Ikke for familier

Rommet var ganske bra. Men hostellet hadde ingen resepsjon, bare en mann som satt i baren med PC-en sin. Ikke et hyggelig sted å være dersom du er på utkikk etter et rolig sted å overnatte med familien din. Var ikke mye støy om natta, men for å komme på rommet måtte man gå mellom en bunch av folk som hadde det gøy og røyka vannpipe..

Veldig sentralt og enkelt hostel.

Et greit og enkelt hostel, som ligger VELDIG sentralt. Ikke renslige rom, men overkommelig til den prisen man betaler. Passer for dem som ikke krever mye og vil bo sentralt. De som jobbet der som veldig hyggelige og ga oss masse tips om byen.

Lying cheating noisy crowded smelly place

They LIE by saying: 1) room size is 215 sqft - its less than half that size! 2) LCD tv with satellite chanels in room - there was none, not even a small old fashioned b/w tv that every other hotel had all over Turkey in our 1 month of travel there. 3)deep soaking bath tub - haha, what a joke!!!! - the bath area was soooo small u couldn't even raise ur arms in there. They say all these facilities/Inclusions to cheat and trap travellers who will believe/trust and book n pay online and when u reach, they have nothing that you paid for. So basically outright cheating. Right from checkin to checkout there is no staff around without having to wait. Place is on a noisy street, noisy by tourists in the night n by tourist buses/cars by morning. No visible signboard so hard to find. Internet doesnt reach in rooms. Bad dirty smell comes if you open the window. Toilet area is sooo small that you have to put your cheek and ear to the wall in front to be able to seat yourself!! Everytime you come and go you get pressurised to eat there - as if to save them from starvation!!!! No access space to the place - so if you have kids or baggage or whatever you have to squueze through tables n people n hookas that line the street in front. We found much better place in the area for much better price in the next days just by walking around - with LCD tv n satellite chanels (not that we used it), a fridge, much bigger shower toilet, more quiet n friendly available staff,elevator, better breakfast

Sehr zentral !

Also das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen nur 30 Minuten fahrt vom Flughafen Atatürk entfernt. Es ist nix für kleine Kinder da es in einer sehr belebten Straße ist und es erst um vier morgens Stil wird... Das Personal ist super net und preis Leistung ist auch okay, zum schlafen reicht es absolut da man eh nur unterwegs ist.

Нормальны мини-отель

Первые три дня нас поселили не в том номере, который мы бронировали на фото. Номер был 8 квадратных метров весь. Двум людям было в нем тесновато. Окна были маленькие, ванная комната тоже.После того, как мы об этом сказали администратору, он переселил нас в другой номер, горазда просторнее, с огромным окном. Большой плюс, во всех номерах отлично работали кондиционеры. Ключ оставляли горничной, она убирала номер хорошо. Были мелочи, сколы, обшарпанные потолки, но в целом впечатление от гостиницы хорошее. Место шумное, вся улица-это рестораны и мини отели, гуляют часов до 2 х ночи. Кому нужна тишина-это не то место. Администратор Ахмед крайне гостеприимен, общителен и отзывчив. Откликался на все просьбы и решал вопросы быстро. Для непритязательных людей это вполне нормальный мини-отель. Для тех, кому нужен блеск- отель Four Seasons Hotel за углом на соседней улице))
