Δεν έμεινα ούτε μια ώρα...
Pros:

Ο ρεσεψιονίστ κι ο ιδιοκτήτης ήταν πολύ ευγενικοί. Ο ιδιοκτήτης μου πρότεινε upgrade και τον ευχαριστώ γι αυτό, αλλά με είχε πιάσει τάση φυγής... ένιωθα ότι θα με πλακώσει το κτήριο..

Cons:

Δεν μ αρέσει να κάνω κακές κριτικές και η αλήθεια είναι πως ό,τι πληρώνεις παίρνεις. Δεν γίνεται να είναι πάμφθηνο και πολύ καλό ταυτόχρονα. Με το που είδα το δωμάτιο όλα φώναζαν ότι πρέπει να φύγω... ένα κακοστρωμένο κρεβάτι με στρώμα από την εποχή της γιαγιάς μου και ψόφια μυγάκια πάνω στα μαξιλάρια. Μια ξεχαρβαλωμένη κουρτίνα, πλαστικό δάπεδο και σοβάδες να πέφτουν από τους τοίχους. Μια τουαλέτα λίγο μεγαλύτερη από μια ντουλάπα που έμπαινες με το πλάι από την πόρτα. Δεν έμεινα ούτε μια ώρα. Βρήκα ένα αξιοπρεπές δωμάτιο, αλλού, στον ίδιο δρόμο. Όχι στην ίδια τιμή, αλλά αξιοπρεπές. Δεν ζήτησα τα λεφτά μου πίσω. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι αυτό άξιζε το δωμάτιο. Ο ιδιοκτήτης όμως πρέπει να κάνει σοβαρή ανακαίνιση προς σεβασμό των επισκεπτών του.

Outstanding hotel staff
Pros:

Staff was brilliant... waited for me till 12 am... dropped me off with my extra luggage at the shuttle bus stop at 5 am in morning

V.kind of the man to give the service...

Accommodation is v.near to metro and bus stops. Cafe just across the road Frederick cafe is very reasonable priced compared to others...

Mosque also nearby

If you have alot of luggage or arriving late or departing early... staff is cooperative... he is the best thing about accommodation

Cons:

Accommodation is abit old needs renovation.. Lights in the room need improvement

Buena ubicación pero no es para todos
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, es muy céntrica

Cons:

El suelo está hundido, el colchón se sale de la base de la cama, falta más limpieza y la entrada es muy incomoda, no es libre, esta llena de cosas, está totalmente obstruida y el internet es malísimo, sin embargo la persona que nos recibió es amable.

Pros:

Взял для одного дня в Стамбуле проездом - отличный вариант. Очень хорошая цена. Прекрасное местоположение. Находится около Таксим. Жить не стал бы в отеле, но для того, чтобы взять душ и отдохнуть днем - идеальный вариант.

Cons:

Низкая цена и отличное местоположение перевешивают все недостатки

Dirty place in a good location
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The most thing is that it is dirty, the bed smells, the sheets smell, the room smell. I didn’t sleep comfortably at night and was happy to leave next morning. The light from the shops downstairs stays on 24/7 so you always have light hitting the room in the night. It’s too noisy at night(berks of good location).

Only good thing is the location
Pros:

Good water pressure and heater. Staff are very responsive to help needed on WhatsApp

Cons:

No water provided, no air conditioning, dirty flask - even have white flakes floating after cleaning and double boil. Extremely sunken bed, felt like sleeping on metal frame. No elevator, have to carry your luggage up 3 floors. Have to open 3 doors to access room and the keys are terrible and don’t fit well - have to trial and error to open (might take up to 3 min and it’s frustrating after 12 hours out walking)

Wouldn't stay here again.
Pros:

The location was close to bus stop and restaurants

Cons:

All the photos were not real. The host was rude and insisted the photos are accurate. We paid for a room with kitchen and storage cabinets, and side tables - none of that was in the room. We were given a completely different room than what we booked. The room was on the third floor with no elevators - this was not listed on the property listing

Pros:

Situazione buona. In una via servita da negozi di alimentari, snaks, ristorantini. Piazza Taksim a pochi metri con metro e dolmus. La struttura è sicuramente molto economica. Staff sempre disponibile.

Pros:

Удобное расположение

Cons:

Кондиционер не работает. В номере грязно. Из под линолиума торчат доски, пол не ровный. Окна всегда завешены шторами и темно в номере, так как напротив другой отель. Освещения не хватает.
