達如意曼酒店 - 伊斯坦堡 - 伊斯坦堡 Aleph Hotel Istanbul

Central location, size, quietness.

1. Room was very cramped, with virtually no room on either side of the bed.2. Seating at breakfast (very low chairs, converted luggage trunks as tables) may have been something near to Ottoman in style, but was very uncomfortable for eating.3. Promised transport from airport to hotel never materialised. We were stranded at the airport, but despite two phone calls to the hotel (who said the car was on its way), and making a placard with our name and hotel name, we eventually had to make our own way there. The hotel claimed the driver had been looking for us. If he had indeed been in the airport concourse during our ninety-minute wait, I think he must actually have been trying to avoid us.

The location was good for seeing the tourist attractions.

The rooms located on the lobby level were very noisy which made it difficult to sleep. The bathroom ceilng had a leak therefore the bathroom floor was constantly wet and we got dripped on when using the toilet.
