Lal Hotel

I want to highlight that this hotel is horrible, No hygiene and the equipment does not work (air conditioning and REFRIGERATOR). In addition, there are all types of ticks and insects that you can not even imagine. I killed more than 8 ticks and insects in less than 10 min. All those reasons pushed me to do checkout at 04AM and look for another hotel. Avoid this hotel as much as you can. You will find below pictures of the insects. Date: 23 July 2022

The hotel is near Aksaray tram station which connects you to most of Istanbul's sightseeing but that is the only good thing about it. Rooms are quite small and hard to move in. Bed sheets and towels are covered with stains. The bathroom is in horrible state rust and molds everywhere. Breakfast same every morning and basic. WiFi works in the lobby but elsewhere disconnects often. Personal, not friendly when you tell them about problems. I wouldn't choose it ever again.

It is rated 3* but I would not give them more than 1 *. I have never seen a smaller room. There is no room to open a suitcase. The closet is too small even for 1 person and it was a double room. Breakfast is poor. Staff is unprofessional. My friend accidentally spilled coffee on a sheet and a towel, and manager ask 18€ for compesation. Dangerous neighbourhood! Shouting, commotion, and fighting could be heard on the street, in front of the hotel, every morning around 5 AM. One of those mornings someone got assulted, and there were multiple injuries. The police and ambulance had to be called, and the whole area had to be cordoned off.
