Bricks Hotel Istanbul

Overall it was All satisfactory and they make every attempt to provide consistency and comfort for all their guests. I will surely be back again.

I completely agree with others that this is NOT a 5-star place if it still has that rating. It has a glitzy spa/resort veneer but the rooms/facility is shabby around the edges, the food is blah at best, and we had a disturbing staff event. A staff member tried to open our door at 5 am claiming there was a "mini-bar request"? At 5 am? With no knock just someone opening the door that was (thankfully) still held by a chain? Via the interpretation of our guide, the front desk person just shrugged, apologized, and said they would follow up with the person who did it. Not very reassuring. This place is designed for large tour groups (largely Asian) who come and go endlessly. It's quantity not quality with attempts to sell spa services (in Euros or dollars) whenever possible. The one good thing is that the location is convenient for visiting the local historical sites.

Overall the stay was good, but there were A few minor glitches, like the clogged sink, non responsive light switches, the faulty door lock, etc. The desk is too close to the bed, therefore hard to get around. The room and the bathroom was not as clean as my previous stay. Breakfast was as good as before. Service at breakfast was much better.

Nothing special
