"Great location/ good accomodations" Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Value: 3
My family stayed at the Sumengen twice on our recent trip to Turkey: once for 5 nights and then again for 2 nights. The hotel is a little thread bare but more than adequate. We had the double family room. It included a small frig and A/C. The only distraction is that the Metro runs very close to the hotel but we soon got used to it. The lift was a deciding factor in selecting the Sumengen. The breakfast is very good and the staff are very helpful. The Sumengen compares well with the other hotels I have stayed at on my previous trips to Istanbul. We will stay here in the future.
The sheets and pillows leave much to be desired, the blankets are rough. The bathroom was not clean specially the shower, to use sandals to take the shower and not to take fungi in the feet.
The service and the breakfast are very good, the personnel is charming and kind!
Best the location closely together of the blue mosque and santa sofia!
