not as good as on the photo

This is the worse hotel and it looks nothing like on the photo. I asked for a quite room as I am a light sleeper so they give me a room on the 3rd floor right below the restaurant. I could not sleep at night before someone moved tables and chair all night long. The room itself was very very small and not updated. There was an A/C but the smell was so bad so I kept just the window open. Also, the location is busy and anywhere you go, you need to go up to hill..

Thr room has very poor lighting. The decor red sheet at the bottom of the bed fell on the floor from 1st night yet they put that back on the bed instead of putting it for wash. I removed it and gave it to the receptionist. The headboard had dust on it. Wasn’t cleaned before we arrived nor was it cleaned during our stay. The room is small, very tough to open bags and move around the room. No space to keep luggage. The hand shower fell on my son’s head once and the shower room was also leaking making the entire bathroom floor wet. For $60 more, you can get a better hotel with cleanliness and more space. Our itinerary changed so we had to checkout one day early so they did agree to refund the 3rd night back which was good. Would I stay here again? Nope. Won’t recommend either.

Managed the basics, but little more.

The hotel is very simple. If all you need is a bed and shower, it's a good value. First the good – the bed was comfortable, the rainfall shower was nice, check-in and check-out was easy, the food at the rooftop breakfast was acceptable and the view of the Sea of Marmara was a lovely way to start the morning. The location was also fine. It's about a 10 minute uphill walk to the Grand Bazaar. Negatives – the room was very tight. We had to squeeze around furniture to get to the far side of the bed. While all of the rooms are non-smoking, we still woke up with our room smelling of cigarette smoke every morning. If you're very sensitive, steer clear. Maybe it was wafting down from smokers on the rooftop terrace? Windows open or closed and A/C on or off didn't seem to make any difference. The WiFi worked fine in the lobby, but was basically non-existent in our room. Staff was also a mixed bag, mostly they were very friendly, but one day, we were waiting for a tour pickup and our driver was a bit late and I asked the front desk if he would call and reconfirm our pickup time. His first response was to demand to know why I hadn't booked the tour through the hotel.

Das Hotel ist sauber, Personal ganz toll, hilfsbereit und freundlich. Haben meine Mama sehr herzig empfangen. Allgemein bin ich eher enttäuscht, weil die Bilder beim buchen nicht der Realität entsprechen, es sind auf keinen Fall 4 Sterne. Frühstück hat keine Auswahl. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein. Das gebuchte Hoteltransfer zum Flughafen hat nicht funktioniert, nach 20 min warten würde mir mitgeteilt, dass das Hotel Transfer nicht kommt, stattdessen wurde mir Taxi bestellt. Für einen stressfreien Aufenthalt würde ich es eher nicht empfehlen,

We had a nice stay and the rooms are relatively clean. The location is within 12 min walk to tourist areas. One thing to note is that the tram station is uphill so keep this in mind for older people who may have problems walking uphill for 5 min. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and the free breakfast had a good variety, the terrace dining area is very nice. Good value for what we paid.
