I booked based on the over 540 excellent reviews of this hotel. After spending 4 nights there I have serious doubts whether they are all real. There is no question about the kindness of the reception, because they are young and very helpful guys. But about the rest… The rooms are extremely spartan, towels are changed only if specifically requested. Cleaning definitely not daily. They only make the bed, which doesn't have a real sheet but a sort of bedspread/towel (not even clean) and you have to place it on the bed when you arrive. A single bedside table and a mini wardrobe where there is not enough space for two people's clothes. The bathroom was very small and without a window, the water in the sink ran slowly, it was impossible to wash your face or brush your teeth (we had to use the shower!!!) The monotonous breakfast was served in a narrow room, with an attendant who he stands just outside the window staring at what you do. A bottle of water already opened and filled with tap water is placed on the breakfast tables. The view from our room was something terrifying (I attach photos) and I wonder how they can talk about sea view... and above all refer to SUITE!!! The only positive notes, in addition to the kindness of the reception, is the location close to the monumental area with the most famous attractions, Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi. For the rest, really, no one believes that this hotel can have such a high rating and all excellent reviews. I highly doubt whether they wrote them themselves (also evident from the use of the translator which demonstrates several errors). Go there if you fit, but there is absolutely better in Sultanahmet!!
