Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Yatak içe çöküktü ve dönerken bile çok ses çıkarıyordu tuvaletin maalesef ki sifonlu çalışmıyordu kullanamadık ve çok şaşırdık yerlerde yapış yapış ve tozluydu buzdolabında önceden kalan bozuk yiyecekler vardı odada çöp yoktu ve iki kişilik olmasına rağmen tek terlik vermişler istedik getireceklerini söylediler fakat getirmediler yani kısacası sadece üşümedik dışarda yatmaktan tek farkı buydu

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.

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.

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.

Catastrophic!

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😔

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.
