One of the worst hotels I've ever stayed

The room wasn't as I expected on the website. It looks bigger on the website. They might've made it by photoshop. These are really tiny rooms (you can't imagine bathroom). They didn't renew towels and slippers everyday. I always had to ask for it. The receptionist hardly could speak Turkish as they are Arabic and Türkmen. I wouldn't stay here again. It was too bad experience. Never ever again..

‼️Check reviews on Google before booking as Expedia reviews are fake‼️ This was the most dirty and disgusting place I have ever seen in my life, with the most sexist and racist staff members. There were: - mould on the walls and bathroom - dried blood stains on the mattress - bugs in the room - a peephole through the lock - a bedsheet with stains that does not cover the entire bed (which is how I saw the dirty mattress) - and last but not least, stuff members who laugh at customers and say “it’s dried blood! Not new blood” and “no one dies from mould”. Filthy place. Also the room will not look like the photos, the Leila hotel is actually 3 old buildings that should be torn down masking as “hotel” and first they put me in a basement room, but I booked a window room which cost most money, so I refused then they moved me to 2 more rooms before I could finally go into one, and the one I went into was horrid as described above. This whole ordeal also took 3 hours, the whole time the stuff members were laughing at me and one of them physically mocking my weight with puffing up their arms and face. They were incredibly rude and mean. Please don’t stay here.

Not Fit for Purpose I had a thoroughly disappointing experience at this hotel, and I cannot recommend it. First, I was assigned a budget room despite booking a standard one. This "budget" room was shocking: Located in the basement with no windows. The door couldn't be locked, and the door frame was falling apart. Behind a false wall, there was exposed, free-flowing water with a shoddy repair attempt in the middle. The pillows were yellow-stained, and the headboard had unidentifiable stains. The bathroom was covered in mildew. Disturbingly, both the room and bathroom mirrors had blood stains. The stairwell and corridor were filthy, with accumulated dirt in the corners and on the steps. When I complained, the staff initially insisted I had booked a budget room and demanded extra payment for an upgrade. After proving my original booking was for a standard room, they begrudgingly moved me to another room. Unfortunately, the second room was only marginally better: The door still wouldn’t lock. The bathroom was again full of mildew, which I ended up cleaning myself. The shower's extractor fan had overheated, melting through the plastic cover and leaving exposed live wiring—a serious safety hazard. On top of this, the main door to the building was left open 24/7, which felt very unsafe. To make matters worse, on two occasions, an extension lead ran across the street into a construction courtyard where noisy work continued late into the night. Avoid at all cost

Der Check-In war unproblematisch. Am Anreisetag haben wir erst spät Abends den Zustand des Zimmers gesehen da wir direkt losgegangen sind. Ich habe direkt Abends an der Rezeption Bescheid gesagt dass das Zimmer vor allem das Badezimmer extrem dreckig ist (wir haben die Toilette selber gereinigt damit wir sie überhaupt nutzen konnten) Man hat uns dann vergewissert das es am nächsten Morgen gründlich gereinigt wird. Als wir dann am 2. Tag abends ins Zimmer kamen haben wir gemerkt das grob durchgefegt wurde. Daraufhin bin ich erneut zur Rezeption gegangen und habe mich erneut beschwert. Ich habe den Mitarbeiter aufs Zimmer gebeten damit er es sich selber anguckt. Er hat Fotos gemacht. Ich habe ihn um ein anderes Zimmer gebeten, doch es war kein 3 Bettzimmmer frei. So haben wir dann die 2. Nacht in einem dreckigen Zimmer verbracht. Am Mittwoch dann wurde das Zimmer vor allem das Badezimmer so gereinigt das es einigermaßen genutzt werden kann. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht. Normalerweise müssten wir für die Übernachtung unser Geld zurückverlangen sogar entschädigt werden da wir selber putzen mussten um das Bad nutzen zu können. Definitiv ein schreckliches Hotel.

Rooms and bedrooms with moulds

The bedrooms had mould on the wall and the barhrooms had mould averywhere. The rooms and bathrooms were not cleaned at all and the sheets were not replaced every day. The bed was tidy up to give the impression that the sheets been changed. The rooms did not have some basic items such as mugs even thought the cattle was in the rooms. I would say that the towels were changed daily as well as the consumables were provided too.
