I did NOT like this Hotel. Most of the charm is the location in Kaleici. But the actual hotel is not good. I would recommend avoiding!
Rooms not very clean: Firstly, the rooms are not well maintained or clean. The mirror in our room was covered in white streaks. And for anyone who uses dental floss, they know it’s the streaks from those white food particles on the mirror. Disgusting.
Rooms not brought up to current standards: I understand the buildings are often quite old. But with the prices being charged here (these hotels are not dramatically cheaper than what you can get for a mid-tier hotel in North America), you would think they would have appropriate electric outlets near the beds. Instead, we had to unplug the TV on the opposite side of the room to plug in our electronics. We stayed in 4 hotels during our stay in Turkey and this was the only hotel that did not have appropriate electrical outlets in the right locations (several locations, including beside the beds). I’ve stayed in similarly priced old style hotels and they at least renovate their hotels. This hotel looks like nothing has changed in decades.
Breakfast was awful: The eggs were watery, the orange juice was just some powdered crap. Given that this hotel is attached to the Seraser “fine dining” restaurant, I would guess the food would be half decent. But it was not.
Poor Hotel Upkeep: Several of the lighting fixtures in the Seraser restaurant, where we had breakfast, had power cords that were taped up.
