I had an very nice stay at Bucoleon By Cheers in Istanbul. The location was perfect, just a short walk from iconic sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, while still being peaceful at night. The staff were exceptionally friendly, going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. However, some of the breakfast options were a bit disappointing, and I felt the room could use some updating.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at Bucoleon By Cheers. On one hand, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Kay, who made my visit enjoyable. However, the cleanliness of the facilities and the lack of proper dining options left much to be desired. While the location is great for accessing Istanbul's main attractions, the lack of basic amenities like a kitchen or a functional breakfast service was disappointing. Overall, I would say there are both strengths and weaknesses. 😕

My room had its charm, but I found it in need of some updates—there were stained sheets and some broken fixtures that took away from the experience. However, the room was spacious, and once I got moved to the room I initially booked, it offered a lovely view of the Blue Mosque.
