Askoc Hotel  

L'hotel si trova in una zona centrale e molto ben servita. Inizialmente ci avevano assegnato una camera con finestra rivolta sul cortile interno, abbiamo quindi richiesto una camera con vista sul Bosforo e ci hanno prontamente accontentati assegnandoci una spaziosissima camera familiare con ben 4 posti letto e con una stupenda vista sul Bosforo, ovviamente senza alcun costo aggiuntivo! La camera era sufficientemente pulita, molto calda, confortevole e molto silenziosa. Hotel consigliatissimo per chi desidera visitare la bellissima città di Istanbul.

Stata altre voltre. Ottima posizione, strada tranquilla, vicino stazio taxi onesti, pulito, ottimo breakfast, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, camere con vista sul bosforo, terrazza panoramic view.Acqua calda sempre e phon. Ristoranti vicini abbordabili, dal turco all'internazionale. Ad un passo dal tram che collega adirittura l'aeroporto all'altra parte del Corno D'Oro, comodissimo.

Terrazza con vista spettacolare sempe chiusa, carentissimo il personale della portineria, musone, scontroso, non in grado di aiutare in nulla. Nessuna risposta ad un rubinetto che ha allagato la stanza!!! Si paga per usare il computer, e fin qui va bene, ma se si chiede perchè non si riesce ad entrare in internet, nessuno, se non dopo molte richieste, ti spiega che la "I" della tastiera turca è diversa dalla nostra. Per fortuna sapevo come si ottiene "@". per cui personale non helpful e sollecito. Nessuno in grado di dare qualche indicazione sui luoghi, vicinissimi, di interesse storico-turistico. Io non ne ho bisogno, credo ormai di andare a Ist. 2 o 3 volte l'anno, ma visto amici in difficoltà. Partita alle 5,50 A.M. , tavolo delle colazioni pronto, osato prendere un tè e rimbrottata dal portiere che mi ha ribadito che la sala per la colazione apriva alle 7,30! Fatemi capire il perchè di tale comportamneto che va contro le buone qualità dell'albergo.

La vista dalla camera

Colazione scadente-pulizia stanze carente-squallido

Posizione centrale comoda per le visite ai principali luoghi turistici, abbastanza economico.Camere ed arredamento vecchi.

Rumoroso...

Posızıone ottıma. Discreta colaziıone rispetto aglı standard della citta

Le stanze sıono un po tristi

Helpful staff. Let us look at multiple rooms. Free Wifi.

Not in area it said. Got twin room when ordered double. By building site. Breakfast selection poor.

The location

Ive seen 2 star hotels with better rooms. Still air. Used cotton earbuds under the bed sheet, cigared burns all over the room, carpet burns and stains. Things they could do better: Tv. Chanels- weird is the word Price: really? Many better hotels in the area and cheeper. Lobby is quite fine but they could loose the kitsch fake flowers and make mor money if you charge less for the water and other drinks.

Clean, good location and price, good breakfast included.

Our pre-arranged airport transfers did not show up, either to or from the hotel. We arrived on a very late flight so were not happy, and then had to get a taxi which was more expensive. The return transfer to the airport was booked for 4.30am and pre-paid. When it did not arrive at least the hotel rang a taxi for us and paid for it. Overall, very inconvenient and a waste of time for the hotel to offer airport transfers.

Good location, close to the tram and ferryboat station. The front rooms, in the upper floors have view of the Bosphorus, Galata and Golden Horn. Excellent 360o, panoramic view, from the terrace. Free closed parking. Free Wifi. Generally helpful staff.

Difficult approaching for car travelers. Breakfast included in the rate but it is poor with the cheapest quality. The rooms are small and relatively clean. Old and tired furniture and carpet. Spots on the floor. No safe in the room. The suite is not a true suite, but a 2 chamber family room (for 4 persons) and has only one bathroom. One chamber is totally blind and dark without window or balcony. We asked non smoking room and get smoking because all the “suites” are smoking rooms with ash trays and smoke odor. Bathroom fixtures are old and relative dirty. The sink in one bathroom was cracked and in the other plugged with hair. There was only high shower. No plug or hangers. 3 towels for 4 persons in the family room. The hotel needs renovation The price is high for their services.

Location is not convenient taxi could find a place, so mostly you have to walk long distance to the Hotel. Also noise in the rooms from other rooms, so we couldn't sleep at all. Finally, pictures of the rooms are totally different from the reality!

Competitive price, excellent location

The worst thing was that I was not given the early wake-up call I was promised. Other things I missed were a safe and a plug for the bath.

Location

The hotel is old, needs renovation desperately. We had a room on the 6th floor, room # 609. It had a balcony(tiny), but had a million $ view. We were looking at Golden Horn bridge, Galata tower, and Bosporus bridge. The view made us turn our eyes blind to other deficiencies in the room and hotel. The breakfast was acceptable, with decent varieties. The location was absolutely excellent. 5 minutes walk to Serkeci Tram Station. The hotel terrace was excellent for a happy hour beer, with a fantastic 360 degree views. Yes, I will go back. Ask for a room from 602 to 609 which faces the water.

The condition of hotel, carpet, bathroom fixtures, all need upgrades. The hotel claim that they have wireless in the room, but the router is at the reception and does not carry signal to to rooms. In the lobby, wireless works perfectly, and it is free. If you willing to overlook all the negatives and settle for the view, then this is your hotel. I paid $100/night, but once, it is remodeled, expect to pay for over $300/room on the 6th floor.
