Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would never come back even if they paid me!!! They gave us a basement room with 3D mold growing thick on the walls and smelling so bad you cannot breathe. The window opened only 5cm so that didn't help. I asked for a different room at the same price rate but they said they don't have any other but they can offer a different one if we pay another 50£ (900try). When questioned the mold issue he just said that this is what is posted on the website. It was very late at night so we asked if we can just stay one night and get a refund for the other 2.they said that was fine. We checked out in the morning and contacted Expedia, but the support center called them and he hung up multiple times, and then they denied the refund. I developed a terrible cough after one night there that I'm still dealing with after 4days....also there was a lot of noise that woke me up every hour. The socket was also detached from the wall, and the sink was so small that you could not wash your hands properly. The bathroom stinked of mold as well. This is the worst place I've ever been in and with the thickest, densest mold. If I have an option to add pictures I will

Pas de service ni d’accueil ni de propreté ni d’isolation les fenêtre cassé donnant vue sur le quartier délabré et j’en passe J’ai pourtant voyager dans 11 pays différent dans ma vie dont la Turquie il y a 5 ans dans le même quartier et bien cela a bien changer la situation est aggravé

Rezalet!

Tek kelime ile rezalet! Temizlik, ilgi ve alaka her şey 0!!!! Bir kadının tek başına asla tercih etmemesi gereken bir mevki. Oda girdiğiniz andan beri rezalet kokuyor. Giriş yaparken anahtarımız verilip kendiniz gidin demekten başka bir ilgili göremedik. Rezervasyonu kahvaltılı ile almamıza rağmen kahvaltı verilmedi! Gece kokudan ve seslerden uyuyamadık. Resmen korkulu rüya gibiydi. Asla ve asla tercih etmeyin!

Unfortunately photos are not real and rooms much dirtier and more uncomfortable. Standard room is a small room on the -1 floor with very small window and very wet air. We asked for a different room and paid additionally. Bathrooms were dirty, and the area where the hotel is located is no so safe and calm. Staff are friendly and tried to help as they were able.

Berbat

İstanbul içinde gittiğim en kötü oteldi. Fotoğraflardaki gibi asla değil. Normal fotoğraftaki bir oda için rezervasyon yaptım gittiğimde bodrum katında, aşırı küçük, havalandırması olmayan sokaktaki bütün seslerin içeriye girdiği bir oda verildi. Yatak batıyordu oda leş gibiydi banyodan sürekli su sesleri geliyordu bodrum katında olduğu için. Çalışanlar ilgili ve güler yüzlü değildi. Gittiğime pişman oldum bir daha asla gitmem. Mümkünse bu yorumu okuyan hiç kimse gitmesin o kadar kötüydü. Verilen parayı zaten hak etmiyor ama bedava olsa bile kalınmaz orada. Berbat.

Mauvais rêve

On a réservé en fonction des photos sur votre site qui sont totalement fausses. Pas de tapis dans la chambre, pas d'internet, deux chaines à la télé, cafards au sol, au mur et derrière les tableaux, bouilloire dans les toilettes, pas de tasses ni café ni thé, toilette sale. Paiement 73 € au lieu de 71€, c'est super cher pour ce que c'est, à ce prix on a vu des hôtels 100x mieux en confort et en situation géographique. Taxi qui encaisse 75 TL au lieu de 50 TL, la compagnie de taxi a remboursé la différence sous forme de bon. Le réceptionniste de l'enregistrement était super et très professionnel, il a essayé de nous rassurer, mais si on n'était pas fatigué, on serait parti
