Tipping in hotels (baksheesh)

Although the hotel staff often do not ask directly any kind of gratuities, but I noticed that the person who Ickramhm any amount, even when he came cheap, they give him special attention and treated upscale. Although some people against this principle, however, this was almost the norm globally. It wanted to get the Ultimate Service Fleurh some pounds on the staff of the hotel during his arrival at the rate of five pounds, for example, to see how the staff and answered all his requests. And overlooking all the disadvantages. As if a regular person will be dealt with officially not abused but not answered all his requests if the request to change the room will Amatalouna until the time of his release on the grounds there is a vacancy, and so on.

Secondly accommodation in a hotel or apartment in Istanbul.?
Of the questions that often occupy the mind of tourists, especially from the family of whichever has the best housing in an apartment or a hotel?
It is through my notes and reading the general situation there, I do not live in the best apartments for families and employers, especially in Istanbul, to the merits of the following:
1 level of security is very low and can not be the person to secure his money and his dependents in the apartments, despite the fact that a lot of brokers contend it is safe and good, but through conversation with some of them told me truthful to the contrary. This is in addition to the Saudi consulate does not recommend housing in apartments in Istanbul.
2 Many of the apartments do not have air conditioning and this may be a problem, especially in the air sometimes characterized by heat
3 lacks some of the apartments to the cleanliness and level of less than required for those who wish to live in an upscale residential environment.
4 There are a lot of problems in cases of contracts and insurance probably unknown to some tourists and therefore proposed not to enter into contracts with personal apartment owners directly, but with tourist agencies to avoid this problem.
5 Most of the apartments in the area of ​​dirt in Istanbul which is a very nice area, but that is unknown to some that this region is an area of ​​sewage discharge (dearest God everyone) to the city of Istanbul.
6 no apartments in Istanbul and found it in unsuitable areas, but it is popular with tourist agencies nor Asoukunha.
7 monopolize some tourism agencies apartments and thus manipulating the prices according to the market and what they want.
