Seems affordable but terrible. They have not changed after one year of complains.
Pros:

It was in good location but a terrible hotel. My family ended up booking the nearby one due to the bugs in this hotel.

Cons:

Still bugs and broken doors even after a whole year of the same complains from visitors. Not worth it. It maybe cheap but that is the trap. My family couldn't stay for 2 hours. They had to book another hotel because of that. And the worst they did not respond after complaining or issuing a refund.

The simple trap they use to survive is you book and pay there is no cancellation option.

I repeat be careful. Better visit before booking! They are soft on messages before your arrival and as soon as you reach, the manager disappears and leaves you with the bugs and broken doors

Nu recomand nimanui, zona foarte murdara, o parcare ciudata intr-un garaj improvizat cu pamant
Pros:

nimic

Cons:

zona foarte murdara, plina de imigranti, miros de urina si mizerie peste tot, cea mai infecta si insalubra zona a Istanbulului. Pacat de amblasarea apropiata de Golden Horn si Metroul Halic.

Pros:

In the eyes of a Finnish traveler, the hotel does not even come close to the pictures on Booking.com, they are in much worse condition than the pictures suggest. There is no soundproofing between the rooms, all sounds are carried throughout the hotel.
The TV did not work, which I told the receptionist who promised to take care of it, but it was not fixed for a week. When taking a shower, water leaked into the room from between the doors because the shower stall was small and the shower head was installed in the wrong place.
The hotel has a three-star rating, but I would only give it one star.
It was quite adequate for a one-night stay, but I myself was in the hotel for three weeks and I do not recommend it for a long-term stay.

Great value for money, minor problems don't affect the overall pleasure. Ten out of ten, as for me.
Pros:

Very pleasant staff, good location, great value for money. If you use a hotel room just to sleep (well maybe not only) it's a perfect choice! I really do recommend this place, minor problems don't count

Cons:

Well the bathroom was certainly repaired (or so) half a century ago. But once we learned how to make the shower work, problems were solved ;)

Pros:

Из плюсов хорошее местоположение относительно достопримечательностей в центре города и низкая цена, до метро halic 5 минут пешком.

Cons:

Из минусов очень уставшие номера, клопов к счастью за одну ночь не заметил. Район в котором находится отель грязноватый, и не самый безопасный.Вообщем одну две ночи кое как переночевать тут можно.
Также хочу отметить, было непросто найти вход в отель, на двери нет никакой вывески.Прилагаю фото входа в отель надеюсь кому-то поможет.
Также приехав в 15:00 пришлось минут 15 ждать у двери пока мне кто-то откроет и заселит меня.
