My Dream Istanbul Hotel, Стамбул, Турция

Aya Sofia Sultan Ahmed tram line Gulhane Park Sirkeci Aminonu My room was very clean My colleague in another room complained about the smell of smoking in the room polite collaborators The bathroom is very small, especially the sink Breakfast is good but it would be better if it was richer

hotel was great for my solo travel purposes. The room was fine, the bathroom though is tiny. But for one person, fine. The staff have a working knowledge of english, and are very helpful. Some travelers may be bothered by the tram that comes by often, but not past midnight. You get used to it, and it isn't that loud. Well worth the tradeoff for prime location. The place is super clean. When you clock the button for maid service, they make it a brand new room. I only did this once during my 5 day stay. The staff are great, but their english isn't strong, so getting explanations of things was challenging, but they do the best they can. They do overcharge for things (covid test was double the cost as the travel agency 5 doors down), and will also overcharge for them getting a vip "limo" to take you to airport (I was adamant that they schedule me a yellow cab). The room seemed to always be cold no matter how long the heat was on. It can be noisy because you are on a busy street.
