Grand Naki Hotel

Felt like staying in a closet. The fundamentals of hospitality are simply mocked in this mimicry of an allegedly starred hotel: no "soundproof walls" but paper-thin walls (you can hear very distinctively the elevator, the neighbor conversations and so many doors constantly slamming). No fridge, no trash can, no bathroom carpet, really no room to circulate once you set up with two pieces of luggage even with a short mattress. Light-switch don't respond, broken lights by the bed, broken string from the blinds. The "view on the city" ended up as a view on the wall (cf. picture). In the morning, there was no water, no electricity (so no flushing and no AC, and no natural light either during our check-out). And yet, constant unsolicited upselling from the staff ("when is your flight tomorrow?", "restaurant next door offers 10% discount", "have a look at that cruise"). This was our last stop in Istanbul and probably the last one for a while: it has me convinced this is a tourist-milking place however respectful and careful you try to be and you end up more exhausted and cynical than when you arrived in the first place. I'd actually discourage people to go to Turkiye and mostly, discourage people to stay at "Grand" Naki Hotel.

Here is the room we got for 150€ per night.
I think photos are talking by themselves.
I can also talk about the stinky smell and the sticky floor, or the rain falling down the ceiling on the beds.
Just have a look at the shower head we got.

The staff is overwhelmed and the responsable just adviced us to take the room, because we couldn’t find a better place in Istanbul at this time (we did just nearby), and « you are not in Istanbul to stay at your room »

No coment, horrible stay

Rooms are very small and not clean. What booked and the room we got are completely different.
