The mould in the shower is inches thick. The skirting boards and cornices are falling off, the air conditioner doesn’t work. Expedia are not helpful at all. The whole experience has been very disappointing
The room was small, dirty, dark and no maintenance. Lights were.dull and.just hanging. Bed had good mattress but base was collapsed in one corner so mattress sagged at head. Door to balcony had big gap around it, wouldn't open or close. Balcony was cover in bird feather and poo. Not that we could get out anyway. Had to turn off air conditioner because it was so noisy. Carpet was disgusting.
Staff were indifferent.
The pictures on Wotif aren't the same as the rooms in this hotel. This is the second time we have booked through Wotif in Turkiye and this has happened. Won't be using Wotif to book any hotels in the future. They need to vet their clients better.
Very disappointed in the dishonesty of the hotel and Wotif.
We don't mind basic accomodation, in fact we normally stay in cheaper places. However being cheap doesn't mean some cleaning and maintenance standard can't be adhered to.

Lovely Hotel
Amazing location close to all Karaköy İstanbul activities and Galata area and Galata new port.
Staff polite and friendly. good service I have received there. I stayed one night so I didn't face the hotel bad side. Same as what happened in other three hotels during my long vacation stay.

Old Hollywood movie Hotel
The lobby of the hotel is hollywood movie memorabilia. The rooms are themed after cities around the world. The bathroom was spacious so was the room. Unfortunately, the room needed some loving, the wall paper was coming down. The bed was missing parts of the headboard, the ceiling had lots of water damage. Overall, it was a good stay, solid wifi.
The hotel was lovely. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and fresh. The bed was memory foam and very comfy. Only complaint was there were no blankets, only sheets on the bed. We could have asked the front desk for a blanket, but didn't. We used the extra sheets from the cot for more warmth. Not too bad. Excellent hotel, would recommend.
We spent 11 nights in Istanbul at 3 different hotels. This was the least enjoyable for a variety of reasons, though the room and en-suite bathroom were at least spacious and in good order. We stayed here for 4 nights.
Given the location on a pedestrianised side-street, it would be reasonable to assume that it would at least be a quiet location. Wrong! Taxis use this street as a rat-run, consequently the hotel's street-side tables are not as attracting as they might be. My wife was woken on several occasions by cars honking in the middle of the night.
The main issue I have with the hotel was the lack of engagement from the staff. Sure, they go through the motions checking you in, taking your luggage, etc, but I got the impression that they didn't really care about my visit. When I asked about how I might take a trip to the beach, they just wrote down the name of a town nearby without any other useful info.
Breakfast was rubbish. The first day there was at least a selection but on subsequent days there were simply plates prepared and covered with cellophane.
The hotel has 20-ish rooms, yet during our stay we only saw 2 other guests in the hotel; this made it feel a bit like a zombie hotel. The lack of other guest didn't even prompt the staff to be more attentive to us.
In summary, don't bother. You may be seduced by shiny pictures, but this place is entirely soulless. There are many, much better hotels in the same price range, where you will be treated like real guests.
Yatak başlığından çiviler çıkmış haldeydi, rutubet ve nemden tavan çürümüş, son derece bakımsız ve atıl vaziyette. Ücretiyle dahi kahvaltı yok, otopark yok.
The guys in the hotel were nice but the hotel is in a bad shape. Comfy bed and luckily a warm duvet, because my room was very cold. On the other hand my friend’s room was too hot. Water may or may not come.
Todo deteriorado tuve que mudarme de hotel ya habiendo hecho el pago , sucio , mal
Olor , nadie hace la limpieza , alfombra con un hoyo , humedad en el techo , cortinas extra sucias ,imposible para habitar a clientes
İnternette gözüken odayla hiç alakası yoktu odada havalandırma yoktu temizlik kötüydü balkon kapısı harici cam yoktu. Oda çok küçüktü ve konfor olarak hiç rahat değildi. Çalışanlarda hiç ilgili değildi. Duvarlar o kadar inceydiki bütün ses odadaydı uyumak imkansız gibi bişey. Hiç memnun kalmadım odadanda verilen hizmettende.
Dirty room, leak in the shower and the sink, small duvet for a double bed, the check in delayed until 2:30 p.m. for cleaning, basically very bad experience given the attitude of the receptionist rather rude and insolent, I do not recommend this hotel to nobody.
If they put it on sale on sahibinden it is for a reason !!!
Negative charge in all atmosphere😔
