Reviews
Beyond that, the rooms are extremely old, tiny, and worn down—about 1.5 meters wide and maybe 4.5 to 5 meters long, almost like a coffin. The bathroom situation is even worse. It smells like a public restroom, looks dirty, and has mold everywhere. There’s no proper shower, just a designated area next to the toilet with a showerhead. I couldn’t bring myself to use it—it was simply disgusting.
There were no hand towels, no toilet paper holder (just a roll sitting on a shelf), and a few small bottles of some unidentified soap-like substance with no clear labeling. The bathroom window opens into another space connected to a communal restroom, so you can hear—and unfortunately, smell—everything from the other side.
The bed looked okay, but I didn’t use it since I was only there for a short layover in Istanbul. If I had planned to stay a full day or two, I would have booked somewhere else. The descriptions on Booking.com and Google are extremely misleading.
This hotel is an economical so its rooms are also as per its price.
They don't offer breakfast as i said it's economical.
Be warned : this isn't a modern hotel, bathrooms and toilets are shared and one of them is a Turkish toilet (no seat). No air conditioning but powerful fans that do the trick. Ask for a room that doesn't overlook the street as there is a bar across. We slept well and had a great stay, so close to everything in Istanbul.
