We booked our room at the Conrad Hotel including breakfast. When we arrived at the Manzara restaurant this morning, Mr. Fatih said we did not book breakfast and he would charge it. We told him that we paid for breakfast with our booking. He said no again and then said he will call reception. After the call he said we have not booked/paid for breakfast.
After that we went downstairs to the reception where Mr. Muhammed told us, like on the previous day when we checked in, that he looked in the system and that we have breakfast included. So we had to go upstairs to the restaurant again and finally another member of staff confirmed that we could eat breakfast (for which we had paid already!!!).

We ate here 6 days in a row while staying at the Conrad, each one of the waitresses got to know us on a personal level and were so friendly and caring towards our kids. The food was cheap and of a high quality. The ice cream is absolutely divine. Will definitely come back to this place on any trip to Istanbul. I wish I could remember the names of the staff, but I can’t. What I can remember is two of the girls that looked after us...
