Can`t believe they have the audacity to take money from people.
Let`s start with location. While it is in a decent location-for WALKING to where you want to go- it is also in a location inundated by traffic and noise!!
Next, the outside of the hotel: it looks decent, more like someone`s home than a hotel; at least to me in the few minutes it took to get inside.
And then it starts to go downhill, fast!! Walking into the lobby there was a man behind the desk who seemed very anxious; anxious to please, anxious because I was speaking English, anxious because I was about to see the nastiness of the hotel? I don`t know, just overly anxious.
The "bellhop" collected my two bags and took them to the very small elevator (normal in Turkey) and up to my room. I waited and went by myself to my room. After stepping off the elevator onto the 3rd floor, the fray and overall mustiness took over. Everywhere I looked and stepped something was falling apart at the seams; carpets, wallpaper, steps, lights, you name it, it was looking bad!
Of course by this time I was dreading looking in my room. I was not disappointed. It was exactly as I was expecting it; frayed, dirty, worn down, decrepit. I was afraid to touch the carpeted floor with my stocking feet, so used the provided paper slippers. Areas of wallpaper were DIRTY! The "throw" at the bottom of the mattress was disgustingly dirty, I removed it immediately. The very think "spread" (?) and sheets were clean- or I would have left!!
