Great accommodation for a small price, on a good location and with friendly staff.
Pros:

The location was great although the neighborhood can be a bit scary sometimes especially for a group of girls, but everything was close - the transportation, main attractions. The room for 5 prople was quite spacious and had a small kitchen area which was really helpful. The staff was really kind and helpful.

Cons:

First night they put us in two separate rooms even though we booked a quadruple room and those rooms for 2 people were really small and not really clean. But on the second day they moved us to a room for 5 people which was really nice. The room in the mornings and in the nights was a bit cold and there was AC but it didn’t heat up the room properly.

It’s a scam ! Don’t go there !
Cons:

ARNAQUE !

Je ne comprend absolument pas les commentaires positifs car l’hôtel est vraiment miteux et glauque.
Déjà, il faut payer en cash, ce n’était pas précisé. Du coup, le monsieur de l’accueil doit me rendre 100 livres Turques, il me dit qu’il me les rendra demain.

Après avoir prit l’ascenseur qui vraiment ne m’a pas donné envie de le reprendre ensuite. Nous arrivons à la chambre et en regardant de plus près, rien ne va, une serviette censé être propre plus que douteuse, pas de télécommande pour la télévision, pas de télécommande pour la clim, impossible de faire fonctionner le radiateur.

Ensuite la salle de bain, première découverte, de la matière fécale dans les toilettes, je tire la chasse donc et je m’aperçois que les toilettes sont bouchées.
Ensuite je vais vers le lavabo pour me laver les mains, nouvelle surprise, impossible de faire fonctionner le lavabo puisque il n’y a pas de poignée de robinet donc impossible de l’utiliser.

La propreté de la douche laisse également à désiré. Et il n’y a aucune place pour poser les affaires.
Impossible que le ménage ait été fait entre le client d’avant et nous.

La porte d’entrée de la chambre est également cassée, on peut la fermer mais la sécurité laisse à désirer.

La Wifi ne fonctionne pas.

Le lendemain, évidemment je ne récupère pas mes 100 livres turques, personne ne vient voir les toilettes bouchées. On décide de quitter cet hôtel plus vite que prévu, et vu le ton du réceptionniste, on n’a pas vraiment envie de discuter avec lui car on se doute qu’il ne nous aurait pas laissé en placer une.

Je pense sincèrement que les avis positifs sont des faux car je ne comprend vraiment pas comment il peut être aussi bien noté.

Le pire hôtel où j’ai séjourné si on peut appeler ça un hôtel !

Je trouve ça vraiment fou qu’en 2026, ce genre de chose existe encore !

C’est une énorme mais alors énorme arnaque ! Je dis bien UNE ÉNORME ARNAQUE !

Alojamiento sencillo a precio muy competitivo
Pros:

La ubicación era bastante cercana al centro eso permitía tener silencio por la noche ya que es un barrio tranquilo y seguro.

Cons:

Quizás sería conveniente una estufa en el baño, era algo frío.

Pros:

Расположение, и трасса на 5 этаже с великолепным видом на Стамбул!

Cons:

Номер просто крошечный, 2,5*3-3,5м, и достаточно ушатаный! В туалете на кране рукомойника нет ручки , просто торчит картридж крана! Ни одной вешалки , полотенца помешать негде! Нет микроволновки!
