    The pool. On my eyes and my friends the pool was dirt. They said we could only use the pool with a cap. So we all had to buy it. And the hat was rubbish, it was made of cloth and was small. Conclusion they will only eat our money.

    I really like the breakfast. Everything was fresh and good.

    Bathrooms need major cleaning

    The hotel location, staff and restaurant are excellent. Unfortunately, over time, the hotel bathrooms have deteriorated and need either major cleaning or renovation.

    Nothing I can think of. The room pictures maybe made the room and bathroom look larger but I guess that happens all the time..

    Breakfast was awesome, very varied and they changed some of the items every day. Location is great from my point of view. The hotels closer to the historical district are way more expensive. Darkhill is located half a block away from the Laleli tram station (T1 line) which is 3 stops away from Sultanahmet -historic district. They run every couple of minutes during the day and maybe 5 minutes apart at night. It's a very safe area to walk even at night.

    When using the wellness area, the accommodation charges for the swimming cap if you don't bring one, but they don't warn you about this. Breakfast is poor, no significant choice, orange juice is $3 extra. The roof top restaurant always has different prices, the obligatory service charge is cash only and they don't warn you about it, the appetizers are only indicated at the end as being paid.

    The accommodation is as described in the pictures and the location is good. Close to public transport.The rooms are clean, the view from the roof is nice.

    The biggest problem of them alll was the internet connection, very low quality of internet. The internet Toilet flush was a disaster The view from room 3319 was horror and very noisy engine, probably the big AC unit of the entire hotel. The light inside the room was very poor, only 4 table lamps with a very dark light. The TV on/off button was missing and also one batery from remote control.

    We had a short 2 day trip so we were out and didn’t really use the hotel that much facilities. The swimming pool is not Muslim friendly meaning there is no modest dressing.

    It was nice and clean. The tram is right outside the hotel so this was really good as we could around the city without having to pay for mini cabs.

    No water or coffee/ tea facilities in the room. No iron available. You have to pay to get clothes ironed. Hairdresser and massage facilities were not available the whole time I was there. Breakfast needs to cater more to people with nut and egg allergies. Orange juice should be part of the breakfast and not chargeable

    Twin room and en-suite cramped but for the length of time actually spent in the room it wasn’t a big issue.

    40 yards from Tram line #1 which stops at the grand bazaar, blue mosque, palace and ferry port.
