We were not very impressed with this place or with Irem as a host. You can definitely get a lot better in Istanbul for the price.
A couple days before our stay we asked Irem if we could check in early, but we said it was no problem if we couldn’t. The day of our arrival she told us our room was ready an hour and a half before our stay. We were so thankful & came immediately but found the room wasn’t ready after all. The cleaning crew had barely even begun cleaning. We let Irem know but she never apologized or even tried to explain anything. She acted as though everything was fine. (Same with the cleaning crew). We thought this was very inconsiderate & unprofessional. We waited in the stairwell with all our bags while our room was being cleaned. Talking to Irem on the phone she told us our room would be ready in 10 minutes but it was actually closer to 45 minutes before our room was finally ready (at around 1 o’clock- the normal check-in time.) We certainly didn’t feel welcomed or that we could trust what she told us.
During our stay we needed to work on things that required internet, which was frustrating with how spotty the wifi was. And also we would run out of hot water when taking showers.
