My stay at Hotel Genova Istanbul Old City was quite a mixed bag. On the positive side, the friendly staff, particularly Baris and Yacin, went above and beyond with their very nice hospitality. However, the experience was marred by a couple of issues such as the uncomfortable pillows and lack of an iron in my room.
