Hats off to the Aprilis Deluxe for providing one of the best week's of insomnia we've had whilst on holiday, ever. The hotel is a 30 minute walk from the metro station.It was really difficult to get to, along a busy highstreet then down cobbled lanes, dragging the suitcase was a workout.It's supposed to be a 4 star hotel but I wouldn't give it more 3.Our bed was adjacent to next door's bathroom so we could hear EVERYTHING, flushing, peeing, etc. We could even hear chairs being dragged, tv, talking.The room doors don't have slow closers so people just let them slam. At 4am it wasn't funny! We had 2 small single beds.One of the mattresses was as soft as a marshmallow.We reported it to reception who said they would change it if they had another one.It never got changed.We couldn't be bothered asking again. Crucifiction would have been more restful.The breakfast was very basic, about as interesting as a dead jellyfish.The TV didn't have international channels unless you like Russia.Staff were friendly but had clearly been trained to sell,sell,sell.As soon as we arrived,they gave us a tea,sat us down and tried to sell us a package to book a trip on the Bosphorus with a meal and a show, 45 euros no alcohol,60 euros with alcohol,each.We had just ararriv.After travelling all day from 5am it was tedious and annoying.We tried to book it on another evening only to be told that it was “cash only”. We didn't have cash so we didn't bother.We did our own thing which was half the price.
