This property was not flash, but i absolutely loved it, it felt more like an apartment than a hotel, i had a baseroom room which was very spacious, cooking facilities, bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The bedding was something you would have at home not a hotel. I much prefer this type of experience when travelling over flashy hotels when I am out all day long and return late just to sleep. The price was very good. The hotel manager was very nice.

The sheets are dirty, the towels are dirty and stained, the curtains are broken and you can see inside the room from the outside. Although the price is low, it does not deserve this price.

It was very easy to find and to get into. Clean sheets, comfortable bed, everything worked, we could easily heat the rooms. Bathrooms Were spotless. Price definitely had a good return. Highly recommend it. Great to ace ground floor rooms if you can't climb steep staircase of this beautiful Ottoman era stone house. Excellent location

Liar hostel

The photos are a lie. The room I bought is also a lie. The price is acceptable because it is extremely cheap, but it is very wrong to try to sell it to people with false information. The room cleanliness bothered me a lot, the place was full of insects.

It should not be call Hotel.

This is 5 story building and each floor has 1 room but olny 3 room available.The rooms in 2nd,3rd floor are ok but the room in 1st floor is awful which made my freind moved to other place next day with saying "smells bad and too bright at night because lighting from the street".There is no reception.I had never seen anyone while staying there except a cleaning old couple on the first day.

They gave a totally different room than photos. Their excuse was that room couldn't be booked with such low price although there was just one photo in the website. I accepted the new room as I had luggages and didn't want to move. But towels and sheets was so dirty. When I asked cleaner lady to change them, she said they had just washed everything but those gray colors don't disappear. Plus, there was a few insects in the room. I could stay there just one hour and left after booking another place nearby. I accept that price was low but low price can not be an excuse for such bad service.

Berbat bir yer kesinlikle gitmeyin!! HiƧ resimlerde gƶrĆ¼ndĆ¼ÄŸĆ¼ gibi değil! Ä°yi yorumlar ya satın alınmış ya da fake hesaplardan oluşturulmuştur. Ä°nanmayın. Biz gittik bin pişman olduk. Tuvaletten gelen kƶtĆ¼ kokuyu mu anlatsam, pis nevresimleri mi. Klimadan Ƨıkan suyu bir hortumla pet şişeye aktarmaları mı ya da neredeyse bĆ¼tĆ¼n duvarın kĆ¼f tutmuş olmasını mı. Yatak kırık, tuvalet ve duş kabini pis. Havlu tuvalet kağıdı vs. yok. Mutfak berbat durumda her taraf pis. Pirizler nerdeyse tavanda, telefonu şarj etmek mĆ¼mkĆ¼n değil. Pencerelerden iƧeriye soğuk hava giriyor. Biz Ć¼Ć§ gĆ¼n konaklayacaktık.. Ä°stanbulā€™a gece vardığımız iƧin bir geceyi mecbur burada geƧirdik ama inanın ceketlerimiz ve ayakkabılarımızla yatakta uyuduk. Ha tabi o kƶtĆ¼ kokuları almamak iƧin burnumuza maske taktık ama nafile. Ɩyle pis, iğrenc ve korkunƧ bir yerdi. Apartmana bakan kişiye şikayetlerimizi bildirince ilk defa duyuyormuş gibi davrandı terbiyesiz. Kalmadığımız iki gecenin parasını geri alamadık. Az para vermiyoruz o paraları alkole vereceğine apartmanı yaşanacak bir yere Ƨevirebilir. Ä°stanbulā€™da gĆ¼zel vakit geƧirmek istiyorsanız buraya kesinlikle gitmeyin!!
