Ethnica Hotel Old City

If there was a negative rating, I would definitely give one. Don't waste your money. This place is a dump. It is old, rundown, moldy, musty, and the rooms are so small you cannot even open your luggage. We booked for 4 nights and left after 2 (I don't know how we survived!). The beds are thin and rock hard, you can feel coils in your back. The mattresses are disgusting. There are no fitted sheets so the sheets come off the bed when you sleep. The bathrooms are tiny with black mold and showers that do not work. The water smells like rotting potatoes or sulfur. We had towels that were stained with orange dots. During our 2 night stay, the curtains fell off the wall, the toilet flush fell off the wall, the tap on the sink almost came out, the toilet clogged, we got locked out of our room many times as the lock didn't work. There was never anyone at reception, and when we tried to reach the owner to complain, he was never around. Save your money. This place is a garbage dump.

A super hotel in Istanbul. A very good value for money hotel. The main attractions are easily accessible on foot from here. It is easily accessible by public transport. Very nice and helpful staff. I would like to single out Ismail. Special thanks to him for his help in organizing the programs.
