The shower drain should be unclogged, otherwise quite pleasant for a short stay in Istanbul :)

There was a used spoon left on the table in my room.
I also read that soap and shampoo would be provided, but there was no soap in my room.
In the evening until check-out, no water came out of the tap.

I was very disappointed. I made a reservation for the next day by mistake; I needed it for that same day. I messaged them on WhatsApp to see if I could still come, and they told me they didn't have a room available at that time, even though they were still listed online. Very strange. In short, a lack of empathy.

I booked a 20 sqm king-size room because it was on sale, but it was a tiny single bed (less than 1m across). When I said I wanted the wrong room, they gave me a long list of excuses, saying I couldn't get a king-size room for that price, that it was the site's fault, and that it was the last room. It was too much trouble to look for a room now, so I just put up with it and stayed there, but there was only one light in the room that worked. The shower had a plug on the side that was loose, so water was coming out and it was unusable. I ended up taking a shower from the bottom up. It was awful. I've attached photos.

The deluxe room on the 6th floor is very nice. No neighbors and a great view of the Bosphorus. It's spacious and has a sofa in addition to the king-size bed, and plenty of storage. It was very comfortable for two. The receptionists offer tea, ask about your stay in Istanbul, and offer helpful tips. The area is budget-friendly, with plenty of cafes and shops. Public transportation is a 10-minute walk away. A good option for a three-night stay, exploring the main sights, and shopping.

Worst Hotel Experience Ever – Completely Unprofessional and Dishonest
My stay at Aramr Istanbul was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I booked a Standard Triple Room for three people, but they gave us a tiny double room with a cheap, temporary single bed added just to make it look like a triple.
The room we got was completely different from what I booked online — nothing matched the photos. I’ve attached pictures below showing the room I booked vs the room I actually got.
When I complained, the staff gave excuses — first saying the triple room was “booked,” then claiming it was “under renovation.” If that’s true, why did they still take my booking and payment? Totally dishonest.
Their solution was ridiculous — they offered two single rooms and said they could add another bed in one. Such unprofessional management!
Even worse, when I asked for a blanket and pillow for the extra bed, they promised to bring them but never did. I had to go to reception at 3 AM to get a blanket myself, and they never gave me a pillow during my whole stay.
Because of this hotel’s terrible service and fake advertising, my Istanbul trip was seriously ruined. I couldn’t rest, and it caused unnecessary stress.
I even met another guest who faced the same issue — he didn’t get the room he booked either.
Aramr Istanbul is a scam hotel. Fake photos, careless staff, zero hospitality. Avoid this place at all costs!

I wasn’t satisfied with the setting of the room. The height of the bed was too high. My son fell off the bed and his nose and mouth became swollen as a result of that. It wasn’t baby friendly at all. Also, they didn’t change the bins. We did request them to change them but they didn’t.
