Hamman sauna and swmig Pool where not open for 5 days it was a dissapoiting experience, but all the rest where very good !
The hotel is located in a narrow street off the main street leading to the Grand Bazaar and other tourist attractions. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We were given a larger room for the first night and then had to move to a small room (originally booked) that was not quite ready (no drinking water, no working A/C). The Breakfast on the 6th floor has a variety of food to eat (not much hot food). The Massage centre is NOT open on a Saturday. The hotel staff can arrange many tours for clients.
Very clean hotel,breakfast very good,reception staff very friendly and helpfull,very good location next to the tramway and metro,more than happy to visit again.
I booked the hotel with hotel.com and they confirm that Turkish bath and swimming pool was part of booking but there they asked for extra money and the rooms looks nothing like pics and this hotel is a not even 1 star ..first room I got was dirty carpets and asked for second room after sometime went to use bathroom and found someone's dirty cloths setting there ..

Ne pas avoir de chambres au -1 !!!
Hôtel propre, plutôt bien placé pour faire à pieds de nombreuses choses, propre. Cependant si vous vous retrouvez au -1 demandez à changer de chambres rapidement. Les remontées d’égouts immonde, donne une affreuse odeur à votre chambre ! Et les pièces du personnels sont à côté ça sens très fort la cigarette.
Quarto extremamente pequeno, ar condicionado não regulava a temperatura, ficava o tempo todo no frio. O box do banheiro é extremamente pequeno. A piscina é cobrada a parte sendo 15 euros por pessoa por dia. Tinha 3 diárias, dormi somente uma noite e procurei outro hotel para as 2 diárias restantes.

Das Hotel liegt sehr nah an der T1 und man ist sehr schnell bei den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Der Empfang war sehr nett, man wird gut umsorgt und beraten.
Das Frühstück war lecker und reichlich.
Otel genel anlamda guzel isletme sahibi de mukemmel bi insan bize çok yarimdici oldu kahvaltisi yeterli seviyede taze ve çeşitli restoranttaki Aziz bey efendiye de teşekkür ederim ilgi ve alakasindan dolayi tek sorun park yeri olmamasi genel anlamda memnun kaldik teşekkürler the merretto Ailesi
Das Hotelpersonal ist sehr nett. Leider ist das Frühstück nicht so besonders aber geht! Wichtige Information ist dass in der Nacht manchmal sehr laut. LKW Autos etc. vorbeifahren und Hupen
