Golden Tulip Istanbul Bayrampasa, Istanbul

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were extra clean and nice, modern, and luxurious, but there was an unpleasant smell of sewage everywhere. The service was a bit hit or miss with some staff being nice while others not so much. The location was convenient for local restaurants but not close to major tourist spots. The dining experience was not good, especially with breakfast, and the facilities were average.

The hotel offers clean and modern rooms but lacks soundproofing on the windows, making privacy during showers an issue. The service stands out positively, especially Seyma from room service, though language barriers and hints for tips were present. The location is described as decent, albeit different from the website's depiction and challenging to access taxis. Despite a sourdough bread highlight, the dining experience raised concerns about food quality and unwelcoming staff. Facilities are scarce, with a small relaxation area but at an excessive cost.

The hotel had very clean rooms, but other aspects fell short of expectations. Despite the cleanliness, some rooms showed signs of neglect, like rusty showers and dirty windows. The 2-star rating seems fitting considering the overall condition of the accommodations. The spa only offered services in the massage room.

The hotel had a few issues with cleanliness and neglect, particularly with dirty rooms and a bad smell in the swimming area, but other aspects like the reception service were positive.

The hotel was very small, yet clean, and unfortunately had a sewage smell. The staff was attentive and helpful, but seemed keen to charge extra whenever possible. The location was not the best for sightseeing, being about 30 minutes drive from the center. The dining options were limited and expensive, with no variability. The facilities were average with no standout amenities.
