Mixed reports: several guests describe polite and helpful staff, but one report describes aggressive behaviour and indifference from staff during a serious incident. Overall slightly positive but inconsistent.

Many reviews repeatedly praise the central location near Taksim/city centre and easy access to public transport; one review describes a poor neighbourhood, but overall location is a strong positive.

Limited mentions: one review notes an excellent breakfast (served at a nearby partner hotel); otherwise F&B is rarely discussed.

Pros:

Недавно я читала отзывы о случаях обнаружения насекомых, но во время своего пребывания я с этим абсолютно ничего не столкнулась. Номер был чистым, ухоженным и гигиеничным. Поэтому хочу заявить, что негативные отзывы не отражают мой опыт.

Pros:

Мы остались очень довольны нашим пребыванием. Расположение отеля превосходное, очень удобное с точки зрения транспорта. Персонал дружелюбный, внимательный и старается помочь во всем. Наш номер был чистым и аккуратным. Учитывая соотношение цены и качества, он оправдал наши ожидания. Это отель, который мы бы выбрали снова.

Cons:

Единственный недостаток отсутствие лифта.

1. Помыть душевую кабинку от плесени 2. Писать четко в описании номера, что входит. Если зубной счета и и пасты нет, то
Pros:

Только расположения, исходя из цели жить в центре и быстро добраться до стадиона.

Cons:

Очень старый и грязный отель.
Душевая вся в плесени.
Номер на троих: 2 полотенца больших и одно маленькое.
В описании номера было указано, что ванные принадлежности есть. По итогу только шампунь и мыло для рук.

Сюда даже бесплатно не приезжайте! Это помойка с тараканами!
Pros:

Из плюсов только расположение и работающий кондей. Больше ничего хорошего. Менеджер был вежлив, но отказался возвращать деньги за второй неиспользованный день.

Cons:

Я такой жести даже в Индии не видел. Огромные тараканы кругом. Они больше 6см длинной. Даже света не боятся. За ночь штуки 4 встретились. Тараканы в душевой кабине, под ободком унитаза и в самой комнате... Я приехал в 3 ночи с аэропорта, вариантов свалить с этой помойки не было, пришлось ночевать с тараканами. Сам номер изношен в хлам, кругом плесень и грязь. Я бывал и в Индии, и в диких местах Явы, и в Африке, но такого омерзительного места я нигде не встречал. Вот реально хочется покинуть с первой секунды. Номер был оплачен за два дня, персонал отказался возвращать мне деньги за второй день, хотя я съехал тем же утром, т.к. в этом ужасе жить невозможно. (Надеюсь, этот вопрос решит администрация букинга (процедура в процессе))

Welcome to the cockroach party 🎉🎉
Pros:

I have stayed at many hotels in Istanbul (more than 30), but this one left the absolute worst impression.

Yes, the check-in was fast and hassle-free, but it turned out there were cockroaches crawling everywhere in the room (if you are squeamish about this kind of thing, you'd better skip reading the rest).

For example, one of the cockroaches died right by the front door. Now, I’m a tough guy, and things like this don't easily scare me. But I almost gagged when, a couple of hours later, the dead roach was swarming with tiny ants trying to eat its remains, and a trail of ants stretched across the entire room. And this wasn't just some tiny, fingernail-sized bug. It was a massive cockroach, about the size of a finger (around 5 centimeters).

I found the second cockroach right by the toilet. Would you use it in a situation like that?

The third cockroach popped up right in front of my face as I was walking into the bathroom. It quickly scurried toward the shower, fell onto its back, and couldn't get up. All through the following night, it kept trying to flip over but failed, and then a fourth cockroach came to its rescue.

Knowing that cockroaches had been crawling all over my stuff all night, I didn't take a single item from the bathroom, nor did I use the shower. I didn't say anything to the receptionist because moving to a different room wouldn't have helped — if there are cockroaches in one room, they are all over the building.

So, my sincere advice is: if you don’t enjoy the company of cockroaches, do not choose this hotel.

Cons:

Cockroaches and ants

Unpleasant smell of tobacco smoke

Extremely small room; the suitcase barely fit.
