    I was not offered tea during my first breakfast that was included in the price. I didn’t know that and ordered coffee and paid separately. After checking out I asked personnel of the cafe to put some cheese in a fridge. For some reason he put it in a freezer. That was very surprising.

    Great location in a lovely area of Istanbul with lots of bars and cafes. I had a very big room on the 3rd foor and I had to use 2 elevators to get there. The breakfast at the cafe downstairs was good.

    The Bathroom had some mould on the edges which was unpleasant. The fridge in the room was out of function (like broken door or something, cannot recall) although it was advertised.

    Hotel is on a nice location, the surrounding area is very nice and alive at 2 or even 3h after midnight. Staff was okayish, cleanness is also okayish. Overall somewhat good money-to-value ratio, especially on Besiktas.

    The lights in the room would sometimes cut out briefly, but overall they worked okay. The in-room safe was not working properly (could no unlock it).

    The location of Ruby Hotel was very convenient for the tourist sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, it was a short walk to a main bus station. The room itself was a great size, included a mini-fridge with free water, tea, and coffee. There was a standing closet to store clothing. The bedside table had lamps with light switches next to the bed. The shower had great water pressure and warm water. The room included a radiator heater and an a/c unit. There was a TV but I did not turn it on to see what channels were offered. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap were included. They also had a hair dryer in the bathroom. Room service was excellent!
