This property was not flash, but i absolutely loved it, it felt more like an apartment than a hotel, i had a baseroom room which was very spacious, cooking facilities, bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The bedding was something you would have at home not a hotel. I much prefer this type of experience when travelling over flashy hotels when I am out all day long and return late just to sleep. The price was very good. The hotel manager was very nice.

It was very easy to find and to get into. Clean sheets, comfortable bed, everything worked, we could easily heat the rooms. Bathrooms Were spotless. Price definitely had a good return. Highly recommend it. Great to ace ground floor rooms if you can't climb steep staircase of this beautiful Ottoman era stone house. Excellent location

Liar hostel
The photos are a lie. The room I bought is also a lie. The price is acceptable because it is extremely cheap, but it is very wrong to try to sell it to people with false information. The room cleanliness bothered me a lot, the place was full of insects.

False advertising
The property was entirely different from that mentioned in the website, there was mould in the room and no heater and no hot water.
I’m giving 2 stars for the old man who was working there and he was so friendly but only knows the local language.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming on the phone. We stayed in room 505 on the 5th and last floor. It was decent with a kitchen counter equipped with a stove, a sink, and a few cups and teabags. There was also a hair dryer, a TV, and an AC (and a heating system for the winter). The things that could be improved would be attaching a proper shower head holder, and completely closing the gap in the bathroom’s ceiling as it lets insects in. The bedsheets were washed but had a thin layer of dust that could be brushed off. Overall a good value for money.

They gave a totally different room than photos. Their excuse was that room couldn't be booked with such low price although there was just one photo in the website. I accepted the new room as I had luggages and didn't want to move. But towels and sheets was so dirty. When I asked cleaner lady to change them, she said they had just washed everything but those gray colors don't disappear. Plus, there was a few insects in the room. I could stay there just one hour and left after booking another place nearby. I accept that price was low but low price can not be an excuse for such bad service.

This is a scam; the photo there is not a true photo of the property. The building is closed, and there is a sign with a number to call. Nobody is in the property, no staff, no front desk. You text them before arrival, they never answer through the Expedia platform, when you arrive at the place, you have to call a number on the front door. They said help is on the way, but a man took us to another property because they said the room was not ready, so we had to spend the night in that room until the next day. The new room smells bad, the room was in bad condition, and the shower too, the bed was broken; we couldn't shower, and there is a lot of trash around the entrance. after we received the key, we went to sleep, 3 hours later, somebody make entry in our room, we screem so badly that they left the room. We asked the man in charge, but he couldn't respond. We got so scared, we want to go home. The next morning, nobody showed up to take us to our room i paid for

Berbat bir yer kesinlikle gitmeyin!! Hiç resimlerde göründüğü gibi değil! İyi yorumlar ya satın alınmış ya da fake hesaplardan oluşturulmuştur. İnanmayın. Biz gittik bin pişman olduk. Tuvaletten gelen kötü kokuyu mu anlatsam, pis nevresimleri mi. Klimadan çıkan suyu bir hortumla pet şişeye aktarmaları mı ya da neredeyse bütün duvarın küf tutmuş olmasını mı. Yatak kırık, tuvalet ve duş kabini pis. Havlu tuvalet kağıdı vs. yok. Mutfak berbat durumda her taraf pis. Pirizler nerdeyse tavanda, telefonu şarj etmek mümkün değil. Pencerelerden içeriye soğuk hava giriyor. Biz üç gün konaklayacaktık.. İstanbul’a gece vardığımız için bir geceyi mecbur burada geçirdik ama inanın ceketlerimiz ve ayakkabılarımızla yatakta uyuduk. Ha tabi o kötü kokuları almamak için burnumuza maske taktık ama nafile. Öyle pis, iğrenc ve korkunç bir yerdi. Apartmana bakan kişiye şikayetlerimizi bildirince ilk defa duyuyormuş gibi davrandı terbiyesiz. Kalmadığımız iki gecenin parasını geri alamadık. Az para vermiyoruz o paraları alkole vereceğine apartmanı yaşanacak bir yere çevirebilir. İstanbul’da güzel vakit geçirmek istiyorsanız buraya kesinlikle gitmeyin!!

Nicht zu empfehlen.. sehr dreckige Zimmer und die Küchen Ausstattung ungenießbar.
Die Gegend sehr unsicher da muss man Angst haben nachts ausgeraubt zu werden. Und der Angestellte ein sehr komischer Mann der überhaupt keine Reaktion gezeigt hat nach dem man ihn konfrontiert hat mit den dreckigen Zimmer und das kein Klopapier vorhanden ist…
Mussten uns nach einem anderen Hotel in der Gegend umschauen weil das kein Zustand war um Dorten schlafen zu können.

Üzüntü
Fotoğraflardaki gibi bir samimi ortam değil de enteresan bir ortam yaratılmış. Duvarlarda delikler, kirli storlar hakim. Nevresimler lekeli ve kirliydi. Mutfak alanında dolap kırık, dökülüyor. Bu kadar özensiz olunmasına şaşırdım doğrusu. Sadece konumu her yere yakın. Giriş saati 13.00 yazıyor, 15.00 gibi orada oluruz dediğimiz hale 16.30 da giriş yapabildik. Az bir ücret verilmiyor. Biraz daha yaşanabilir ve kendimizi kötü hissettirmeyecek bir minimumda özen gösterilebilirdi. Temizlik için çalıştırdığınız insanları artırmalı ya da daha makul fiyatlar ödeseniz böyle olmazdı belki. Kurnazlık sadece. İnanmayın fotoğraflara.
