Rip Off

It was a rip off for $200.00 USD a night. The room was so small, cramped and little it was unbelievable. Then we found that there was a better room unoccupied which we asked for but it was really too late. Moreover the front desk receptionist , a male named [...]was sexually harassing one of the party until she finally reported him to the manager and the manager acted like it was a usual thing, dismissed it and did nothing about it. [...] This was a bad deal and I wish to have all of my money refunded on this hotel.

Suosittelen

Sijainti Sultanahmetin alueella todella hyvä. Kävelymatka nähtävyyksille. Aivan vieressä mukavia ravintoloita, joiden kattoterasseilta saattoi ihastella Bosborinsalmea. Hotellihuoneemme sijaitsi noin 50m päässä itse hotellin vastaanotosta, kadun toisella puolella. Sattumalta saimme huoneen, jossa oli oma parveke. Muissa huoneissa ei näyttänyt parveketta olevan. Huone oli siisti ja siitä löytyi jopa oma pikku keittiö. Liikuntarajoitteiselle ehkä hieman hankala, koska ei hissiä ja portaat 3. kerrokseen melko jyrkät. Aamiainen tarjoiltiin viereisen hotellin näköalaravintolassa, sillä Hippodromella ei ollut omaa ravintolaa. Hotellin vieressä olevasta matkatoimistosta buukkasimme paluumatkaa varten privaatin lentokenttäkuljetuksen hintaan 25€ ja tämä palvelu toimi myös erittäin hyvin.
