Great location for shopping and public transport. Hotel was clean. The lift is outdated and didn't look safe to use so we used the stairs instead. The room was very very small, if you are claustrophobic or slightly overweight this hotel is not for you. reception staff could use a smile. overall I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you are desperate.

Zimmer waren stets sauber und wurden auch immer wieder gut sauber gemacht ein Problem war das dass Zimmer klein war 13m2 aber das war ja meine Schuld hätte das größere Zimmer nehmen müssen bei einem nächsten Besuch würde ich das auch machen da das Hotel an sich sehr schön war Fahrstul passen nicht so viele rein frühstück war gut also ganz normal im Nachbar Restaurant Personal war sehr freundlich und wollten so gut wie es geht immer helfen Bett war gemütlich Fazit ich würde ein größeres Zimmer nehmen und in einer hören Etage wegen der Lautstärke

Ich habe für ein paar Tage im The Nest Hotel übernachtet. Das Hotelzimmer war in Ordnung – die Größe des Zimmers sowie des Betts war gut, und das Bett war sauber und bequem. Das Frühstücksbuffet hatte viel Auswahl und war lecker! Ein kleiner Hinweis: Das Badezimmer hätte etwas gründlicher gereinigt sein können, und es wäre wünschenswert, wenn ausreichend Toilettenpapier zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Zudem war es teilweise gegen Uhrzeiten wie 1-3 Nachts ziemlich laut, da draußen Straßen-Bauarbeiten mit einem Pressluft-Hammer vorgenommen worden.. Positiv hervorheben möchte ich jedoch die sehr freundlichen Mitarbeiter, die stets hilfsbereit waren, sowie die hervorragende Lage des Hotels – ideal, um die Umgebung zu erkunden. Insgesamt war mein Aufenthalt angenehm, mit kleinen Verbesserungspotenzialen im Bereich der Badezimmerhygiene!

**My Disappointing Stay at The Nest Hotel, Istanbul** I recently stayed at The Nest Hotel in Istanbul for four nights and wanted to share my frustrating experience. I booked through Expedia using the "pay at property" option, expecting to settle the bill at check-in. However, the hotel charged my credit card at 8 AM before I even arrived. When I inquired about it, the staff informed me they don’t offer that option, even though my booking confirmation clearly stated it. One staff member, Mehrnoush, was particularly rude, dismissing my concerns and insisting I had made a mistake. Despite showing my confirmation, she refused to acknowledge the issue. To make matters worse, the hotel charged me CAD 10 more than my confirmed amount—CAD 502 instead of CAD 492—with no explanation provided. Additionally, they ran out of basic amenities like toothbrushes, which were never provided during my entire stay. Lastly, the room didn’t match the photos online, with noticeably lower quality. Overall, my stay was disappointing due to the unprofessional staff, unexpected charges, and misleading advertising. I would not recommend this hotel if you're looking for a hassle-free experience.
