Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness, but multiple mentions of average/not very clean rooms, cigarette smell in at least one room and one report of no water in toilet.
Service
8.5
Generally praised — warm reception (receptionist Amin called out), friendly and helpful staff and kitchen/cleaning teams; however there are notable complaints about indifferent staff and poor organisation (e.g., mishandled Bosphorus cruise).
Location
9
Consistently highlighted as a major positive: central, very close to main sights, shops and restaurants; many guests say everything was within walking distance.
Room Quality
5.5
Multiple complaints about small/narrow rooms, old furniture, difficult bathroom door lock and dated shower head; some guests received larger rooms but overall room quality is below expectations.
Amenities
6.5
Some useful amenities noted (kettle and tea in rooms, nearby laundry), but issues include lack of on-site parking, aging equipment and limited in-hotel facilities.
Value for Money
6
Mixed: some guests cite good value and competitive price, others felt the hotel was not worth the cost due to extra parking charges and service failures (no refunds/explanations).
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast generally described as varied and good by several guests, though a few call it modest; overall F&B is a positive aspect.
Overall Experience
7.5
Overall impression is positive for many guests (excellent/very good/perfect), driven by location and friendly staff, tempered by room size, cleanliness inconsistencies and parking/organisation issues.

Если держать в чистоте ковровое покрытие, сантехнику и шторы, то можно было поставить твердую 8+
Pros:

Расположение превосходное, рядом станция Marmaray, пристань, трамвай, все достопримечательности исторического центра в пешей доступности. Выход на Золотой рог 5 минут.
Прекрасный разнообразный завтрак был включен в стоимость на Genus2.
Лифт, тапочки.

Cons:

Отель старый конечно, ковровое покрытие и сантехника. В раковине плохо уходила вода.

L'hotel mi e piaciuto praticamente in tutto , camera colazione

Cons:

Appena arrivato mi hanno dato una camera orrenda senza finestra mentre avevo prenotato una con la finestra , ho reclamato e me l'hanno cambiata però il richio di rovinare la vacanza è stato reale , peccato perché per il resto tutto bene

Though location was perfect but room itself felt like suffocating and derlict
Pros:

location

Cons:

The bed sheet was not clean, spot was on top of it. Pillows were not smooth at all. A dirty and unclean spot was right next to my room and window cover was not enought to cover it.Suffocating as there is not anyway u can see outside from the room. Though saif they would try to give me a room in too floor with view but ended up with nothing and yet a terrible room. I am so sorry but they need to look back to the room and its facilities. Thank you anyway

Pros:

Nothing other than the location.

Cons:

The photos and real room are completely 2 different things. Very dirty place with very old furniture and fittings. Dusty carpets make it more dirty and smelly.

Vi bookede et værelse på 25 kvm men den vi fik var langt mindre. Isolationen var dårlig og alt kunne høres både naboerne
Pros:

Beliggenheden var perfekt og tæt på alt. Tæt på Gülhane og Sirkeci station og masser af caféer og restauranter og butikker rundt omkring. AC virkede rigtig godt og man kunne hurtig køle værelser ned.

Cons:

Vi bookede et værelse på 25 kvm men den vi fik var langt mindre. Isolationen var dårlig og alt kunne høres både naboerne og ud på gangen. Der var et par pletter på sengetøjet og værelset lugtede af klor i flere timer vi fik det. Morgenmaden var ikke særlig god, det var buffet men vi fik det samme hver dag og der var ikke stor variation sammenlignet med andre hoteller i samme prisklasse i Istanbul. Det var ærligt. Til morgenmaden var der en kaffemaskine med flere varianter af kaffe og kun cappuccino med mælk var tilgængeligt i de 7 nætter vi var der og det samme med juicemaskinen. Brødet var ofte ikke friskt. Man kunne smage på salaterne at det var fra dagen før eller måske endda flere dage før. Det var meget ærgerligt. Der var ikke mange stikkontakter i værelset.

Acceptabil datorita ospitalității lor, dar camere urâte
Pros:

Mic dejun bunicel dar pe gustul turcilor, nu al europenilor....fără Mezeluri, omlete...

Cons:

Camerele erau sub așteptări față de pozele afișate pe booking. Erau sărăcăcioase , cu mobilă veche, lenjerii agățate ( rupte), mucegai în camere și baie, perne prea uzate, bateriile la baie ruginite, tapet dezlipit......cam nașpa față de pozele booking
