Bilek Istanbul Hotel

Hôtel bien situé mais qui mériterait de sérieux travaux d’isolation … on entend absolument tout … et je suis un peu sourd … c’est correctement frais mais on sent la gloire passée moitié des machines qui ne fonctionnent pas à la salle de sport. Seul en voyage d’affaires ça passe ( a condition d’avoir tarif préférentiel) à éviter en couple ou pour moment romantique…

About the location its near the metro station and there are resturants and cafees neerby no gardins its on big main street there are malls about 1 km or so.
Pros
-The hotel was very clean
-room size big
-Reception are very friendly
Cons
-Old furniture
-Not all stuff speak english
-breakfast is not varied

Its a very good hotel, the lock is very good and everything are near, the stuff are very nice and good, the food is good and nice, but the hotel are not that much clean, i found a dirty towel in the cabinet since i arrived, they changed it an clean everything but it was really shocked to see that

Un hotel excelentemente situado en Estambul, pero que desgraciadamente ha quedado desfasado en todos los sentidos. Una recepción oscura y poco agradable. Habitaciones antiguas y faltas de renovación. Mal aislamiento térmico y acústico.

Las habitaciones disponen de camas confortables al menos y los cuartos de baño son simplemente correctos. El buffet de desayuno es muy malo en cantidad y pocas opciones.

La wifi funciona relativamente bien. El gimnasio es un desastre, sin atención ninguna y con máquinas en su mayoría de los casos desconectadas y con una humedad al estar en el 2º sótano.

En definitiva, no recomendaria este hotel en absoluto

On arrival they insisted I pay 100% in advance. I had taken a suit which was well past it’s best. The room stank, it was dreadful, it is clearly a smoking room, opening windows did little to alleviate the stench and after 3 days all my clothing now stank. The carpets were stained and looked dreadful, furniture was chipped, marked and stained in place well in need of replacing. There were used nappies outside the room where my patio door went, not mention the fall as there were no safety rails outside.
There is no way that this hotel in 4*. There were about 10 of us in total there and we all go back to Istanbul in May and we have all said never again. The breakfast was dreadful, only options if you wanted a drink was water, coffee or tea. No juice!! The toast machine barely functions, put your bread through 4 times and it’s still not toasted. The food choices left my team perplexed, no effort to cater for international customers. Room service, well you can’t credit it to your room as they have taken your payment at check in, so the steward insists on cash only!! Nice touch that…. Not…
Yes I did ask to be moved, as my room stank so bad, but reception did nothing and promptly forgot my issue, why would they care they already had my money in full. The WiFi was rubbish, it blocked playing games online and other sites such as this one!! Even Apple news struggled. It would not work if my VPN was on.
One day there was a drilling in the room above for hours, nice touch of torture that. Oh and the bath water came out brown…
In summary one to avoid. My group will stay up the road in another hotel next time.
AVOID
