Carlton Hotel Old City

çok temiz ve ulaşım çok iyidir. kahvaltılarını da beyendim 👏

Temiz ve güzeldi tekrar gelebilirim

Lighting in the hotel was very dim. Would be better if it was brighter.

Tereddutte kalarak seçtiğim oteldi..ama gerçekten fiyat performans olarak çok memnun kaldığım yerdi.kahvaltisi çok iyi özellikle kahvaltıda görevli Hanife hanfendiyede ayrıca teşekkür ederim..istanbulda otel düşündüğümde ilk akla gelen yer olacak.

Where do I begin, to express the amount of troubles I had with Carlton Hotel Istanbul. At the check in, receptionist made mistake, charging my account twice for the stay. After I notice that, I went down to show him that mistake have been made on my account and there was a duplicate charge for my stay.He was keep repeating that he done nothing, I asked two other receptionists if they could correct the mistake, but they were kinda getting angry, I asked for manager but he/she was never seem to be there. Long story short, manager promised refund by email,but I never received it. Have to do chargeback trough bank to get my money back. Only good thing I find about this hotel is location. Generally, it's very dark everywhere, hallways, entrance, breakfast room. My room was not properly cleaned.AC not maintained, very loud, TV was working first 2 days, after that was gone.There were holes in curtains, I presume from cigarettes, as on the windowsill there was a lot of ash. Carpets were desperate looking, furniture as well. Cleaning staff was nice, they left fresh towels every day and toiletries, but cleaning was not up to standard for 4 star hotel. Bathroom is small, sewage smell from toilet, shower was leaking, bathroom was full of water after every shower. Breakfast room was very dark, you can barely see what you are eating. Food had strange taste, juices tasteless, some of them very sugary.Coffee was fine. There is a tipping box in breakfast room, but it is self service, so I don't quite understand the concept of that. I really cannot understand ,how is this hotel classiffied 4 star. I stayed in 2 Carlton hotels before in different countries, and they were spotless. I should have trusted reviews of this hotel, and not made booking ,solely relying on the name of it. Do yourself favour and book better place to stay.Istanbul is a beautiful city!

First the positive parts: Good selection at breakfast and great location. Now the negative: Small-narrow rooms, AC failed every now and then, it either had too much power or for no reason started to boost heat at 40ºC (in summer) which turned our room into a hammam. We asked the staff to fix it and they did...after we called 3 times and the situation, at 11 pm, was unbearable. Then we stayed at a different room on the second floor.. it was hard to walk with our luggage as there wasn't any space for it in the room, plus we had a window and an outside glass door that connected directly to a dark alley. The door had a chain but still it felt unsafe and noisy. We won't be staying again here. Our breakfast was included but we were leaving at 6 am so we asked the front desk if we could have some early breakfast / somthing just to nibble before leaving the hotel. The front desk told us it would possible but maybe not, that we would find out at 6 am !? Then of course at 6 there was nothing ready. (We were actually in a tour and the people staying at other hotels in the same street in supposedly to be hotels of inferior category but they got their early breakfast boxes). Horrible place, stay elsewhere.

The hotel and staff are horrible, breakfast is only good for a glass of water, they don't do any omelette or proper breads and staff is really rude. On the top rooms are dirty, concreted walls and carpet are really filthy. Bathrooms shower are like 1 sq metre where you can hardly move, it's better to spend another 20 pounds to stay in a better hotel,only point they get is for their location. The pic attached is of night Dury manager who was not only rude but had no training in customer service, totally frustrated guy, never had any kind of this horrible experience. Moreover they don't give you water everyday or even tea jn room service that's their policy which is not mentioned anywhere. Staff are just road side horrible individuals who are not at all trained. Hotel is just working due to its location.
