Nice staff. parking lot was adjacent and super cheap (200 Turkish liradan per day - same as the hourly rate just up the ill). Free breakfast. The building is a bit dated, but with a rate like that, super cheap, could not complain as it was near the water (Kumkapi), and within all the places we wanted to see (Museums just up the hill and to the east.... I would recommend this place I would.

(1) The staff was friendly, however please be careful as you can be scammed easily by the restaurant service recommended by their staff. On my arrival which was almost midnight, I was hungry and asked for recommendations for something to eat nearby. I was told the hotel provides a free pick up and drop-off service to a restaurant which provides fresh food. So after they took me to the restaurant called BEYAZ TURIZM TURKEY, I was provided with a really expensive menu and their staff was trying to sell me lobster for the price of £136 and some drink which was equivalent to £150 total for a meal for one person. I said no I don't want a lobster then he recommended a fish and I was not able to say no in case they do not drop me back to my hotel as it was my first day in Istanbul and it was late as well. So I had to agree and the total price I paid for the fish was £49 which is really an expensive price for a one person meal in Istanbul. The food quality was not great and it tasted so pale. (2) The hotel do not allow any guests even though I booked it for 2 people as my friend wanted to come and see me whilst I was there. (3) Breakfast was good but its same stuff everyday which I had to eat for 5 days of my stay. (4) The toilet is not well maintained and some repair work is required. (5) Location is ok and you have to walk a lot of up and down hill. (6) Staff helped me with an app called in drive for taxi as I was scammed by taxi driver on my first day.
