Chez Bore Butique Hotel

  : The staff helped us take our bags upstairs and the wifi was reliable
  : 1. The towels were filthy2. The mini fridge contained nothing but a suspicious vacuum-sealed bag of approx 500g mouldy cheese3. Most of the lights were broken, including bedside lamp 4. The bathroom smelled of sewage, which filled out room with the odour of faeces in the middle of the night when the door was left open5. The staff said we could stay an extra day, only to wake us up and throw us out of the hotel the next morning... that was very stressful especially as I was working remotely and had to find somewhere else to stay within very short notice. 6. Aside from assisting us with our bags, the staff were generally rather rude and unfriendly.7. The heating was not turned on and our room was freezing. We finally managed to communicate this to the staff, only to receive a "grunt" response... they clearly care more for their heating bill than the comfort of their paying customers 8. No window view... just the cold miserable sight of pigeon poop, rotten ply and industrial air vents9. The lobby looked like a hoarders living room (and this is coming from someone who grew up in a messy home).10. Whole hotel smelled musky and damp... poor air quality overall11. Mattress was unclean and ridden with bacteria... the skin on side of my partners face flared up with blackheads or some sort of pimples after sleeping on her pillowAt the end of the day you're paying hostel prices for a private room. Take it or leave it.

  : Great location in terms of being close to the main area in the city, local area is full of restaurants, cafés etc
  : It's in a very loud / crouded area in the evening with bars and restaurants nearby, which doesn't make it ideal for some, especially for children.

  : Excellent location and a decent sized room. Staff were friendly and efficient. Everything I needed was close by. I will definitely stay here next time I am in Istanbul.
  : For the price paid, very little. There was some noise from the surrounding bars and restaurants but that's what earplugs are for!

  : absolutely nothing
  : it’s a complete dirt, they never do a house keeping and they never change the towels. you have to take your trash can/ plastic bag outside! bed is horrible, mattress has a lot of liquid points.blows are the worst ever.need to mention that it has no elevator and very very tiny stairs, also it’s located on a small street you must go down and up for like 3 floors to get to the entrance.
