Good hotel location. Big and beautiful room. Though toilet size is small. Poor pressure from rain headshower and no place to hang showerhead above the head. No glass to put toothbrush. No proper place to put clean tower except at below sink which is near to the floor (kinda dirty to put it there). FYI, This hotel only has 1 lift and long queue time especially during breakfast time.
Almost got kicked out of my room (standard room) and changed to economy room by Weingart management due to some events and prolly not enough room for them, eventhough I have booked way early, however, trip.com has assisted me to maintain my room after a long consultation. Big thumbs up by trip.com customer service.
I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying at Karakoy area and wont be facing the same issue as above from their management.
Overall, I’m okay with this hotel because, when I travel alone, I enjoy a bit of adventure. It’s located in a nice area full of restaurants and offers a great view from the balcony. Honestly, the balcony was the main reason I booked this hotel, and it was worth it — I had a relaxing time with some snacks and beer. The rooms look nicely decorated and quite modern.
At first glance, the hotel appears clean, but the reality is different. There’s dust in every corner, mold in the shower cabin, and hair on the bed under the sheets (as seen in the photo). To be honest, the sheets were clean. The blanket was in the wardrobe, but I can’t say for sure if it was freshly laundered. Part of the mirror in the bathroom was broken (as seen in the photo). One downside was the kettle cord, which was too short to reach the power outlet (as seen in the photo). I had to move the kettle next to the bed and plug it in there.
Regarding the service, I wouldn’t say they were particularly friendly, unlike other hotels I’ve stayed at in this area. When I arrived, there was some arguing downstairs. Later on, they had difficulty providing the Wi-Fi password, and there was no one at the reception when I left the hotel at 6 a.m. the next morning. I simply left the keys on the desk and manually opened the sliding doors by force.
All of these issues might make you hesitate to stay here, but I honestly enjoyed my stay. It’s a nice place, with a relatively decent room and a very good price. If you’re a single traveler and not too picky, this could be the right place for you.
