IQ Hotel

1- The room is completely different from what shows online, the pictures are photoshopped and nothing compared to reality 2- First room, very tiny, its either us (me & my mom) or the luggage 3- No ventilation, no windows nothing, had to change it 4- Upgraded to th suite, barely counts as a suite, 2nd day we woke up due to a broken ceiling that drips water, which left us with wet pyjamas, blankets & bed. Changed to another suite at 8am. 5-Toilet is disgustingly rusty, cold & hot water faucets are mixed (cold is hot and hot is cold) Shower head leaks water from everywhere, shower cabinets arent well locked, water rushes into the room if you decide to shower 6- No amenities( Only shower gel & soap & nasty slippers) 7- No food, no coffee, no laundry, no housekeeping, no room service 8- House keeping is "1 day yes, 1 day no" 9- AC barely working, even the staff couldn't help with it 10- The worst experience ever...Never ever ever again Not worth a penny you pay

This is a little hidden gem in the heart of Taksim and the important places like Metro, Istaklal street, restaurants, Taksim square, mosque, church, mini grocery stores, money exchange, etc. are very very close. The small is a small and cozy but vintage and basic facility without a lot of bells and whistles. However, its a great value for money. The Suite Appartment has two small balconies with a view of the landmark mosque and French consulate. The large windows make it bright. The two sofa beds (one in the bed room and one in the lounge) were good enough for our two under 13 kids. Additional pillows and sheets provided on request. Heaters are available in the bedroom and lounge. The is also a small kitchenette. The bathroom is a bit small but hot water is available. There is a police check post right next to the hotel which provided a good sense of security. The front desk supervisors Mr. Hayder and Mr. Onur are very helpful and supportive and our booking was managed perfectly. Mr. Hayder also arranged a taxi for us for airport drop on time. The cleaning lady did her job perfectly. Tesekkur ederim! We will definitely stay again! There is a nightclub very close which can be an inconvenience for some people. However, in my opinion, most of the people return to the hotel late at night so that should not be an issue. Also, the online photos of the hotel are old and need to be updated to show the view from the rooms (please feel free to upload my photos). The description should be updated to include all the positives about this hotel.
