The hotel is small and so are the rooms. The location is good with walking distance to Taksim and Istiklal street. The whole building is old and needs maintenance,room is small and needs some love. Staff are friendly and helpful. For staying one night here is alright

NO! NO! NO! Don’t do it, don’t reserve and save your holiday! We done big mistake. 5 nights in this mess, smell, dirty, disgusting “hotel”! From first minute there I known is wrong😖 but we already reserved and paid from booking. We paid for little bit more expensive biggest room- it was somewhere in basement, smell like someone just finished cigarette and died there, open window is for nothing because inside window is a lot of cigarettes, no fresh air, air conditioning not working, walls are modly, ..sopha extremely dirty 🤢 fridge has broke, open freezer, we paid for “kitchen” in room but there is not even glass or spoon.. everywhere’s small insects, I couldn’t fallen asleep when I known which mess is there.. we were there like in cave without light.. Receptionist HORRIBLE, slowly mind, impolite, even not say “hi” he promised us changed this room to some different with light and fresh air, first day he said we dont have free room but will be tomorrow, next day he said same “we don’t have, tomorrow “ after he didn’t talk to us at all.. i HATE this place never never again!!! We tought about go to different hotel every minute there, but we didnt want to give them “money for nothing”. We contacted booking, they were so sorry, tried to call this hotel but they even not pick up!! Horrible experience.. next time we will be more careful

Just one word is enough to describe this so-called hotel: Horrible!!!! The place has not been cleaned for a couple of years at least!!! Everywhere is covered with dust, hair, and garbage. I feel so uncomfortable that I booked and fully paid for another hotel inatantly without touching or aitting anywhere. The place is super small as well. My friwnd and I booked a double room but we can barely move in that tiny room they gave us. I do NOT recommed this establishment at all. This place does not even deserve the name "hotel", let alone a 3-star one!!

The Worst Hotel Experience The receptionist (the bald guy) was so rude. no welcoming at all. He couldn't speak English at all. The hotel was so dirty. the breakfast was awful. there were no soap and no drinking water in the rooms and nobody cares when I told them.

I put well-deserved 3 stars, the room has a kitchen (2 burners, a kettle and a microwave), but from the dishes only a moldy frying pan (photo) disposable slippers are not new, wall pano (photo) no insects p.s. there were a lot of mosquitoes from the ventilation and one beetle in bed. the ventilation was plugged with a pillow and there were no more excesses

The worst room I ever booked. Dirty, all broken, smells like I don’t even know what. Furniture crammed in a way you can’t even access kitchenette without walking over a couch. I don’t understand why it exists.
