Great location and value for money

Pros: Has an excellent location. Near Publix transportation and some of the main attractions of Istanbul. The staff from the reception was exceptional, always helpful and kind. The breakfast was nice, the have some variety.

Cons: The aroma used to clean the floors is was too strong, leaving a floral perfume smell that gave me a stuffy nose and headache the first night. I asked if they could stop using this scent on our room but really didnt find much difference, the smell was present every day after the room had been made. Also in the bathroom there was some sewage smell, even though it looked very clean, and there was some black spots on the corners of the shower floors that might have been mold. The room was a bit warm for my taste and the AC didn’t have the cold option enabled, even though we opened the window during the day, the room was kinda stuffy.
