Nice place with good people. The area is nice. Metro right around the corner. Not a far walk for the tram to get to Hagia Sophia or ferries to go to the Asian side. Coffee shop underneath where you can order breakfast. Really good location with shops, restaurants, and bars all around. Really good spot. Highly recommend if backpacking.

The employees are generally good, but the people in the room don’t turn off the lights while working on their laptops and make noise, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

Oda yeteri kadar temiz değildi, tuvalet fayanslarında kıl vardı. Kahvaltının 9 da başladığı söylendi. 9.30da görevli kadın hem çay hem kahvaltının hazır olmadığını söyledi. Geç kalacağım için kahvaltı ücretini ödememe rağmen yapamadan çıktım. İlk kez kahvaltı saatinden sonra kahvaltı hazırlandığını gördüm 👎👎
