Oriella Hotel in Istanbul

It is a zero star hotel. It was a trrible experience. I do not recommend this hotel at all. Choosing this hotel is a waste of money. Although it is located near the taksim square, its neighborhood is so dirty and ugly.
No laundry
No restaurant
No appropriate service
Disaster location

A hostel with few facilities,
Very poor breakfast plate,
The rooms don’t look like the photos,
The sound of other rooms can be heard completely,
‏A rough path to Taksim square

One of the worst hotels you will ever stay in. Very old furniture with a bathroom directly facing your bed therefore no privacy. They would provide water and nescafe packages for you on your first day and then they will never refill them. They never change the coffee cups in the room but just rinse them with water from the bathroom ! The receptionists are not that useful unless you need a taxi where they would call an unmetered one who will charge you more for the trip. Overall it was a bad stay and i advise no one to visit this property

I was disappointed with my stay there.

• The rooms are average, worth less then what we paid but it was the last room so they charged extra. The room is small in size and the window is facing a wall.
•The bathroom itself isn’t nice but the toiletries they provided were decent.
•The bed was comfortable enough, but I felt a bit itchy.
•The AC is weak
•The neighborhood is not safe, please be aware of this, not just for this hotel but any hotel in this area. It’s the back alleys full of drug dealers, prostitution, possibly gangs, and just a generally unsafe neighborhood. Stick to known roads and don’t wander around this area itself. Make sure your belonging are kept safe. I advise against families staying here, or solo travelers who aren’t used to places like this and aren’t observant. I might sound over dramatic right now but it is a bad neighborhood and for those who aren’t familiar with areas like this, you’re better off staying out of these areas.

•It is nearby Taksim meydan and even though it’s in an unsafe neighborhood the location is easy to access other places that people like to hang around in.

•The breakfast isn’t worth what they charge, it’s one boiled egg, two thin slices of cheese the size of two fingers, two slices of bologna a bit smaller than the size of my palm, 5 olives, one cherry tomato and two round slices of a cucumber (probably used one cucumber for everyone there) along with those small packages of butter, syrup that supposed to taste like honey, and one packet that had a different type of cheese. They also provide bread.
You’ll enjoy better breakfast elsewhere for prices similar if not less.
They also have self serve tea (don’t drink the tea it’s horrible), orange juice, and milk. They also provide two selections of cereals with the milk.
If you want them to serve you the drinks as well act like a you’ve never poured a cup of tea for yourself in your like, and being western and also intimidating helps (see below experience for reference)

• We we’re discriminated against during breakfast. They serve breakfast themselves and tell you to sit while they bring you a plate. We had arrived to breakfast and there were already 4 plates ready to be served. They were busy doing something else in the kitchen while we waited. Everyone else had already been served so we waited as we were next.
Then some other guests came which they suddenly started smiling and acting extra polite even though the guests themselves seemed a bit picky and unsatisified. They served them breakfast plates immediately and started getting them different bread and clean glasses etc.
We didn’t say anything and waited politely.
The next guest came in (an intimidating guy with his tall blonde significant other) they rushed to have them seated and went to the table to ask for there order. They proceeded to make them Turkish coffee and scrambled eggs and bring them plates for breakfast. There were two people working for breakfast and both of them seemed fixated on serving them.

(We have been waiting for 30 minutes for our plates of breakfast and they haven’t even come by us once)
We then began to mention how we haven’t recieved breakfast even though we’ve arrived 30 minutes before these guests waiting for a simple plate of breakfast.
They then apologize and few minutes later serve ya breakfast (of course forgetting any bread or even forks, we recieved them also another five minutes later after asking, and let me remind you the breakfast area is extremely small in this boutique hotel so it’s not like they had to run into an actual kitchen to go get it)

We then asked if we could also receive scrambled eggs and they said the man had asked for scrambled eggs and they had already provided us with the ready breakfast stating “the man doesn’t like boiled eggs”

Extremely disappointed in their behavior. After we called them out they apologized for there behavior stating they didn’t mean to do so intentionally, they just forgot about us.

I stay not in oriella hotel but stayed in taksim doorway suites its a 3rd class hotel at all, I never recommend anyone to stay there

No hot water in winter !!
