“The room sizes were a letdown, and the beds weren't comfortable. Breakfast left much to be desired, and staff shortages meant long waits. Cleanliness issues included dirty windows and unclear water. On the plus side, the location is handy for exploring Istanbul's top sights, and while there was a language barrier, the staff were friendly.”
