Loca Suit LİFE AİRPORT Hotel in Istanbul

Had the "pleasure" of staying here for the night.
After entering the room, almost vomited from the smell of sewage.

The receptionist told me it was the last room available. After 20 minutes of explaining that I physically could not stay in such a room, and after a phone call with another receptionist (who tried to tell me that since I hadn’t paid the hotel directly—Agoda reservation—the hotel wasn’t obliged to do anything for me: “call Agoda and cancel your reservation”… well, at 0:05 on Friday night, the very day of the reservation—thanks for the wise suggestion, man!), another room was eventually found and offered - stinking exactly the same. I had to open all the windows and it still was barely possible to stay there.

I don’t know what happened to the water system here, but stay away until it’s repaired—it is physically unbearable to be here.

Attaching pictures of the sheets in the second room. That’s what I saw just on ONE bed.
3-star hotel—are you joking?...

Given two stars as I liked the mattress, bed sheets were soft and clean, their dog in reception was friendly and staff were polite. It only took 15 minutes to go to the airport in the morning too. But I would not stay here again. The heating at the hotel I had originally booked had broken down, so I was transferred here when checking in. It's located in an industrial area which I think explains the constant smell of chemicals/fuel in the rooms. The bathroom smelt strongly of cigarettes all the time as if someone was stood there chain smoking. When having a shower the water cycles between cold, warm, hot and boiling before returning to cold and going through the cycle again. Walls are paper thin, can literally hear everything that is going on in the rooms next door as well as outside in the hallway. Hardly got any sleep. All the rooms of those in our group had the same issues and were located on different floors.

Their restaurant located next door has no prices on the menu and when we asked for prices they gave a random figure of each dish costing between 250-350 liras. Next nearest restaurant is around a 15 minute walk.

The bed sheet is old and not clean enough. It’s hard to close the door of the bathroom. The surrounding environment is not quiet enough.
