I stayed here for 11 days in November 2023. Check-in was easy and the room was pretty much as pictured. Several things about my stay would make me question returning next year. While conveniently located near the Metro, it was very difficult to get a taxi early. I left a day earlier than my reservation to stay close to the airport for an early morning flight home from a hotel that guaranteed early transportation to the airport. I could not chance not getting a ride to the airport once again. The room was clean but housekeeping never once came to change sheets or towels, nor empty the trash during my stay. Speaking of sheets, both the top and bottom sheets barely covered the mattress and of course, neither could be tucked in. The comforter on top was small as well. The toilet lid in the bathroom was not attached on both sides making it shut at an angle, but the toilet worked fine as did the shower. To save energy the halls were kept dark, too dark.. one light would have been nice. The staff on the main level spent much of their time on their mobile phones and the couches in the lobby. Only a few of them spoke English, but then, I was a guest in their country, not the other way around. It did make it difficult to ask some questions about the area and transportation though. Overall, it was a nice enough hotel, but I will most likely look at someplace else should I go back to Istanbul for the same conference next year.
