Housekeeping clean the rooms well when you specify form cleaning. Breakfast is average, often runs out of items mid service but some items do get replenished. Some of the utilities could do with replacing due to age and wear such as coffee machine. Staff generally ok and willing to help if approached. Would stay again if needing a budget hotel. Room was quite spacious for a family roommof 4

Never been to Istanbul before but wanted around this area as a base. Room was very good, no complaints with the staff either, they were very helpful in suggestions of places to see and how to get there. Breakfast, not the standard continental breakfast I’d have but it was sufficient enough to set you up for the day. I’d definitely book here again if I went back to Istanbul.

Disappointing.

Watch out: unlike most hotels and despite what they let you understand on their website, pool access is not included in the room booking. Bedroom is big and confortable. Breakfast just average. Wifi is patchy. Overall, would not stay again.

Terrible front desk staff. Sone doesn’t even care when we are checking out. They are too much interested in mobile than in their customer. Owner is really good though.

Very very unhappy

Hi I am very unhappy about my stay as the first thing is we didn’t get what we booked.my wife’s wedding ring has been stolen from the room. We were not allowed to use the swimming pool as if we did we had to pay $18 each time we use it and per person. The AC , safe box, the lights nothing was working.We asked them for a refund and we were refused one.all in all we are very disappointed.

Personeller güler yüzlü ve çok netlerdi. Basit ve uçuz kahvaltı ürünleri. Örnek başka otellerde havuz, hamam ve sauna ücretsizdir sadece masaj ve keseye ek ücret talebinde bulunurlar, yazık ki Valens Otelinde sözde paket uygulamasıla Havuz, Hamam, masaj, kese vs vs vs ücret talep ediyorlar. Bu kadar da aç gözlü olunmaz ki..

Arrived purely to discover city - the first reception staff was very unhelpful. Facility were poor, breakfast awful. Everything else was chargeable from using the safe to the sweating gym and dirty pool. Surrounding area far from Istanbul centre and the sites (although close to tram stop). However, you would feel safe here overall.
