The Zanadu Istanbul Reviews

I chose this hotel because it was cheap, in a great location and we had a long stay, not planning to spend much time indoors anyway as we are active holidaymakers. The room was as seen in advertising photos, but the outside courtyard is terrible, the reception area is small and messy, nobody was there at our arrival although we mentioned it previously (our flight was late), they eventually showed up after my partner made a few phone calls. There was only one(!) towel per person provided for everything (size between face towel and bath towel), no self catering options. After a week of not seeing any housekeeping done in our room, we asked for it and they did it, but we needed to leave the key, so we presume they don't have a spare key for housekeeping team and that's why they couldn't get in and clean as we were out and about all day. There were a few power cuts during our stay, the toilet was constantly dripping so we needed to close the pipes when it was not in use. There were a few positive aspects, such as quietness due to not being located on the main road, close proximity to all our point of interest and visit, safety for walking around, shops and restaurants nearby.
