I booked this hotel because of the pool. But the pool opened at 12pm and it was very uncomfortable swimming in the pools as the staff kept telling us to be quiet as people were having messages. Even though we were not even making any noise. We felt like we was not wanted. Some days they opened the pools at 1pm. Which wasted all our morning.
It’s so bad service
No air conditioning , too much noise in room! Fine breakfast, nice staff , walkable to taksim square! Small rooms
Very dirty not clean at all all inside interior is very very old and the power cut off. Suddenly I called them please my powers off and he’s upset so I’m not gonna recommend for anybody. I hope your website take out this hotel from your list because it’s gonna be Affecting your website thank you
I will never stay again
Room was comfortable but you could hear external noise from the street, corridor and other rooms Swiming pool is open only from 12 to 6pm no towels are provided for the pool Very close to public transport and main shopping area Breakfast was good, providing a good variety of foods Staff were mostly friendly Overall is a good stay near Taksim Square
Front desk being rude.
Worst hotel ever!
The worst hotel I've ever been too. The pics are misleading. The manager himself is extremely rude. When we checked in, the hotel room was burning hot. When we turned on the A/C and fan, the noise was so loud, we couldn't hear anything else. On top of that, the air coming out was hot too. When We asked, we were told that it's central system and the heating is on at the moment not the A/C. It was hot outside and they still had the heaters on. My entire family didn't sleep all night. We came downstairs at 3AM to complain again, and we were told that we'll need to talk to the manager. In the meantime, they gave us a pedestal fan, which itself was was loud. In the morning, when we spoke to the manager to complain, he in turn started yelling at us! Basically told us to suck it up or get out. If management is like that, what could the rest of the staff do? This hotel included breakfast, and it was horrible too. Food looked like it was days old. To top it all off, I saw twice, they were allowing guests to bring in prostitutes. PROSTITUTES! What kind of hotel is this????? Never again! Stay away if you can. The pictures are staged, the rooms are not as they're shown. Only fools would stay here. If I can give 0 stars or 0 rating to any hotel, this would be it!
never stay in this hotel a lot things happen there first you can sleep well a lot noise during the nighttime it doesn't feel like hotel just like motel is the worst hotel ever that I stay
الموقع ممتاز
الفندق في تقسيم موقع ممتاز قريب من كل احتياجاتك حتى المترو افضل ما فيه الاستقبال مدير الاستقبال السيد vedat .للأسف الفندق مزعج قليلا وخاصة في الليل من السكان وانتقال الأصوات بين الغرب
Ok first the hotel was clean.props to that.however the bathroom was too small and when we went to use the pool at 6:15 we were told it was close.not much selection in the breakfast area.
Gréât staf
Very nice staff
I will not advice any of my friend for this hotel.
Everything is ok expected the guest's services was unexpected from the hotel as 1) internet was bad not strong. 2) they not supply the supplement everyday free bottle of water , they are asking for a payment. 3) tea & coffee back they refuse to supply every day they want to charge for it !!!! All hotel 3 star in Istanbul they gives free. 4) in breakfast only 1 type of tea no tea back available & if I asked them to have omelets the want to change money extra. 5) the breakfast is very normal as 2 or 3 star hotel's not as 4.8 star . I really was shocked for what i pay.
Hotel was so basic , nothing like the pictures on website
Horrible stay
One of the staff assisted us to our room. Except for their air conditioning, it's horrible cause it's too hot. We called the Receptionist about it and responded immediately but only said that it's the maximum degree of cooling and then left us. Please recheck your rooms once you check in so you'll get a good night's sleep.
Worse hotel in istanbul
Mnot happy about my staying!! I won’t go back again their staff wasn’t polite!!!
I have A LOT to say about this hotel, currently in a complaints process. Avoid booking this hotel, photos and description is a complete lie and they ruined my mother’s 50th birthday.
The location was handy but the hotel was being refurbished.
Close to takseem square..............................
AVOID THIS HOTEL. YOU'LL BE PISSED OFF.
1. Room Cleaning Service - non existent 2. Pool - never available 3. Staff - RUDE, but definitely up for a smile when time to tip 4. We stayed for nearly a week, and in that time we saw customers fighting with reception staff, wrong rooms, everyone's rooms dirty, instead of changing sheets they just flipped them over, dirty towels folded and put back, 4. Tried to over charge by 50 Lira when ordering a cab through them at reception 5. Breakfast menu - CRAP, UHT Milk, No Fresh Milk, despite having had them confirmed before hand, if you're going from the UK, you can forget toast and scrambled eggs - or eggs of any kids for that matter! what they call European and Continental Menu is cornflakes with UHT milk. Breakfast was supposed to be available till 10, but IF you have the bad experience of every staying there, you'll see them start picking stuff up at 9.30 - 9.45, just clearing out buffet side and when you ask them, even though they all have conversational english, the answer will be 'no no dont know time finish' its just pathetic, when you have kids with you its just so annoying Just a really rude, unpleasant, unprofessional all round service, there was guests from all over the world staying and so many of them fighting at the reception counter over the same things, all round bad experience, really upsetting when you spend so much money and just expect a little courtesy
Seminal Hotel
Great location. Short walk to the metro station to Taksim square. Wifi was not fantastic but the staff are friendly and helpful.
Acceptable
Location is good but that is the reason why you want to book an hotel in Taksim. I think in Istanbul you can find a much better hotel for the same price.Everything looks cheap in this hotel,the tv no working properly same as the fridge with was just there as a piece of forniture.Breakfast had not a good selection of food and was pretty disappointed for being Turkey..
Great location
At first the location of hotel is great near Taksim Square and metro,all you need are near you from markets and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was acceptable. I recommend it
Great hotel.
I had a triple on an upper floor. It was spacious and clean. There is an AC and it was good enough. The window also opens so fresh air is available. It's a touristy area, but was quiet at night. There are a few shops nearby to buy water and things for the room, in addition to lots of restaurants nearby. Its very close to the Taksin Metro, Istaklal, Gezi Park, and the Airport Bus stop. There is breakfast which consists of scrambled eggs, lots of breads, meats and cheeses, cereals, juices, coffee, etc. It wasn't the best I've had, but it was ok. There's an indoor pool that is free for guests, plus a spa where you can get various treatments for a fee. The elevators stop whether you press up or down which was odd indeed. The WiFi worked. I would stay here again.
Terrible AC , fridge doesn't work if u leave room
Seminal Hotel
the location was excellent. the room was fairly small but comfortable. the room was advertised with breakfast, but we were asked to pay 5 lira for eggs and a further payment for orange juice. We were not told it was not a full breakfast.
Au top
För dåligt
Jätte otrevliga personal , nästan ingen talar engelska så bra heller!! Luktar rök överallt rekommenderar ej
Veldig fint hotel, nær sentrum, fin lobby. God frokost :)
Ich war sehr zufrieden für den preis Verhältnis
Dışarıda bankta yatın bu otele gitmeyin
Otel görevlilerinin müşterilere olan ilgi ve alakaları son derece düşük seviyeliydi. Oda cok soguktu.temizlik sıfır. Ozellikle resepsiyondaki gorevli son derece ukala ve seviyesizdi.
Die Zimmer sind sehr geengt, was auf den Fotos anders wirkt. Der Pool steht nur eine kleine Begrenzte Zeit zur Verfügung( 12-18). Umgebung ist sehr laut da das Hotel mitten in der Stadt ist und man das Gefühl hat Istanbul schläft nie. Für die Erkundung der Stadt ist es geeignet.
Otel merkezi yerde olması cok iyi fakat inanılmaz odalar ufak ve çok fazla ses alıyor. Resepsiyon güler yüzlü fakat kat görevlileri sanki zorla çalışıyor derecesinde suratsız
2 pluspunt lokatie en vriendelijkheid personeel Badkamer niet echt fris en hygiënisch Kamer vrij klein
Unprofessional vibe in many aspects
I cannot recommend this hotel for many reasons.
Top Lage aber schlechtes Hotel
Comfort not as expected. Breakfast is good. Bath and accessories not sufficient.
Hôtel tres salle
Chambre tres salle frigo aussi On a pres cette hôtel pour la piscine mais on a nager une fois apres toujours piscine fermée!!!!!!! L'effectif tres racistes (pas tous mais la majorité) Sur tout a l'accueil Je vous conseille de penser 1000 fois avant de réserver a cette hotel on a gâcher notre vacances
a lot of noise, looks like the room is not washed. I booked a non-smoking room. The room I got. people have smoked inside before me. Got sick of it. Last day ruined my whole vacation.
Jätte dåligt hotell obekvämt
Jätte dåligt hotell och obekväm
Småt , ødelagt seng , men godt forhold til lokalitwt
Alles in Ordnung. Gemütlich und Sauber. Reiches Frühstück
Slecht en vies hotel! Echt niet doen! Verblijven ook alleen maar toeristen geen enkel Turkse gasten. Daarnaar hygiene echt vies. Vieze vlekken overal en de douche heel slecht
Güzel bir otel
Otel konum olarak süper yemekleri de yeterli rahatça konaklama yapılabilir bir otel tavsiye ederim
buffet oli hyvää ja majoituksen ei ollut kiva koska se oli niin kuuma
