Parkhouse Hotel & Spa in Istanbul

Lıcation was very good but room was cell size and dark. Breakfast was good. Isolation between rooms was very week. You can here everything from next room.

As I checked in, it reminded me of the Eagles’ song Hotel California 😊 — but later, I did meet some very pleasant staff, especially the two nice guys who helped me check out and loaded my luggage into the taxi.

Unfortunately, the hotel room was terrible — very small, congested, and everything looked old and dirty. Even the bathroom towels looked like they came second-hand from a flea market. The bathroom itself was dirty and smelled like a public restroom. The water kept cutting off, and I often had to wait in the shower until the pressure came back on.

The lighting in the room was awful, and everything felt cheap and outdated. The carpet stinks, there’s not even a stand for your luggage, and the room is missing many basic hotel essentials.

The only positive thing about this place is its central location — close to everything. Still, there are much better hotels across the street and nearby that are worth staying at.

As for breakfast, it’s very poor. It would be better not to advertise it as “free breakfast” because you’re honestly better off skipping it.

1. Acoustic insulation is not good, could hear everything in the next room and in the corridor, got waken up early.
2. Bed is comfortable and the terrace nice. Some fixtures are old and need replacement, for example the shower head holder, the whole vertical rod came out when trying to adjust. Not sufficient counter surface for putting items in. The counter surface at the sink does not drain back to the sink and splashed water accumulate.
3. Dove shampoo and shower gel were provided. Better and more environmentally friendly option would be plant-based alternatives.
