Absolutely ridiculous policy! I’ve stayed in hotels all over Europe and never experienced something like this. They wanted to charge me $20 just for letting my friend visit me for a short time — not even to stay overnight! This is pure nonsense and a total scam. In 2025, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. If you respect your guests, stop treating them like criminals. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone who values freedom and normal hospitality.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! If there was an option for zero stars I would put it. The room was disgusting the bedsheets and towels were clearly unwashed, bodily fluids were on them and stains, there was hair all over the sheets and pillows and the pillow was covered in holes. When we talked to the manager in the morning he was hostile, he was yelling at us and the children. The kids were overwhelmed and were crying. We asked to cancel our reservation and they refused claiming we were lying. In the middle of the night smoke entered our room although we had the windows closed, we couldn’t breathe and were coughing all night. The service was horrific, when we checked in they wouldn’t let us go to our rooms for 30 minutes, the clerk had to take us to our rooms and told us which beds we had to sleep in. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Rooms and beds were incredibly dirty and uncomfortable! The location is near a lot of bars not children friendly for wanting to go out at night. The person at the desk wanted to know personal information like whose sisters and refused to give us the key and insisted on taking us to the room! When we arrived her said you two will sleep here and told us which beds to sleep in. He asked for my phone to put in the internet, but first went through my apps closing them all!

Hotel is at the great location, good soundproof, rooms are clean and fresh, no 'old' odour.
Nursel is a great, friendly host. Will come back!

Room with more than enough space for two. Some zones looked dusty, there were rests of hairs all over the place (even stuck on the walls). The shower tray was leaking so the floor was always wet and smelly (wet towel on the floor). There was mold in the ceiling. Bring some good ear plugs because noise is huge at night. I could hear loud music from the street/bars until late night even with them on. The breakfast was good and the employees were friendly. We had a fridge. The rooms kept a good temperature as I barely used the aircon and it was really hot outside. The internet was good enough. It's near Istiklal and it's surrounded with many restaurants and small shops.

The area is very noisy, paintwork and repair was going on. The staff was very discourtious. The breakfast provided was not up to the standard.

I stayed here in May 2005 & it was a great little hotel in a fantastic location!, it was cheap & a nice Turkish breakfast included in the then cheap price! , lovely staff, very friendly , I went back in 2012 and the price had shot up astronomically! so couldn't afford it again!

would recommend if its in your budget !
