Bad bad bad

Bad service, small rooms, the staff will not clean your room if you don't pay them 10 dollar every day. The breakfast was poor, it was old food and dry bread The location was bad. The hotell is in back street and it was many coffees for just men. You really won't feel comfortable to go pass them, specially late at night after 10, because you will be followed of one of them. It was my first time and the last in this poor one star hotell

In dem Zimmer gab es leider sehr wenig Licht(LED mäßig), es gibt keine Fenster die nach außen führen, sondern nur in ein Innenhof und somit kommt kein Tageslicht in das Zimmer. Außerdem ist es echt sehr hellhörig. Man hört alles von den Nachbarn, sei es das Gerede, die Toilettenspülung, die Stimmen aus dem Innenhof und auch den Aufzug. Das Personal ist nett. Das Zimmers und das Badezimmer waren ziemlich groß. Das beste an dem Hotel ist die Lage. 2 Minuten Fußweg zur Tophane t1 Haltestelle. 2 Haltestellen von Kabataş entfernt und in die andere Richtung 1 Haltestelle von Karaköy entfernt. Auch fußläufig ist man innerhalb von 10 Minuten mitten auf der İstiklal cadde (Der Berg dahin ist crazy).

Das Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen. Es ist sehr sauber und die Lage ist top, nur 2 Minuten von der Bahnhaltestelle entfernt. Sabah und der nette Mann an der Rezeption sind die nettesten Rezeptionisten, die ich jemals kennengelernt habe. Die sind sehr hilfbereit und man fühlt sich wirklich wie zu Hause. Das Hotel bietet die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem Taxi vom Flughafen abholen zu lassen, und auch eine SIM-Karte zu einem sehr fairen Preis zu kaufen.

Hotel turístico

Quarto extremamente limpo e organizado. Banheiro amplo, limpo e moderno. Disponibilizam toalhas, loção de banho e shampoo. Além disso, disponibilizam chaleira elétrica, café e chá solúveis de graça. Não possui café da manhã (restaurante fechado desde a pandemia), mas conta com excelentes opções nas proximidades. Só a TV que não estava sintonizando os canais, mas não era um problema, já que não entendo nada em tuco (risos). O atendimento certamente foi um diferencial! Os recepcionistas são extremamente atenciosos e cuidadosos com cada detalhe da sua experiência, sempre com dicas precisas, para que a viajem seja satisfatória. A localização é estratégica e próximo de tudo! Recomendo fortemente para quem deseja ficar próximo às atrações turísticas, como a Torre Galata, o Galataport e as mesquitas. Fica próximo também da Praça Taksim e suas ruas bem movimentadas.

Praktisches Hotel in zentraler Lage

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral aber nicht im Trubel des Zentrums. Sehr sauber und freundliche, hilfsbereite Angestellte. 150m zur Trambahn mit der man in 10 Minuten am Bazar oder an einer Schiffsanlegestelle ist. Wir waren 2 Wochen dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Für uns, wo wir die meiste Zeit auf Entdeckungstour sind, war es ideal. Die Trambahn vor der Haustür brachte uns innerhalb kürzester Zeit überall hin. Das Haus selbst liegt etwas versteckt, wir haben bei der Anreise zweimal gefragt und es dann gefunden. Trambahn T1, Station "Tophane" aussteigen, dann durch den kleinen Park und schon ist man dort.. Das Frühstück ist nicht spektakulär aber ausreichend. Alles in allem ein gutes Hotel wo auch das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis durchaus stimmt und das man weiterempfehlen kann. Nach dem wir öfter in Istanbul sind können wir uns durchaus vorstellen es wieder zu buchen.
