Spacious and Comfortable Room

I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of my room at Smart and Simple Hotel Karakoy. It was not only clean but also very comfortable, with a bed that felt even larger than a double bed. The power of the shower was excellent, making for a refreshing experience each morning.

Delicious Morning Treats

One of the highlights of my stay was the complimentary coffee and croissant served in the morning. It was a wonderful way to start the day, especially as I enjoyed them while planning my adventures. The choice of nearby breakfast spots was impressive, giving me plenty of options.

Impressive Shower Experience

The bathroom amenities, especially the shower, truly exceeded my expectations. The water pressure was fantastic, which made my showers revitalizing. It’s often the little details like this that can make a stay more enjoyable and nice.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, which made for a very comfortable night’s sleep. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my visit. However, while I enjoyed the breakfast, it could have had a more diverse selection. Overall, the amenities provided great value for the price, though I found the Wi-Fi to be an extra cost that was a bit of a letdown.
