Deceiving

It tricks you, pictures of room do not match actual. There is another hotel named same but other is better location its close (walking distance of most turist attractions) this hotel is far, so needed to take uber at all time thus increased cost. and to deceive you more, it cost same as other that has better location. no water, no iron, needed to ask for toilet paper, breakfast not included 10 Euros and need to walk for 10 min to other hotel and menue is more continental so for that price can enjoy something better on local coffee shop. i usually never complain, just feel people need to be aware and hotels.com shouldn't even have this hotel on app. very disappointed

Berbat

Ekonomik odaları Bodrum katta bulunuyor. Bu odalarda pencere olmadığı için havalanmıyor ve rutubetten ve kokudan uyuyamıyorsanız. 2 odayı ince bir suntayla birbirinden ayırmışlar. Sadece yattığınız odayı kilitleyebiliyorsunuz tuvalet banyosu oda dışında ve karşısında ortak kullanılan kıyafet dolabı var. Oda çok dar zaten. Ayrıca Odalar pis. Odalar klimayla ısınıyor güya ama doğru düzgün çalışmıyor yani soğukta yatıyorsunuz. Otel dar bi sokak içine konumlanmış etrafında dükkanlar var. Girişi lobiye falan da benzemiyor. Otel değil pansiyon bile denmez oraya. Uyurken zor nefes aldım. Aklınızı seviyorsanız gitmeyin.

Es ist ein kleines hotel, auf jeder ebene (4) sind 2 zimmern. meine empfehlung wäre im obersten stockwerk mit Blick nach hinten buchen, da hat man eine sehr gute Ausicht auf istanbul, weiter unten ist die Aussicht eingeschrenk. . Es liegt nahe vom Galata Turm, und der Metro Station. Zu Fuss ist man in 15-20min am Ägyptischen Pazar. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich Zimmer/Dusche waren sauber.

فندق خساره فيه خمسه دولارات.

الفندق من أسوئ الفنادق، أول شيئ العاملين في الفندق وخاصه في الريسبشن سيئين، لايوجد خدمه غرف، الفندق ليس فيه مصعد، تحجز بالفندق بأمور على أساس موجوده كغلايه الماء والقهوه والمكواه وتتفاجئ أنهم غير موجودين، أنا حجزت غرفتين، وسلموني غرفه واحده في اليوم الأول وفي اليوم الثاني سلموني غرفتين في الطابق الخامس، وأنا حجزت مع فطور وقالو ليس لك فطور، علما أن الفطور سيئ ومقرف. لاأدري أين وزاره السياحه التركيه من هؤلاء، يعني بالإجمال الفندق سيئ، وكل مايقال في مواقع الحجز كذب وترويج زائف.
