Sadly our stay at the Deris Bosphorus Lodge was rather disappointing.
Pros: great location and generally clean. I can imagine the rooms on higher floors will have fantastic views - although this was something we didn't get to see. They also let us check out at 2pm, which was really helpful.
Cons:
1) Terrible and annoying noise coming from ?central heating ?water pipes all day all night. This woke us up at 3am and we couldn't go back to sleep, ruining our schedule the next day entirely. We mentioned this to the reception but the problem remained throughout our stay.
2) Sewage smell in the bathroom was really disgusting. We had to leave the bathroom window open 24/7 otherwise the bathroom will get filled with this awful smell.
3) No control over room's temperature. The central heating was on, keeping the rooms warm, but it was really hot and dry at times. We wanted to switch the central heating off (also to see if we can control the horrific noise as mentioned above) but couldn't.
4) It does say somewhere on the booking page 'rooms may be different to the photographs' and in our opinion, yes, it was indeed different. The room is modern and well-furnished but our kitchen was tiny with no dining table (like in the photos).
All in all, not sure if i will return. I am sure there are better bargains out there for cheaper money.
