  WORST PLACE TO STAY NOT HOTEL, ITS A DUMP

  17 Jul 2024

  descriptions of OTTOPERA hotel on bookingdotcom IS NOT accurate, was plain deceit.Important things:Smoking by staff right at entrance door all Day and night non stop and smoke goes all over reception and up to second floor rooms where I was.I could not open windows above entrance all week because reception guy was there smoking non stop, what we call in America: “a chain smoker walking ashtray”.Cleanliness was lacking, it was horribly filthy in fact.my suite was not clean, bed was not made they just left a folded blanket (allegedly clean) and a pillow on the bed.The floors were filthy, the bathroom was also not clean. Booking said free toiletries, there was non only a tiny packaged round soap.Also said suite has air conditioning - this is preset to run for 5 minutes and it auto shuts. So the heat will wake you up every hour in the night due to heat in room, sweating and overheated from hot summer Istanbul nights.The Tiny single packages of coffee and tea left on a top bulky for room size dresser are only complimentary for the first night. They don’t even offer them after that, I bought them at the corner grocery store.No guests or visitors allowed but what bothered me is you are told via message after you have already booked, it should be disclosed prior to booking non refundable rooms.Reception guy and other staff in the hotel smoke at entrance and in reception area, night reception guy confronted me and was very rude and upset because I placed my complaints of his smoking below me and smoke rises up straight in my room, so he would smoke even MORE in retaliation and hotel owners don’t care because you have already paid in advance.Also all these rules should be specified in advance on bookingdotcomI recommend that you do not make your reservations on bookingdotcom or this hotel if you want a smoke free room & environment.and if you must do only refundable bookings. I would have canceled after my first night.You do need a smoke free space after a day of exploring Istanbul as 90% of people smoke everywhere.

  Very nice place

  11 Jul 2024

  Ottopera is my favorite hotel in Istanbul. Its warm welcome, its central location close to the metro and airport buses and its beautiful rooms, make this a stay to always remember. So much so that I have already included it in my plans for next year.My special thanks to Mr. Emre and his team

  Will not use bookingdotcom again- the descriptions of OTTOPERA hotelon bookingdotcom IS NOT accurate, plain deceit.Important things like:Smoking by staff right at entrance door all. Day non stop and smoke goes all over reception and goes up to second floor suites.I could not open windows all week.Cleanliness was lacking, it was horribly filthy.my suite was not clean, bed was not made they just left a folded blanket (allegedly clean) and a pillow on the bed.The floors were filthy, the bathroom was also not clean.

I would have canceled after my first night.

  So much more than a place to lay your head

  27 Jun 2024

  You can always tell when owners and staff love their hotel and the Ottopera us clearly loved.We were lucky and appreciative to be upgraded by a friendly male receptionist/ concierge who offered to help with our luggage. The room was spacious, well appointed, with lots of finishing touches, including slippers and a mini fridge and safe.Will certainly ly recommend to anyone visiting Isranbul. So central. A stones throw from Taksim Square and excellent value.Thanks so much xx
