高加索酒店 - 伊斯坦堡 Kafkas Hotel

The hotel was central to many of the tourist destinations. A tram ran past the hotel that allowed for easy transportation.

The location on a main thoroughfare meant a considerable amount of noise.

Clean. Efficient staff

Rooms a little under-lit and gloomy

Location, value for money

turkish breakfast not very suitable for westerns, staff had only reasonable english skills, thin walls, elevator not working all the time

Location was perfect, rooms were simple, but clean and cozy. Double glazed window isolated street noise.

(i) Paper thin walls, I could hear neighbor room on shower. Rom was in front of the lift that led to breakfast, from 7am a series of door slaming and guest chatting prevented me to sleep. (ii) Staff spoke basic english, having difficult to help with general turism questions. (iii) A mix up in their records accounted for us checking out 2 days before the real checkout date. After several minutes trying to convince them that we still had 2 more nights, I get in to my room to find all my stuff "packed" in my suitcase! It seams the cleaning lady wanted to kick us out of the room as fast as possible. I really did not apreacite someone touching my things and and trowing away my earplugs! (iv) turkish breakfest not suitable for western
