Cumbali Plaza Hotel Istanbul, Istanbul

The hotel is conveniently located but difficult to access the nearest Metro and main Gumhouria street due to a challenging hill climb. The rooms were tidy and clean, despite some issues with canalization smell and being old with a poor view. The service was caring and helpful overall, although there were inconsistencies in business interactions. The dining options were limited and not up to hygiene standards. The facilities were fair enough, with some room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently close to Taksim Square but challenging to access public transport due to a steep hill nearby. The area is predominantly industrial, bustling with car services. However, the hotel is near the city center, making it accessible to various attractions. The dining experience is acceptable but could benefit from better quality control and presentation.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, suitable for a group of 5-6 people, resembling the comfort of an airplane. The service is exceptional, promptly tending to all needs. The location, though not ideal due to surrounding industrial zones, is surprisingly close to Taksim. The dining experience varies from continental of good quality to a Welsh pastry, with overall satisfactory hygiene levels. The facilities are comprehensive, catering to various needs.

The hotel had a bad smell of cigarettes and was dirty, but the rubbish was taken out. The view was poor, and there was a smell of canalization. The staff was uncooperative, but very kind and helpful. The location required climbing a hill to reach the Metro and was close to Taksim Square. The dining options were limited, and the coffee and hot chocolate were terrible.

The hotel was tight but big enough for 5-6 people, and thankfully it was clean. However, the rooms felt small overall. The service was helpful and quick to serve needs, making the stay pleasant. The location was easy to access, though small with a lacking bathroom, on a modest industrial road. The dining experience didn't meet expectations, needing improvement for a 4-star place.
