The stay at the hotel was pleasant, with some difficulties with issuing an invoice
Pros:

The ratio of quality and price is excellent. In relation to the price, the location is excellent. The hotel is located in a quiet area of ​​Uskudar (well connected by bus lines). Buses are very frequent and affordable. In the immediate vicinity there is everything you need - supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, fast food, pharmacies, hairdressers, etc. The breakfast was excellent. The rooms are very large and pleasant to stay in, the beds are comfortable

Cons:

Cleanliness could have been a shade higher. (Bathroom and bed were clean) but drawers, closets and wooden surfaces could be cleaner. We had a problem with getting the invoice that we needed to reimburse the costs of the stay. Namely, the invoice (with the correct first and last name) could be obtained by paying in cash (euros or liras). In the case of payment by credit card, foreign banks (in this case in euros) issue only a slip, and an invoice with name and surname is possible in that case, but with an additional payment of about 30% of the booked price. They had an explanation that it was due to some transactions in Turkish lira, taxes or some other fees, I don't know, it wasn't clear to me. I did not travel often, but my colleague says that this was not the practice in other hotels and countries where she stayed.

Not hotel its motel/hostel
Pros:

The staff is friendly. There is elevator. Location is good(few restaurants,bakery,pizza,market). Capitol mall is 10-15 mins by walk.

Cons:

Not clean at all, very dusty and with stains all over the walls. Dont even think about to turn on AC because it was never cleaned. Broken remotes,no kitchen, 2 spoons, 2 glass for water and 1 dish(we were 4 people). Outside of the window there were 6 motors from AC so it was loud as hell. Also no restaurant, for coffee you will need to go to the gas station.We left earlier from the hotel. For sure I wont come back.

Helpful, polite staff let down by a recurring ceiling leak and poor sound insulation.
Pros:

The staff were consistently polite and took problems seriously. When we were unhappy they waived the breakfast charge (EUR 7 per person) without being asked, which I thought was fair of them. The location in Uskudar is convenient and the room was kept clean.

Cons:

Water dripped from the ceiling into our room. Maintenance came and fixed it, but it started again in the middle of the night and frightened my elderly mother. They traced it to a jacuzzi in the unit above and repaired it again, but it happened twice. Sound insulation is poor: doors slamming late at night, guests talking and laughing in the corridor, and furniture being dragged in the room above. Cigarette smoke from other rooms also drifts into the hallway. The suite is open-plan with no separate bedroom door, which is not clear from the listing and matters when sharing with family.

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen - ein absoluter Pluspunkt! Man ist in 5 min bei der Metro oder paar Meter weiter beim Bus bzw Dolmuş. Es gibt zudem zahlreiche Restaurants und Cafés in der Nähe.

Die Zimmer wirkten auf den Fotos etwas größer.

Accommodation near to the Sports Complex
Pros:

The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful.

Cons:

I arrived late on the Monday 3rd August. I was unable to have dinner and through broken english I understood that dinner had finished.I was travelling alone so went to bed. On arrival at my room I found the window was broken and as this room was on the main road realised that sleeping was not going to occur. The receptionist transferred me to room205. Immediately, I noted that the safe did not work, neither did the bed side lights. The following day one light was taken down and not replaced the other light was repaired. The safe was looked at and a new code was put in, but again, the safe did not work and was not replaced throughout my stay. I had No house keeping for 4 days until I actually requested clean towels and toilet paper. On my final day I decided to have breakfast. This turn out to be a tray that would be delivered to my room. There appeared to be no restaurant facilities therefore no evening meal too. There were fast food outlets close by but, as a female travelling alone this was not a preferred choice. The toiletries provided were hand and shower gel and I assume conditioner. On speaking with Staff it transpired that this establishment accommodates hospital patients undergoing treatments for example cancer and also hair transplants. I would not recommend this lodging for a single female, however, as I was walking to the Sports Venue daily, this was a perfect location.
