Otel rezaleti.

Otele gece saati girdik, odaya girip ışığı açtığımızda hamam böcekleri vardı, o şoku atlattık, ilaç içmek için su aradık yoktu, resepsiyona inip su sorduğumda, yakınlarda market bulup su alabileceğimi söylediler, suyu alıp geldiğimde, camlarda perde olmadığını gördüm, perdeleri dolaplardan birinde bulup bir şekilde kırık olan kornişe taktım, çarşaflar temiz görünmesine rağmen, çarşafı kaldırdığımda, yatak pis küf içinde ve kokuyordu. İki günlük rezervasyona rağmen bir kaç saat uyuyup, banyoda havasız ve kötü olduğu için duş bile almadan otelden ayrıldık. Sokakta kalsak daha iyiydi.

Rapport qualité prix correct

Accueil agréable, chambre suffisamment spacieuse pour deux personnes étant donné que l'ont n'y passe que la nuit . Espace sanitaire correct, malgré une isolation fenêtre moyenne l'hôtel reste assez calme. Personnel d'accueil et restauration à votre service ,petit déjeuner très moyen ... Après pour le prix avec petit déjeuner compris étant un hôtel 2 étoiles à 21euros / nuit pour deux il ne faut pas s'attendre à du luxe niveau finition mais pour les petits budget cela reste correct .

Sehr schlecht Sauberkeit ist ein Fremdwort, Zustand des Hotels oke aber der Zimmer Katastrophe überall richtiger Schimmel es stinkt, mit Kinder absolut nicht zu empfehlen! Nur zum schlafen wäre es gut gewesen wenn wenigsten keine Flecken und Haare auf der ganzen Bettwäsche zusehen sind ! Ansonsten sehr zentral gelegen!

Gutes Hotel in bester Lage

Das Birbey Hotel in Istanbul ist ein gutes Hotel, dass unsere persönlichen Grundbedürfnisse vollkommen befriedigt hat. Vor der Buchung war ich etwas skeptisch, da im Internet relativ schlechte Bewertungen über das Hotel angegeben wurden, jedoch kann ich denen nicht voll und ganz zustimmen. Die Zimmer waren im Großen und Ganzen sauber, es wurde täglich das Bett neu gemacht und neue Hand- und Badetücher zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Badezimmer wurde leider während des Aufenthaltes von 6 Tagen nicht oder zumindest nicht sichtbar gereinigt. Man bot uns zwar nach der ersten Übernachtung ein neues Zimmer an, aber mit diesen kleinen Makel konnten wir noch leben. Die Mitarbeiter des Hotels waren stets freundlich und zuvorkommend, hierfür ein großes Lob. Das Frühstücksbuffet war ausgezeichnet. Man bot täglich frische und abwechslungsreiche Kost an, sodass man mindestens bis zum Mittag satt blieb. Leider hatte man nicht die Möglichkeit im Hotel zu Mittag oder Abend zu essen, oder zwischen den Mahlzeiten einen Kaffee zu trinken. Einen Ausgleich hierfür boten hier die Restaurants und Cafés um die Ecke des Hotels. Das Hotel liegt in einer guten (zwar nicht exklusiven) Lage. Die Metro ist 10 Minuten, die nächste Bushaltestelle 5 Minuten Fußweg entfernt. In ca. 15 Minuten Fußweg kann man sogar das Historia-Shopping-Center erreichen. Alles in allem ein sehr gutes Hotel, einen kleinen Abzug für die Sauberkeit des Bades. Wir würden uns wieder für das Hotel entscheiden.
