Hotel Yigitalp Istanbul

I stayed here as part of a tour, and based on my experience at this hotel, I'd advise others to stay elsewhere.

First, the staff is extremely rude. When the phone in the corridor kept ringing every ten minutes, I called the front desk twice, and the second time, the man at reception basically called me a liar. I literally had to take my phone down the hall with me and record the phone ringing, take it down to reception before he'd move me to a different floor.

When I went to dinner, the man running the restaurant asked me if I had dinner included with my reservation, to which I replied "yes". Upon me saying this, he called down to reception to verify that I had it on my reservation. Why ask me, if you're just going to call down to reception?

The WiFi on my floor didn't work, so I had to use cellular data for the duration of my stay.

Also, don't use the hotel's laundry services here. They completely destroyed some white clothing of a fellow guest on my tour by washing them with colored clothing. They didn't offer to compensate her, or even apologize.

The rooms are small and dated, but clean.

The only redeemable quality of this hotel is its location, which is close to a lot of things, but for the price and rude service, I'd take my business elsewhere.
