Oz Cinar Hotel

It’s close to the airport Istanbul Sabiha. The staff is helpful (but they speak almost no English). The guy at the reception desk helped us to order a taxi. Also he kindly provided another room instead of the one I describe below.

Everything else... 1. When we entered our room, it strongly smelled cigarettes inside. The smell couldn’t go out even with the open window. The TV was on. 2. Small light on the wall didn’t work. 3. Slippers for one-time use were already used and dirty inside. 4. Bed linen was a bit dirty. 5. Small light near the bed and the power socket were destroyed. 6. The air condition was very dirty. 7. The bathroom looks horrible. It has mold on the walls and floor. 8. There’s a hole in the wall near the bed, scratches and dirty marks everywhere. 9. The freezer has dead cigarette marks and a bit dirty inside. 10. The door of the room had only one lock that couldn’t close well. If someone is trying to open the door from outside it opens for 5cm, then stops. 11. Etc., etc.

Location - just short walk to the train station

This place is extremely run down - so trashy and smelly. In my room it was broken almost everything including leaking toilet and shower head. Dirty walls with flaking paint and wallpapers and sticky stuff on it. I had to remove bedding as it was not washed from previous guest(s) with bad stains of lipstick and hairs all over it. I have only stayed as it was late at night and I was tired from my flight. Disgusting experience!

Nothing to like

Worse "hotel" ever from my point of view and i can add some details: 1.towel and bed sheets wet and stincky(too much dirt everywhere) 2.noise, you couldn't get any proper sleep 3.staff didn't speak any English 4.quite area but with any shops around

It had the facilities needed, and location was good for what I wanted.

Breakfast wasn't until 9am, it was rather basic and small, and got smaller as the week progressed, so I bought extras to supplement the breakfast. Air conditioning was dubious and water was turned off at intervals - staff always happy to turn on but nice just to have it when you want it.
