The photos in the online advertisement are misleading. It's not worth the price charged, as is 100% of the activities and products in Istanbul, which is a huge tourist trap in every way. The hotel needs painting and maintenance. The room smells of mildew, the amenities are terrible, the towels feel like sandpaper, and the bed is a standard double size, not a large as advertised. There's no temperature control in the room, and the heating is central, so at night you alternate between a sauna where you melt from sweating or freezing if you open the window to have a comfortable temperature. The pillows are also terrible. The breakfast is weak, and every day the food, like eggs, bread, and sausage, was cold. The only good highlight is the lady who makes the stuffed pita bread on the spot, hot and delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming.
