“ΑΘΛΙΑ , με το ζόρι μείναμε την πρώτη νύχτα! Την επόμενη βρήκαμε άλλο κατάλυμα και αποχωρήσαμε από αυτή την τρώγλη!”
Nothing about the place pleased us – the hotel was essentially a black hole. Our stay at Instabul Sydney Hotel in Istanbul (booking reference 6744848392) was a huge disappointment and nowhere near what a guest‑hosting hotel should be. The property sits in one of the worst, filthy and unsafe districts of Istanbul. From the moment we entered the room we were hit with extreme dirt and a total lack of cleanliness; the room reeked of mould, making our stay uncomfortable. The furniture was old, worn and visibly dirty, stained and looking abandoned. The bathroom was in a terrible state, damp, grimy and far from basic hygiene standards, clearly not cleaned for a long time. Heating was limited to a broken, filthy air‑conditioner that was covered in dust and raised health concerns, and there was no hot water. Although the hotel advertises breakfast, the offering was far from a proper breakfast. The breakfast area on the 6th floor has no elevator in the building, which is a serious issue. The dining space was unhygienic – a ceiling of tiles, exposed metalwork and a generally makeshift, neglected look. Food choices were almost non‑existent; the “breakfast” consisted of a few jams, hazelnut paste, bread, two whole eggs, a few slices of cold cuts and olives – hardly a hotel breakfast. When we asked for water they told us there was none to give us.
