Guest Reviews

• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Ngadhnjim (9/5): Superb - Staff is very friendly. Very clean rooms. Great value. Good location. Worth it There was only one slight issue with the LED strip lights which we couldn't find a switch or remote to turn them off. We turned the breaker off because we wanted dark room during the night
• Sajah (10/5): Exceptional - The location is exceptional, right in the center close to everything. Many sites within walking distance. The staff was also great, very friendly and helpful. 10/10
• Kenneth (7/5): Good -
• Nik.lö (7/5): Would stay here again... - Property was very clean, it was comfortable and was in the centre of everything, using the tram was more helpful to get to where we needed to go... The owner was very ignorant and not helpful when needed something... There's no reception and no restaurant for breakfast so you have to walk out of the building to find a place to eat... Also there's no sign on the door to find the hotel so was tricky when getting a transport to and from the hotel to the airport or when ordering food...
• Claudia (5/5): Passable -
• Abdulhafeez (9/5): Superb -
• Ivan (7/5): Good - Good: pleasant stuff; perfect location Bad: toilet needs renovation (there is hole in the sealing above the shower; it’s hard to find (there is no house number, some sign); there was no slippers or any carpets so floors are really cold; there was no soap; really bad lighting (you have two choices: absolute bright light or non).
• Sadia (1/5): Bad -
• Alexander (9/5): Superb -
• Brandon (9/5): Good Value for money, Good Responsiveness. As advertised. - Good value for the money. Not fancy, but fine as expected. Easy to use. Owner was responsive and helpful Room was clean and furnished as advertised. Easy to walk to sites. Metro decently close.
• İrem (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best places to stay in Istanbul! A few minutes walk from many transportation networks and in the city center. Very close to everywhere to see in the city. The price-benefit ratio is amazing. If you need anything, the staff is very helpful and takes care of it immediately. The rooms are very spacious and have all the basic amenities you need during your accomadition. Staying here will definitely be the best choice for your trip to Istanbul. We will be back for sure. Thanks for everything! 😊
• Diana (9/5): Superb -
• Zoubair (10/5): Exceptional -
• Haris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Agnieszka (7/5): Good price, interesting neighbourhood - We liked to be near the historical centre and near the Galata bridge. The neighbourhood is poor but we felt safe there and people were very nice. There were many soaps and shampoos in the bathroom. A mosquito net in the window would be great. The bathroom needs repainting. Blankets in the wardrobe and armchairs need deep cleaning.
• Jaıma (10/5): amazing - One of the nicest and cleanest hotels I have visited in Istanbul. I recommend it.
• Abdul (3/5): Poor - Nothing I stayed there for two nights in a ground-floor room that appeared to be converted from a café. The room had a large window covered by just a single curtain, and the mattress quality was quite poor. Additionally, the bathroom had inadequate drainage, which was quite inconvenient.
• Diana (10/5): Perfect stay for your Istanbul adventures - spacious room, very clean, facilities are well taken care of, comfortable beds, fridge and electric kettle in the room. The rooms are as in the pictures shown! Staff is friendly and helps however they can. WiFi is not strong, but enough for personal usage. The area is quiet. Just a few minutes walk away there is a big bus station to go anywhere, also a street with many local food options that are suitable for the small budget. You can hear people in the hallway outside the room
• Rosen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rashda (8/5): Very good -
• Anca (9/5): Superb -
• Nihad (9/5): Superb -
• Hasan (9/5): Superb - Good
• Mohammad (10/5): Hospitality and our stay in retrol hotel was excellent , we ask for iron , was provided in 15 minutes . There was everyt - Cleanliness , facilities and positive behaviour and coordination of Mr Waseem , he is a top notch guy . Perfectly provided everything whatever we needed during our stay in Istanbul Nothing to describe, everything was excellent
• Ahmad (1/5): Stressful - Nothing The hotel had no sign. I spent an hour looking for it. Then I called the number in the email. But no one answered. I got an id of a different hotel when i called the number so i went to the other hotel which was a few hundred meters. The receptionist did not know anything about my booking. When i showed him the phone number he said this is hoa manager. Then spent an hour trying to contact the manager or find where the hell is Retrol hotel. It turns to be that Retrol hotel is not a legally registered hotel ( i guess for tax reasons) therefore they cannot have a sign to show the name on the street. It also seems that the manager (who works in 2 or more hotels) forgot about my reservation and no one else knows about it. After the problem caused by their neglecance, instead of apologizing, they insisted that booking is cancelled because of payment. Although they never asked me to pay and although i showed them the booking confirmation and details. They keep saying check with booking. Later they took me to a different place with a strong paint smell. I spent the night and they refused to apologise. I tried to contact booking for help but they did not reply neither. It was stressful and tiring as hell
• Hanade (10/5): Was very comfortable and clean and near everything - It was clean and renovated. The host Waseem was very responsive and accommodating . The property was near everything. It was within walking distance to everything that I wanted to see. It was clean and renovated. The host Waseem was very responsive and accommodating . The property was near everything.
• Nahed (10/5): Very comfortable - The property was very clean. The area was very nice. The staff were very professional respectful, especially the owner of the hotel. He was very understanding and amazing. I will definitely be coming back. There is no negative except the Wi-Fi is a little bit lagging, but that’s every everywhere in Istanbul Turkey not just a hotel
• Ali (10/5): Will come again - Very nice hotel Very clean big size very quiet
• Nicoleta (7/5): Good -
• Ehpecks (8/5): Very good - Clean and new Good tv Nice area but no elevator otherwise very good and clean lots of supplies
• Allix (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jafar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kamonwan (9/5): Good Location but weak WiFi - Big Room, near Metro and tourist spots. Weak WiFi
• Hossain (9/5): Amazing! - Nice and welcoming! Big room! Close to the metro and tram to go to any places including Ships! Highly recommended.
• Awais (1/5): Worst Experience ever!!! - Location is good. Horrible experience! Terribly unprofessional. Initially, everything was fine and checkin was smooth as well. We asked for iron and the manager gave us one in the morning. Next day in morning at 10, he texted us that he needs iron. I woke up and was about to reply when out of a sudden manager knocks the door and unlocks it with his master key within seconds while we were still in our bed. That’s invasion of privacy, a crime. And the audacity of the manager…he was still defending his actions. Also, no hotel reception though but the hotel manager will guide you throughout your stay. The room floor was dirty, bedsheets had tiny hair when we checked in. Shower had no spray speed. P.S. the manager’s name is Waseem. Slap him whenever you meet him.
• Sanan (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great thank to bro waseem
• Ortskho (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great! Thanks to brother Waseem
• Sonia (10/5): Exceptional - Location close to metro and super clean
• Demitri (10/5): Exceptional - New hotel nice stuff near to the metro station tramway station everything was good
• Karyna (4/5): It was comfortable to sleep, but room condition is disgusting, shower in terrible condition. My worst experience in Ista - Pillows and beds were really comfortable. Check in was quick and smooth. The administrator was available for requests. A/c works properly. Smart TV. 30 mins walk to Aya Sofia The room was very dirty so we even were afraid to touch everything or put our staff on surfaces. Old dirt on the floor and on surfaces. Shower is in terrible condition, there is mold everywhere. Bad sheets probably were washed but probably a long time ago because it didn’t feel fresh, with some spots and grey pellets on it. Despite the fact the accommodation is close to the center, it is located in slum area.
• Saeed (8/5): Very good -
• Ivanka (10/5): Exceptional - Very good hotel bigger rooms clean was good Near To Tramway station and Metro Station
