My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms needed maintenance, the facilities lacked enough satellite channels, and the bathrooms were decent but dirty and old, smelling like cigarettes. The shower was in poor condition, the Internet was almost non-existent, and they didn't provide the password unless asked. However, the rooms were quieter as a positive point.

I stayed at the hotel and had a mixed experience. The rooms, though serviceable and well-equipped, were noisy due to guest sounds. Unfortunately, they were not well-maintained, with a strong cigarette smell, a dirty shower, and poor Internet connectivity. The staff was generally available, but they couldn't assist with specific needs early in the morning. The location is convenient for tourists with nearby public transport links, although a bit far from some main attractions. The dining experience offered a substantial buffet; however, the check-in process was inconvenient, requiring guests to leave passports at the reception. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel provided a range of facilities for a decent stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite being noisy due to their location at the front of the hotel, were clean and comfortable. While the breakfast table was lacking, I found good dining options nearby at places like Sahtin in front of the Haseki tram station offering delicious Syrian food. However, the hotel facilities need maintenance, and more satellite channel choices would be appreciated.

The hotel lacks maintenance in its facilities, with old, unclean rooms, including cracked walls, rusty wallpaper, and shameful bathroom ceramics. Additionally, the heating system is not functioning properly. The service, however, was friendly and helpful, especially the receptionist. The location is great, close to tram and bus stops, providing easy access to various places. The dining options, albeit repetitive, offer a variety of dishes. Overall, the facilities need improvement, but the value for money is reasonable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were large, giving enough space for all three of us, but they were really small and in need of better condition. The service was friendly and helpful overall, although there was a slight issue with getting guidance for purchasing an Istanbul card early in the morning. The location was convenient with good nearby amenities, but it was a long walk from the old town grand bazaar. The dining options were extensive and varied, offering a wide range of dishes, but the check-in process required leaving the passport at the reception until check-out. The facilities were decent, but some areas need improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms are quite large and come with decent bathrooms, though not luxurious, which is totally fine with me. However, I did notice that some maintenance is needed in the facilities, and more satellite channel choices would be great. The service was good, and the staff were cooperative, even remembering me from my last visit two years ago. The location, while convenient near the train and bus station, made it a bit challenging to sleep at times due to the bustling area. The dining experience offers a substantial buffet, but it can get repetitive after a while. Overall, the hotel is clean, the staff are friendly, and the location is excellent, while some improvements could be made in the facilities and dining options.
