I would never come back even if they paid me!!! They gave us a basement room with 3D mold growing thick on the walls and smelling so bad you cannot breathe. The window opened only 5cm so that didn't help. I asked for a different room at the same price rate but they said they don't have any other but they can offer a different one if we pay another 50£ (900try). When questioned the mold issue he just said that this is what is posted on the website. It was very late at night so we asked if we can just stay one night and get a refund for the other 2.they said that was fine. We checked out in the morning and contacted Expedia, but the support center called them and he hung up multiple times, and then they denied the refund. I developed a terrible cough after one night there that I'm still dealing with after 4days....also there was a lot of noise that woke me up every hour. The socket was also detached from the wall, and the sink was so small that you could not wash your hands properly. The bathroom stinked of mold as well. This is the worst place I've ever been in and with the thickest, densest mold. If I have an option to add pictures I will

Unfortunately photos are not real and rooms much dirtier and more uncomfortable. Standard room is a small room on the -1 floor with very small window and very wet air. We asked for a different room and paid additionally. Bathrooms were dirty, and the area where the hotel is located is no so safe and calm. Staff are friendly and tried to help as they were able.

Poor Cleanness
The reception was not clean. The bathroom also was not clean. We could not take the free breakfast at 9:20 AM because there is nothing and just a dirty place. It was a poor overall experience.

Terrible
It was a terrible hotel and a terrible room. The person incharge offered me an other room in case of a new payment. I had to pay 120 tl more to get a better room than worse..The photos loaded in your site are all fake. The reality is very different. He was also very angry to me when I said the toilet flush is not working..I am cheated by your application and request my money back..
