varied breakfast helpful staff corroded equipment rushed atmosphere
I found the breakfast quite varied. they had someone preparing omelettes, a nice touch. the location was great because it was close to public transportation. the staff provided helpful information. we were given an istanbul kart. I only had to top it up.
The bathroom equipment seemed a bit old. It showed some corrosion. the cleaning lady took dishes from my table while i was still eating. it felt a bit rushed. i requested an extra blanket and received a bed throw. it even had a hole in one corner.
