Hotel Boursier Istanbul

When we arrived, we asked for a slightly bigger room - they immediately sorted us out with a bigger room. The cleaning staff are really the nicest people about - every evening they would knock on our door and give us homemade biscuits amd they always made sure we weee stocked with the basic s - water, tea bags , coffee, toilet paper and clean towels. The staff around the hotel were all lovely. English isn’t the common language here, so maybe have your Google translator on the ready (Turkish and Indonesian) Lots of local shops and big shopping malls nearby ( though I would advise it’s much cheaper to buy from the local shops than the malls - has it’s over double the price difference); there are buses nearby; the metro station is a 20-30 min walk. Taxis will take you into the main centre of Istanbul ( 30 min drive); but the taxis there are very reluctant to bring you back - and they charge up to triple the rate of going into the centre. If you can Nazia gate the metro and train station - then that’s the best way amd cheapest.

Bıyıklı vale çok kabaydı. Daha önce gittiğim hiçbir otelde misafirine böyle davranan personel görmemiştim. "Arabayı ileri çek, anahtarı ver" gibi emirler verdi, sorduğumuz soruya "Git içerdekilere sor." dedi. Bu hareketlerinden sonra rezervasyonumu iptal ettim. Misafirini böyle karşılayan bir otelde tabi ki kalmadım.
