Deceitful and Disgusting

DO NOT STAY HERE!! I have no idea how this place has so many good reviews, it is utterly horrible and disgusting. Our room was filthy, had exposed wiring, and bugs crawling all over the room. We were in the basement room and the room had 0 privacy. The door was basically in the main dining room for all the staff members and guests and it had horrible street noise. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights but after one night of zero sleep and feeling utterly disgusted, we left. Only one person of the staff spoke any English (even though the listing mentions fluent English staff). Normally I am completely understanding about this but when the condition of the room/hotel is so bad that we can’t communicate to any staff even through google translate it was incredibly frustrating. The “beautiful court yard” showed in the pictures of this place does not exist, the courtyard instead is full of construction materials and other debris. The elevator is also broken and the bathroom is filthy with jagged pieces of tile, mold, and stains all over the bathtub. I can’t tell you how horrible our experience was. Please, save yourself a terrible time and book a room anywhere else.

What can I say. Its old, its quant, its in an old part of the city. Its right near all the hot tourist sites (Mosque Bazaar etc.) Motorcycle friendly,Staff were always ready to help. The price is very reasonable. We loved it and made sure we could stay there again. (Our second time)

Budget friendly, Perfect location!

I received a good service in terms of price-performance. Given how cheap it was, I should be fair about the quality and service, which is very important. They didn’t charge me for the six cups of coffee I had. It's budget-friendly and located very close to the heart of Istanbul, so I recommend it.

Paid for a king bed at the hotel, got a room with three smaller beds in a building behind the hotel. Came back on the third day to a guy in our room. The reception worker was nice, and the location was excellent. However, I also got mildly electrocuted in the shower.
