Ok hotel near attractions
The stay was OK, but nothing special. With so many other options in Istambul, you may want to try a different hotel. The condition of the room, common areas, and lobby was good. The front desk staff was on average OK, but not very friendly. The ladies responsible for the breakfast and cleaning were friendly and always had a smile on their faces. Breakfast was OK, but nothing amazing. The food in Turkey can be amazing so it is a matter of incorporating some of these simple and delicious things to the breakfast to make it better. Good Turkish tea and Turkish coffee with some dried fruits, better olives, etc. can make a significant improvement. Remember the n-2 rule for stars in Turkish hotels. A 5 star ranking for a hotel in Turkey is closer to a 3 star in other areas of Europe , especially Central Europe.
