Very good

Immediately upon arrival, the toilet malfunctioned. I was there for three days and there was no fix. But what’s worse is they did not give me a discount. Disappointing. The breakfast was amazing. Room was great otherwise. Amazing location.
No hot water, soiled bed sheet, bracken coffee maker no air conditioning room was very hot i complained that the ac didn't work they told me to open the very small window.ithe only good thing was the breakfast. And the location
Good location and close to attractions and tram. The Wifi is very slow and almost not workable so I have to use my cell data to connect to the internet. Also the taxi the hotel booked for me overcharged me to the airport. When I booked the taxi the front desk told me the charge will be a flat rate at 750 Lira (about $26) but when the driver dropped me off at the airport he asked for $35. I had to catch the flight and had no choice but paid him money. that is not honest and the hotel should not hire the taxi company.
Room is super small. My friend paid for the exact same room $105, but I was charged $192. This made me very angry. On top of that the room was freezing and they could not control the air conditioner. Very small room to walk. Bathroom super small and uncomfortable. They didn't even had a transformer. Definitely paid too much for this hotel I feel robbed.
