We’ve been twice in 4 months, I hope we’ll return one day!
Pros:

A second stay here in just four months. The first for the trip to Fenerbahce, and the second for the Europa League final. It was great to meet Unal again and have a chat with him. He gave us some good advice about which tram to take to Taksim and he was also right about how we’d win the final easily! I’ve attached a photo that we talked about from the previous trip with the giant Turkish flag. I hope one day we’ll return!

Pros:

Ubicación y el hotel en general

Cons:

Las vistas de la habitación, se veía al fondo el río, pero daba como a un patio. Ni tan mal porque era un quinto.
A la noche se oía como un generador, que nos imaginamos era de la terraza, que justo estaba en la planta de arriba

Most helpful reception staff
Pros:

We took a basic room, not expensive, but it was a great location, clean, and the bed was comfortable and the shower hot, and there was plenty of space. The breakfast was excellent, and the coffee good (not always the case in Istanbul). Best service staff ever. I have never before met more friendly, helpful or obliging reception staff.
