff from accross the street were nice. Breakfast was good, coffee, juice and eggs didn't disappoint.

Cons:

The place seems to be rather used-looking. The Emek sign was down, missed it the first time around.
