We had two standard double rooms booked, and upon arrival on the first night we were told that we have to stay in twin rooms as there is no double rooms available for that night even though it was pre-booked and the rest of the nights would be normal, so our first morning we had to rush and pack everything up again and wait for our originally booked rooms to be done which delayed us from leaving for our activities. One of the rooms had an unpleasant smell, and breakfast range was very limited so we only had breakfast for one morning out of the 5. Shower curtain is pretty small and kind of useless as a considerable amount of water still managed to spill onto the bathroom floor. Staff were decent and kind but on the last day we faced an inconvenience where the toilet flush had suddenly stopped working in my parents room and my mum has incontinence issues, when this was raised to the staff, they said there was nothing they could do except that theres a toilet downstairs which wasn't very helpful and uncomfortable as they couldn’t easily access the toilets when needed and due to the lack of privacy, this led to them resorting to use my room's toilet, luckily this was only the last night otherwise it would’ve been extremely difficult for both my parents and my husband and I. Also to note we could often smell cigarettes.

Nice staff. parking lot was adjacent and super cheap (200 Turkish liradan per day - same as the hourly rate just up the ill). Free breakfast. The building is a bit dated, but with a rate like that, super cheap, could not complain as it was near the water (Kumkapi), and within all the places we wanted to see (Museums just up the hill and to the east.... I would recommend this place I would.
