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
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.
The rooms were clean and very comfortable, and the staff was amazing, especially Murat.
They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting.
The hotel in a good location. Breakfast is not for a four star its basic. Receiption not very clean needs updating. Staff were friendly and the rooms were clean
The rooms were dusty and dirty. Full of insects and our property would be fiddled with when we would not be in our room. We would not recommend not even 1 star I don’t know how this was give 4 stars. Pool was not allowed to be used
The air conditioning control was very bad, as the air conditioning system was working as a fan without cooling, and sometimes it was completely turned off.
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..
Très très bon accueil de la part des réceptionnistes! Disponibles et à l’écoute, ils on su répondre à mes questions, nous mettre à l’aise et nous conseiller.

Bon hotel à proximité de commerces ouvert 24h /24h
Bien accueilli a la réception par murat accueillants, serviable, sourient, très sympathique et arrangeant qui ma attribué une confortable chambre, l'hotel dans l'ensemble est bien a proximité de tout commerces 24h/24h et transports communs tram, métro, bus a 2mn de marche l'hotel est très bien situé en plein quartier populaire de aksaray très animé
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.
