Boursier Hotel

Don’t go with the family first! The hotel has become your go-to, and no one even cares. The hotel has 2 buildings, one at a side street. I wish I hadn’t gone when they drove me there. I was very annoying from the rooms until morning, whispers, fights, noise, cozy cash conversations in the hallway...what I was surprised. Everything is so bad that handshakes are nothing

Bad hotel, bad smell, rooms are old and poorly maintained in my opinion the windows even without safety regulations (I overlook a Sun balcony that is not balcony). The carpet is old and unsanitary. In the reception live several cats that smell around their needs. The breakfast of cheap products inedible! Location away from it all! Exaggerated price in Istanbul are better accommodations at half the price

When we arrived, we asked for a slightly bigger room - they immediately sorted us out with a bigger room. The cleaning staff are really the nicest people about - every evening they would knock on our door and give us homemade biscuits amd they always made sure we weee stocked with the basic s - water, tea bags , coffee, toilet paper and clean towels. The staff around the hotel were all lovely. English isn’t the common language here, so maybe have your Google translator on the ready (Turkish and Indonesian) Lots of local shops and big shopping malls nearby ( though I would advise it’s much cheaper to buy from the local shops than the malls - has it’s over double the price difference); there are buses nearby; the metro station is a 20-30 min walk. Taxis will take you into the main centre of Istanbul ( 30 min drive); but the taxis there are very reluctant to bring you back - and they charge up to triple the rate of going into the centre. If you can Nazia gate the metro and train station - then that’s the best way amd cheapest.
