I will never gonna come back in this property ever again
Pros:

First of all this place, it was not clean at all. The stuff are sitting and not doing anything. I was placed in the third floor and people they are smoking. I tried to open the window to get some fresh air. The window was almost to fall out thankfully, I have a strong hands I was able to hold in my hands. Staff was not very helpful and approachable or to ask to follow up with you if you need anything or assist you with anything. I end up using the same towel for almost a week. They provide me two towels, not even extra for the face the last day. I asked somebody if I can come clean my room the guy when he came to clean the room he didn’t even clean properly. The location was OK. It was close to Taxi Square but anything else no breakfast was terrible tomato which was probably cut night before and cucumber not even fresh one boiled egg and some bread. What kind of breakfast is that?. very poor and discharged for a breakfast. The coffee was a pure water even when you sit at the kitchen was not even clean and it smells. The cleanliness was the big part for me was not clean at all.

Pros:

Nada, el hotel más sucio que he visto en mi vida. El trato del recepcionista fue tan pésimo que cancelamos nuestra estancia, perdiendo lo que habíamos pagado. La entrada olía a tabaco. Los otros huéspedes que había en la recepción estaban quejándose de lo sucias que estaban las habitaciones y pedían que se limpien y cambien las sábanas y toallas. EL PEOR LUGAR PARA ALOJARSE, sin duda.

For those who plan to stay short and just sleep in, this is the right place to be at.
Pros:

I liked the location of the place and breakfast offer.

Cons:

The bedcovers and the pillows were black dirty. So was the floor. There were three beds and only two towels. When we asked for one more, they said the cleaning person is not there and they have no access to the towels and so. The AC was not working properly it was switching from 26 to 18 to 26 degrees, quite weird. When you use the shower, the water is all over as the shower is not working properly. The hotel had slippers for the room, but they were too slippery for the bathroom and not appropriate.

Подойдет на короткий срок, только для ночевки
Pros:

Бесплатный WI-FI. Расположение отличное, завтрак не шведский стол, персонал сам приносит минимальный набор на тарелке, кусочек масла, сыра, колбасы, 1 яйцо, пару кусков помидора и огурцов. Чай и кофе на завтраке без лимита, вода идет хорошо, кровать приемлемая. На этом достоинства заканчиваются.

Cons:

Номера маленькие. Проблема повесить вещи, если вас 2 или 3 человека, вешалок просто нет. Нет стола и стульев, по просьбе тоже не выдают, да и вообще одну нормальную ложечку для заваривания чая в номере попросили и то не дали, сказали что нету таких. Пакетики чая и кофе, воду в номер поставили только в самый первый раз, далее уже не ставили, только после того как попросили - положили. Постельное белье и полотенца сами не меняют, нужно обязательно напоминать. В ванной вода собиралась на полу, не поставили уклон для стока в трап, поэтому была постоянная влажность, окна в ужасном состоянии. Раньше данное здание было жилым домом с 1904 года, потом переделали в отель. Из плюсов только хорошее расположение в центре города и Wi Fi

You get what you pay for — one of the cheapest options in Taksim
Pros:

Location: Near the police station.
Building: Very old building dating back to 1907.
The rooms were warm, we stayed in December, it was very cold outside.

Cons:

Breakfast – very basic.
The beds were very basic as well.
The toilet needs improvement.
In the end, you get what you pay for. For those rating it as a bad hotel, keep in mind that this was one of the lowest-priced options in Taksim.
