Victorious Hotel

Otele internetten rezervasyon yaptırdım ama oraya gittiğimde görünmüyor dendi ailecek rezil olduk bizi başka biyerde aşırı pis konaklamamıza olanak sağladılar peçete yoktu çöpler dolu duş kıl içinde dükkan içine yatak koymuşlar biz siteden para alırız sitenin suçu bizim değil dediler

Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar. Está limpio y el personal es muy amable, accesible y servicial. Llegamos a las 5 de la mañana (el registro debe ser a las 2 de la tarde) y nos consiguieron una habitación para dormir hasta que pudiéramos registrarnos adecuadamente en nuestra habitación reservada alrededor de las 12.00. La comida es estupenda, además el desayuno está incluido. Una víspera terminamos charlando y jugando al ajedrez con uno de los miembros del personal, quien nos dio consejos sobre lugares para visitar. En cuanto a la ubicación, es genial: en una calle secundaria mayoritariamente tranquila, con muy poco tráfico de automóviles, pero también en una zona bastante animada, con mucha gente y buenos lugares para comer a precios razonables, es relajante y amigable. Está a 5 minutos a pie de una parada de tranvía (küçükpazar), que está a 1 parada de Eminönü y de las principales atracciones turísticas. También es un viaje corto a Balat y Fener, que vale la pena ver. Finalmente, ¡las camas son realmente cómodas para dormir bien después de un día completo de visitas turísticas!

We were given the run around by the proprietor. When we arrived we told our booking had been cancelled and we were lodged in a decrepit building. Being late night we had no option but to put our heads down. Vague promises were made to move us to a better establishment. Had to move to another location. We were not the only ones put through this ordeal...AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE...unless you want your holiday completely ruined!!

You get what you pay for, I can't complain. I was attempting to do Istanbul on a budget and stayed here one night. Do not recommend the area, Fatih is not a tourist area for westerners or lone women, let's make that clear. The first room I was given was on the ground level and extremely near the open restaurant area which claims to be no smoking, but my room absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. The bed was hard, there was a hair on the top sheet and the bathroom was just showing its age. Don't get me wrong, the term 'no smoking' appears to be universally ignored here, I get it, Turks love a smoke, but I have asthma. I asked the younger man on reception if Fatih is dangerous or unsafe for lone women, he rolled his eyes so far they almost fell out and laughed at me, dismissing me as if my observation was wrong. Let's get this straight, I'm pretty savvy and have been to some terrible places, but Fatih was like visiting a reenactment of an 80s Kosovan war site. There are decrepit buildings and kids playing in rubble. Older men line the street selling objects on the floor. No doubt this hotel looks good if you're on a budget but unless you're desperate or want to cosplay third world living I'd recommend it's avoidable. A tall man working at the hotel, overhead my complaints and spoke good English. He kindly helped me move to their hotel opposite (the Herton) - it was definetly an upgrade, slightly.

Très bon accueil, ne pas prendre une chambre côté route sinon vous passez une nuit blanche. Route très bruyante et passante bar à proximité des vas et viens toute la nuit. Avons fait appel à un taxi pour rejoindre l'aéroport, pas très aimable le petit homme.

Отличный отель за такие деньги! К сожалению, сначала разместили в очень шумной маленькой комнате практически без окна (выходящем во внутренний двор с крышей), но на следующий день заменили комнату на очень приятную, более просторную, тихую, с балконом и отличным видом. Очень приятная ресепшионистка. Отель нетрудно найти, от него близко пешком до большинства главных достопримечательностей старого города, также рядом причалы и остановки общественного транспорта, магазины и кафе, работающие допоздна. Очень рекомендую!
