We were three guests who booked two rooms. We reached the hotel with difficulty as nobody in the area recognized it.We where shocked to discover that the hotel in reality does not look like the photos advertised on Expedia.The rooms are smaller than advertised, they lack the basic amenities. No closet for clothes. We selected this "18th century newly renovated mansion" based on two excellent reviews to feel the history, however a third terrible review was posted after booking, by that time we could not cancel our booking because it was non refundable. We complained about the lack of towels and the terrible smell in the upper room which has no AC (The other room did not have the smell), but the CEO did not accept the complains, he seemed to be very sensitive to any criticism or complains. We spent the night smelling the strong sewer smell and looking for a new hotel to move. We succeeded to book two rooms. In the morning we went for breakfast, which was well bellow average (cheese, olives, tomatoes) and paid for the omelet we ate. The hotel has only one lady for cleaning and preparing breakfast, in addition to the CEO the owner.
So we payed for the hotels twice but were happy to leave the mansion by cheers. We believe that this hotel is highly priced compared to the value the customer gets and we wonder how Expedia assesses the hotels listed with them.
After leaving the hotel, we started to enjoy the beauty of Istanbul.
Finally we do not recommend this place for anyone.
