I recently spent a week at Darkmen Hotel 2 while exploring Istanbul. The check-in process was a bit confusing due to some discrepancies regarding my booking, but it eventually got sorted. I enjoyed a double room with a nice street view, although the room was a tad smaller than I anticipated. The spa facilities were quite nice and provided a relaxing escape after bustling city days, yet I found the breakfast options to be rather limited. Overall, I had a decent time, thanks largely to the well-maintained facilities and attentive staff.
