SCAM-DON’T BOOK IT
Cons:

when we arrived at the property, they told us they don’t actually have a place, their staff forgot to turn off the booking system. we found this out when we arrived at property. they also told us that we can cancel it from booking, which we couldn’t do and they still took our money. I can’t reach anyone for refund including booking customer service. do not book it if you don’t want to experience the same thing.

Absolut nicht zu empfehlen, preis zu teuer für so eine schlechte Unterkunft.
Pros:

Nur die Lage außer die Straße in der das Hotel war. Ein Erotik Club gleich schräg gegenüber. Sobald man die Straße verlassen hat war es in Ordnung. Abends oft Polizei Einsatz in der Straße.

Cons:

Alles war eine Katastrophe. Es wird als Hotel verkauft ist aber eine Pension und auch vor Ort als Pension ausgeschildert. Das Bett war kaputt und die Ausstattung bestand aus einem kaputten Bett ein Regal und 2 Nachtkonsolen . Einen Spiegel oder Schrank gab es nicht. Abends schlafen war sehr schwierig, trotz geschlossenen Fenster war es laut.

Overated dirty place
Pros:

Location close to amenities
Kadikoy train station
Phosphorus river

Cons:

Dirty place
I have attached photos
Room full of smoke
Bed sheets have holes

Restroom smells bad smoke and unclean
Shower area full of grease brown substances on walls
Shower gell stinks and not of satisfaction
Soap is the same as well no satisfaction

Towels are dirty, not washed properly or changed to new ones
As if the hotel dont want to spend on linens
1st room, no pillow sheets
Changed room to another, which stinks but faces the street, so I left the window open all night. I checked in at 20:00 pm. I couldn't cancel or go anywhere else as I was tired and exhausted

Pros:

Oda inanılmaz küçüktü bize kart verip çıktığımız odada temizlik görevlisi uzanır vaziyetteydi daha sonra tekrar resepsiyona inip , başka oda verdiler girdik odalar genel anlamda banyo sadece temizdi yorganda nevresim dahi yoktu duvarlar leş gibiyi çekmeceleri silip üzerine bazı eşyalarımı zor kıydum kalan eşyalarımı koymadım bile

Pros:

Memnun kaldık. Otel çok temiz ve yeni tadilattan geçmiş. Heryere yürüme mesafesinde. Tekrar geliriz. Güleryüzlü yadimsever elemanlar.

Simple, affordable room for short stay.
Pros:

Location was convenient to the jetty and main metro station. I only needed an overnight stay to connect to the airport so it served its purpose. The AC and bed was fine but that was about it. You get what you pay for.

Cons:

The room is tiny - I could only open my suitcase on the bed. I was traveling alone and only staying a night so I didnt mind this. The bathroom water pressure was okay, but you could see hairs on the floor tiles, and the tiles were not super clean.

A small room very close to one of the probably best areas in the cite
Pros:

The room doesn't look bad. Card payment accepted. Booked at the date of coming.

Cons:

1. It seems to me that despite I booked a double room which was a little larger, I was placed to a single room of smaller size (you can easily see the difference in photos)
2. Check-out time indicated was 12-14. At 13 I returned to my room to pick up my things and found them raked to one corner by cleaner, so she made up my room at my absence. Probably I was meant to check out at 12, but this was unclear.
3. Probably they should get rid of mildew in the bathroom

Pros:

Muhtemelen yazlık bir hotel olduğu için odalarda kalorifer yok, klima bozuktu. Sigara içmeme rağmen her odaya geldiğimde odaya sigara sinmiş oluyordu
