Staff working at the recepte are very nice but it is absolutely not hygienic in the room, we had to ask the staff to change the bed clothes and it was never done. They came into the rum to make the bed and leave water bottles, so we had to wash cups with only water for a whole week

No problems here - you can shop on Iskatel st. or use the metro or take the underground train { in the metro stat. } to Kabatas and then get on the tram and view the Bosphorus strait- easily. Or if you are a hiker - head out and beat feet to the water views of the Bosphorus - 30 - 35 min - max. from Iskatel st. Check out the kafe's.
