This is thankfully one of the cleanest hotels in the area by far. It is ruined somewhat by the allowance of smoking inside the hotel, however they do their best to keep the area airy, and to be honest its just something you have to tolerate in Istanbul in general. The hotel staff are as friendly as they need to be, they dont make any effort to be any more or less than required, and seem to interact on an 'as needed' basis. But they are generally ok. Not too helpful to direct you or guide you to anywhere you may want to go in the city, and only useful within the hotel itself only. Dont book any excursions they offer, even with a discount, they are far far more overpriced than you will find outside, and you can also haggle outside. Rooms are made everyday, although we stayed a full week the bed sheets were not changed, towels were not cleaned and neither the inroom mugs etc, but as I say it was still a far cleaner hotel than the others you will find locally, and the rooms really are lovely albeit quite basic and so this is easily overlooked. Pillows were really high, and there are loads of them, so it would have been good to have various 'puffiness' to choose whats right for you, as we did get neck aches and ended up using our travel pillows to sleep with. What really brought the hotel down however is the Spa and the Spa staff. The spa is womens only between 10-12 in the morning and mixed thereafter. The hammam is nice but very bright so its not very relaxing. The pool was cold the whole stay, and the jaccuzzi had a 'technical issue' the whole week too so it didnt work for the full week with no indication they were even thinking of repairing it so dont get your hopes up if you think you will get to use that, looks like its been that way for a while. Also the music playing in the pool area was some hardcore rap music (i kid you not) that you would expect to hear in downtown new york, and not in a spa, swearing included. The steam room worked intermittently and on one occassion we went inside after a man had been smoking in there and it was a horrendous experience. The therapists tend to spend their time on their phones with thier feet up in the small changing rooms which is awkward, but whats more awkward is that they leave the changing room doors wide open, coming in and out constantly, so there is no privacy and everyone can see in, as the doors open onto the area where you change so it isnt very private at all. The spa manager was walking around on facetime to her boyfriend / husband / a male and sat in the womens changing area while I was trying to change with her phone facing me, and this is just completely unprofessional behaviour on all parts. Furthermore we were practically blocked and chased out of the spa on our checkout day - we had the full day at the hotel but despite having spent a whole week there and paid the hotel X amount of money, you are strictly unwelcome once you have checked out. We were sternly told we cannot use the faci
