Just fine and perfect hotel. The best is the good offers with reasonable prices. But the discomfort is they do have many cats moving around.

There’s a separate building (not listed) where you’re expected to check in. Had I not randomly met someone staying at a different hotel they they manage, I would not have found it. The hotel elevator only goes up to the second floor then you have to walk upstairs to the third. Check in and check out is easy once you know the building. They provide laundry services and require cash (lira, euros or usd). The hotel is down the hill pictured. It’s a long walk to the top of the hill. The whole area is very hilly. Breakfast is good and is held downstairs in the main reception building. The stairs are narrow. Overall enjoyed my stay

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am disappointed. First, I didn’t get the room I reserved. Second, the bathroom is in very bad shape and not clean at all. The bed sheets were not the right fit for the mattress so they came off during the night. The cleaning lady knocked and then proceeded to come into my room while I was half undressed. She didn’t wait long enough for me to answer the door. Perhaps the hotel could implement some simple fix like hanging a “do not disturb” sign on the door which would solve this problem. If you can get past the disgusting bathroom, the hotel is, however, in a good location. It’s within walking distance from the Blue mosque, Aya Sofia, Sultan Ahmed Square, and lots of tiny little restaurants and grocery stores for conveniences. There is also some uphill walking so if you have bad knees then this might not be best option.

Although we had booked the room months in advance and informed the property about our late arrival around midnight, there was no one available for check-in when we arrived. After waiting and asking unhelpful neighbors, we were directed to another nearby building managed by the same property. When a staff member finally arrived, we were shown a room on the third floor with no elevator, accessible only by very narrow and unsafe staircases. Our request for a first-floor room was refused. We were then offered a room in the other building with an elevator, but at almost double the price, which was very disappointing given the inconvenience.

Very very unclean. The room was very dirty. There was hair on the bed. There was stains on the towels. There was dirt on the walls. The ac was dirty and did not work. Only thought to book this as it was affordable and local to where i needed to stay. However, after that i would have been happy to pay more. The staff were lazy and unhelpful. Wouldnt reccomend at all. I ended sleeping in my day clothes and putting a tshirt over the pillow. Made me very sick. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK

We arrived and were immediately hit by a strong smell of cat urine throughout the property. There was even a mattress dumped in the corridor, making the place look filthy and neglected. It was so bad that we couldn’t even stay the night and left without checking in. We told the staff how horrible it was, but they did nothing to address it and showed no concern at all. I would strongly advise avoiding this place until it’s properly cleaned and managed.

Tavsiye etmem

Odanın kiliti yok! Evet kiliti yok! Sorduğumda ise kilit vermediler. Dışarıdan açılmıyor dendi fakat dışarıdan açılıyordu. Sonra da kimse gelmez dendi fakat ertesi sabah dokuzta kapımızı biri açmayı denedi. Tabi ki otel yönetimine güvenmedim mecburiyetten resimdeki teknik ile kapıyı açılmaz hale getirdim. Odaya girdiğimizde yerde hafif çamurlar vardı. Duşun kapısı yoktu ve duş alırken su dışarı akıyor hatta çok akarsa odaya sızıyordu. Bu şartlarda bu oteli tavsiye etmem. Kötü bir deneyimdi.
