When we first arrived, we were told the hotel was next door by the staff sitting by the front door. Next door was not open or operational. So we stressed for about 15min trying to call reception. Then we asked the same people if they spoke English. They said no, in English. Then we asked where is the hotel and they said “here”. So not sure if they were first having a laugh with us, but we did not find it funny at all. First impressions count.
The room was ready for us, so that was good at it was 8:30am.
The family room is up a flight of stairs and the floor in the room was filthy. But there was a balcony and lots of space. Bfast was simple cheese, meats, breads, salads. But nice and sufficient.
The location is on a hill but walking distance to Taksim Sq train station. But I would not be dragging my suitcase to and from.
Would I stay there again? No.
