We went the river hotel for 6 nights, we really liked it because everything was clean, and the staff was very friendly, especially the receptionists, the breakfast was very good and there were multiple varieties. Its located near the train station so it was very easy transportation, we will visit again.

Issues from start. First they don't have parking (even though they say there is valet parking) none at all. You have to find parking yourself. I found 15 min walk from hotel for 600 tl. AC is not working. (They changed our room) it wasn't working there either. Bathroom smells bad. Had to keep windows open. Breakfast included but you have to pay extra for omlet. Stayed two nights was terrible. Would not suggest to anyone.

Booked for 3 single bed, on arrival no room were available, looked for new hotel but unfortunately no luck, then we were given a tiny room with 2 beds, I hade to sleep on the floor, you could hardly get in to the shower, it was so small and very old and rusty, very very basic breakfast, the beds were very dirty and old and very uncomfortable, hardly sleep the 4 nights we stayed. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.

Yoshiko

Disliked: Amenities
良かった点は、トラムのアクサライ駅がすぐ近い事、ハヴァイストバスの乗り場にもまあまあ近い事。 ただ、ホテルの情報が間違っているのか、空港シャトルは基本無い。歩くのが少し困難なので帰りのシャトルを頼んだらハヴァイストバスを使う方がいいと勧められたし、一台片道20ユーロのはずが、1人20ユーロと言われた。同乗者が他に集まれば2人で20ユーロでいいと言われたが、ホテル内で宿泊客をあまり見かけないのでそれは無理と諦めて帰りもハヴァイストバスを使った。 あるはずのセーフティボックスは無いし、グラスもツインルームなのに１つしか無い。トイレットペーパーは巻きが少ないので2つあるがすぐに無くなるし、ティッシュペーパーも無い。こんなに狭いバスルームは初めて見るし、シャワーブースて身体を洗うとガラスの壁にぶつかるし、スライドドアからシャワーの水が漏れて床が水浸しになる。 高評価のはずの朝食は品数がとても少なく、2泊ともメニューが同じ。ジャムやバターがカウンターを覆うほど並んでいるのにパンは1種類で乾燥しない様にプラスチックボックスに入っている。レンズ豆のスープが美味しいだけだった。 スルタンアフメット行きの11番のハヴァイストバスに乗ってバス停に近いホテルを予約していたところ、直前にこのバスが運休していることを知り、急遽、12番のアクサライ行きのバスにに変更して、ホテルも変更せざるを得なかったがもっと下調べが出来れば良かったと後悔している。 宿泊費は安いので、コスパ面では良いかも知れない。多くを求めてはいけないが、残念な宿泊になった。
