Carvan hotel

“Hotel staff saving the day.”

The owners and staff of the hotel helped us fix a car defect and got it running again so we could keep traveling. Amazing staff who solved our car problem. No negative points.

“DISASTER”

The hotel is close to local tourist attractions. This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed at since I started using Booking. The photos are from when the hotel was new and no longer match reality. We booked a family room, but on arrival we were given two extremely small rooms (205 and 207) because of alleged electrical issues in the wing where our original reservation was. Access to the hotel is via very steep basement stairs, no elevator, and the hallway and staircases are so narrow that two people can’t pass each other, making it a nightmare to carry luggage. The rooms we received aren’t listed on the website; they’re tiny and dirty, with stained bed linen, filthy pillows, damaged flooring, and a mini‑fridge that didn’t cool. The window was broken and wouldn’t close—it had tape on one side—and there were swarms of mosquitoes in the room. The bathroom was a disaster: extremely small (if you bent over the sink, your backside hit the door), mold everywhere, a broken toilet seat, very outdated fixtures, a sewage smell, a melted exhaust fan, and a hairdryer with exposed, moldy wiring. After spending one night in these rooms and insisting, one of the rooms was swapped for a room in the wing where we had originally booked; that room was exactly what a normal room should be.

“Great location and value for money, but the Wi-Fi is a total disaster”

Prime Location: The hotel is excellently positioned, very close to all the main tourist attractions in Istanbul, and you can reach everything on foot or by public transport. Good Value: The price paid matches the services provided overall. Breakfast Included: The same menu repeats every day with little variety, but it’s a welcome convenience to start your day. Useless Wi‑Fi: The internet connection is completely non‑functional. They use cheap, outdated hardware (Wi‑Fi 4 / N300) shared across multiple apartments, which collapses under load. In a non‑EU country like Turkey, being left without working Wi‑Fi forced us into roaming data charges, racking up an extra €40+ unexpectedly.

The staff were friendly and the location is central, though the neighborhood isn’t the prettiest. The cleaning could use some improvement.
