La ubicación y la atención del personal fue muy buena en todo momento.
El hotel está demasiado dejado para nuestro gusto. Las habitaciones son antiguas, las mantas que proporcionan tienen 40 años, los tubos del aire acondicionado por fuera. En general, en hotel necesita un arreglo para seguir siendo competitivo en la zona.

Легкая усталость номеров
the reception guy tried his best. that's it.
the list is endless. We turned up having last minute tried to find a place to stay in Istanbul, due to some changes in plans and needed somewhere in the centre with parking. On arrival we were told there was no parking (even though it is advertised on booking with parking). Then the first room (an "upgrade" as described by the reception), had dirty sheets still on the beds from the previous occupiers and we had difficulty with the entry key system. The second room we were then shown, was tiny. To be fair the young man on reception did try to help and sort out problems, but by this stage, finding a car parking space, seeing the first room, seeing the locks on the doors, the general state of the hotel, and being very tired from driving - we left. We then went and booked somewhere else to stay for the night. This hotel is probably great if you want somewhere really cheap to stay and don't mind it being run down. If cheap and cheerful is your way, then that's great and this might do the job (you might still be disappointed but hey - each to their own). False advertising on booking.com put us completely off this hotel. no parking, no clean sheets, shabby and run down - not what was advertised at all.
