Not friendly staff
We checked out and my friend asked if she could use the bathroom and they said since you checked out you cannot. Using bathroom was right after checkout was over.

Uma ótima opção de custo-benefício
O hotel nos atendeu perfeitamente bem, principalmente em termos de localização, ficando próximo da Praça Taksim e numa região central de Beyoglu, ficando fácil de caminhar para bares e restaurantes na região, assim como outros bairros como Galata e Karakoy.

Temiz Değil
İçerisi çok eski ve her şey dökülüyordu. Otelin karşısında bir bar vardı ve çok gürültülüydü. İçerisi çok temiz değildi. Giriş esnasında klimanın nasıl çalışacağı ve wifi şifresi iletilmiyor. Telefon dan tahmini olarak 0 a basıp resepsiyonu şans eseri arayıp wifi şifresi sordum. Klimayı zar zor kendimiz çalıştırdık. İçerisinde kahve makinesi var ama kahve kapsülü yok. Anlayacağınız beyoğlu nda kalacaksınız kalacağınız yer burası olmamalı derim.

Otopark biraz sıkıntılı
İstiklal caddesine yakın, konumu mükemmel. Temizlik ve konfor yeterli. Ancak otopark var olarak gösterilmemeliydi, dışarıdaki ücretli otopark oda fiyatına yakın tutuyor.

Buen Hotel pero le falta mantenimiento
El Hotel esta bien ubicado, tiene todo lo necesario, la gente muy amable, pero pienso que lo han descuidado de mantenimiento y necesitan mejorar el tema de la limpieza.
