The stay was ok. It is a budget hotel that satisfies needs for a short stay. The room was small but clean.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
I didn thave the breakfast so can't comment on it.

It's surrounded by local popular restaurants and shops, but what I like most there is a mosque across Street from the hotel.
Excellent location and staff were friendly and accommodating

Practically no WiFi
The WiFi didn't work and when I said this to the receptionist he was dismissive and did nothing to fix it.

Nice hotel but area look shady
Nice hotel little small room but nice & clean, 5 minutes from Aksaray tram & bus stops. Area is little bit scary due to some other countries immigrant, for sure not recommend for family.
Avoid Fors Hotel, Istanbul – Worst Experience of My Life
My stay at Fors Hotel, Istanbul, was extremely disappointing and unsafe for my family.
Illegal Overcharge & Threats – Upon check-in at midnight, the hotel demanded an additional 3,000 TL, threatening to cancel my booking if I refused. This was an illegal and coercive practice. Expedia later reimbursed me, but the hotel has never refunded this unlawful charge.
False Entry of Child Ages – I correctly booked for my children (ages 15 and 14), but the hotel falsely recorded them as “1-year-old” in their system to justify extra charges. This was dishonest and unacceptable.
False Breakfast Advertisement – The hotel falsely advertised breakfast to attract guests. In reality, it was extremely poor quality: a few thin cucumber slices, a piece of tomato, jelly, butter, cheap bread, coffee, and one unhealthy local item. This was inadequate and unhealthy, forcing my children to skip breakfast on several occasions.
Unsafe & Harmful to Türkiye’s Reputation – The overall treatment created an unsafe environment and damaged our trust as foreign visitors. If such practices continue, it will seriously harm Türkiye’s reputation as a family-friendly destination.

Messed up our reservation
They have messed up our booking. We have booked for two rooms, three single beds each. One of the two we got had a double bed and a single. I'd say it'd be ok if we werent 6 friends.. Also the reason why they couldn't give us the room we wanted was that they've gave it off already to someone else, because we choose to pay at property and that's not a reservation in their mind.. (LOL) Other than they offered to change rooms next day but we've rejected that to have two rooms next to eachothers.
The rooms were clean, its been renovated a while ago but plenty of places its already ruined.. I would say its ok for the price but the lack of english knowledge and the attitude it makes it worse.
The location is not too bad, but crowded with weirdos from the city. There's a Bim( grocery store) and a Migros Jet in the close nearby. Also the metro station Yenkapi is really close so it's easy to travel around the city. Grand Bazaar/Blue Mosque is even in walk range, but we took the tram to get it faster there. One more thing to note, almost in front of the hotel there's a mosque and you have to be prepared to listen to the call of prayer stuff from there every night at 4AM'ish...

Fiyat perdormans indeksi biraz negatif. Akmaz kokmaz ama özellikle de kalınacak bir yer değil.
İlk tuttugumuz otel hic tekin olmayan bir yerdeydi.Hızlıca ordan çıkmamız lazımdı.Bu oteli tuttuk aksam vakti disarisi pek guvenli degil ama otel temiz ve metroya yakın.Biz memnun kaldik.lütfen otel tutarkan haritalardan cevresine bakın.Biz bakmamistik önceki otelde siz yapmayın.Fors Hoteli ulasima yakinligindan oturu begendik.Yardimci da oldular.
La verdad le pongo un 10 en todo, el personal son todos muy amables, tuve que cambiar de hotel huyendo de suciedad y discrepancia en limpieza y higiene y la verdad ese hotel para mí ha sido lo mejor. Muy cerca de todo, personal muy atento muy amable todo excelente, habitación cómoda y limpia.
No quiero más mil gracias por hacer mi estancia todo un lujo. Muy recomendable.
El desayuno es muy limitado me hubiera gustado tener más opciones para elegir café, bollería...pero está bien, no se puede pedir más.
Muy agradecida y mil gracias por todo.
