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

Check in war schon ein Problem, wir müssten ne Stunde warten bis sich jemand für uns gekümmert hat. Die Bilder im Internet haben nichts mit der Realität zutun. Null hygienisch alles in der Dusche verschimmelt. Einzig positive Standort vom Hotel. Sehr nah an Galataport.

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.

Schlechte Luft
Das Zimmer hat nur ein Fenster zum Lichtschacht, so dass man nicht lüften kann bzw. nur abgestandene Luft aus dem Schacht in das Zimmer bekommt. Wegen der Raucher unten im Foyer hat man dann Zigarettenqualm im (Nichtraucher-)Zimmer.

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.
