My room was facing a wall that I could almost touch with my hands. As a result the room was totally dark during the days. No view at all, and had to turn on the lights all the time.

Staff was unable to communicate in English and they couldn’t even show us where the hotel was on the map. The breakfast was, in the best case, average. The first day they didn't even have butter and when we asked they couldn’t understand what we wanted. Bread was terrible. The room was too small and had a dirty carpet and... More

We had booked the hotel and a tour of Istanbul along with transportation to and from through our travel agent and it was prepaid. Check in was easy because we were the only... More

Our family of 6 went to Istanbul to celebrate my mother's 76th birthday. We spent 6 nights at the hotel in 3 rooms. Having read the Tripadvisor comments, I requested weeks in advance three quiet rooms, specifically not on Asmali Mescit, on the same floor and non-smoking. My request was unfortunately overlooked: : the first night , a Saturday, we... More
