Pros:

Super lokalita, pěšky dojdete na spoustu památek i na hlavní taskinske náměstí

Cons:

Měl jsem pokoj pro jednoho číslo 101. Při příchodu smrad plísně jako blázen, ale to bych odpustil, i špinavou koupelnu bych odpustil, odpustil bych uplne všechno, cena byla směšná a já se tam šel jen vyspat a to že sem měl vlastní záchod a sprchu byla jen výhoda, ale v noci mě probudilo že mi něco leze po obličeji, rozsvítil sem a 2 štenice, rychle sem se zvedl, podíval se na postel a ta byla plná štěnic. Takže jsem se jen uvalil a šel pryč.

Pros:

Very, very bad. The boss offers 3 types of accommodation - Simge Pensiyun, Simge Suite, and Simge Hotel - all of which are fake. They use copied pictures from other places to trick you into booking from these accommodations. They all end up in a cramped building at ISMAIL SEFA SOKAK 16. Each floor has 2 rooms, very small, with just a double bed in each. To your surprise, the mattresses are full of bed bugs. If you complain to the boss, they always say the same thing (what do you expect for 10-15 € per day?). It's a nightmare. If anyone knows what bed bugs are - they're a plague, nesting in your luggage and taking them home as souvenirs. They multiply so quickly, and then you have to throw away your own bed and clothes. The Simge Hotel is a plague. I have a video I'd like to show - it's hilarious that Booking.com does nothing about it. There are thousands of bad reviews about these infested beds.

Cons:

VERY - VERY BAD

Virkeligt elendigt
Pros:

Jeg elskede det øjeblik, hvor vi besluttede os for at finde et andet hotel 🙃

Cons:

Intet var som lovet, der var ikke gjort rent. Vi fik et andet værelse end det vi havde betalt for.

Vi købte morgenmad med i prisen, “hotellet” har ikke engang et køkken, så vi kunne ikke få noget morgenmad

PLOȘNIȚE
Pros:

.

Cons:

In momentul în care am ajuns la cazare, patronul hotelului ne-a cerut încă 110 euro, după multe discuții a cedat și a lăsat la 50 euro, bani pentru care nu am primit niciun bon fiscal. Proprietarul știe română și profita de asta sa se târguie in momentul in care ajunge clientul la hotel. Nu am fost contacta de dansul in prealabil. Am incercat sa contactam proprietarul si prin booking pentru a face cerere de check in mai devreme, daca e posibil, acesta a refuzat, dar nu ne-a contactat nimic de vreo greseala de preț, ceea ce nu mi se pare normal, sa vin intr-o tara straina si sa ma trezesc ca trebuie sa mai dau bani la cazare. Dansul stia deja FOARTE CLAR CE PRET ESTE PE BOOKING, dar a așteptat sa ajungem la cazare. A trebuit sa insistam sa ni se schimbe cearceafurile, pentru ca cele precedente eram maxim de jegoase, inclusiv cu par de pisica pe el.
Micul dejun nu a existat, dar in oferta booking era.
In cameră nu era curățenie, mirosea a mucegai, cearceafuri murdare, tabiteria de la pat jupuita, prosoape îmbâcsite, salteaua de la pat murdara, cearceaful nu a acoperea tor, scurgerea la dus plina de par și mizerii. Rugină pe chiuveta si pe la cabina de dus.
Si cel mai important PLOȘNIȚE. AU PLOSNITE IN CAMERA, suntem pline de ciupituri.

Cons:

I’ve been to more than 15 countries, and I swear this is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in in my life.

Just a piece of advice: if you want to book a hotel in Istanbul, don’t book too early online. Come first, check the room yourself, and then pay.

Sorry, but this hotel is honestly a 0/10. No cleaning, no fresh towels, terrible service, and it just feels like a scam. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
