Topkapi Golden Time Hotel in Istanbul

Base on what you want from a hotel it was good. although rooms are small with dim light but as a place for sleeping it was acceptable. Specialy near access to T1 line and bus station easily can access any part of Istanbul.

Rooms are acceptable, it is cheap and very close to topkapi park, panorama, bezantian wall and Aksarai; carrefour is close to it and many restaurants are also close - one problem is that most of the employees do not speek English!

Nice location

There is nothing much about this place. It is cheap and great location for business and work trip. you can count on it only for a place to sleep at nights.

There are many problems such as they do not clean the rooms and the bathroom is very bad and the door lock is not good if you drink a tea and nescafe in the lobby it's expensive

Okay, where do I start.
First of all, the owner gave us the wrong room but in the end we got the right one. Then, water leaked from somewhere causing it to drip from the ceiling and onto a bed. The next day, water was dripping again but this time in the bathroom. The whole bathroom floor was wet. We called at the reception and told them. They said they would clean it but didn't do it. If I weren't able to speak Turkish fluently, I'd have serious problems because no one know English here. I tried speaking English first.

The air conditioner appears to be timed. It just shuts off sometimes.
The whole building smells weird. We regularly open the window in our room because it smells like smoke and jist dusty. The beds are hard like stone. There is really slow WiFi which sometimes is disabled and there is only ONE single plug which actually was used for the empty refrigerator. There were weird brown/rusty stains on the towel and violet ones on the blanket. At least there is a TV with local channels only. Conveniently, there is a market right around the corner and the train/bus stop is also just a few steps away.
