The Lola Hotel Reviews

Big concerns! We have never stayed in a hotel where there is such little effort on upkeep and cleaning. Photos included. 1) Upon arrival, discovered that although the hotel has an elevator stated online, we were put in a different building without an elevator. When I pointed this out, the manager got aggressive. 2) Discovered the shower bracket was broken with the lower piece missing and the shower head was lying on the floor. We asked for repair but it took them 2 days. When we reminded them to repair on the 2nd day, the manager, without checking, assured us it was fixed, but it wasn't. We got upset and then he said we are welcome to move out and no refund will be given. Very unprofessional behaviour. 3) There is mould all over the shower cubicle. The old and mouldy silicon bits still stuck to the wall from the missing shower shelf proves that the mould had been given time to grow uncleaned. 4) The water pipe behind the sink leaked constantly such that the bathroom floor was always wet. 5) Was this a smoking room? We discovered the smoke detector was covered with duct tape (against fire code?). The bathroom window vent and door sill were also taped over to prevent airflow. 6) Large pieces of wallpaper were ripped and hanging off the wall. 7)The cleaning lady came in to sweep the floor briefly but didn't bother to clean the bathroom. 8)They used bedsheets that, besides being stained, were too small for the mattress and they slipped all over. 9) Towels were in different conditions, from yellowed to tattered. Location-wise, although near to the Sultanahmet Square, the hotel is at the bottom of a steep climb to get there.

Good hotel very clean very friendly nice accommodation near by everything you might need

Very good hotel in cheap prices

Excellent

nice everythig

The accommodation is quite old. Some parts are being renovated and repaired. It's not completely finished. The accommodation is not very clean.

Nice hotel, all the amenities were there, close to the center, the reception was friendly

Everything is fine, but in three nights you won’t get much done. Wifi is weak. Center of Istanbul. a bit expensive There is a lot to see. The streets are narrow and vehicles have difficulty moving. There are many Russian-speaking tourists. The employees understand Russian.

The rooms are very satisfying, nice, clean and the price is very suitable for backpackers, the hotel staff are also very friendly

The location can be confusing. The location of the accommodation shown on Google is different from where the hotel desk is. If you go up the alley to the left of the address on Google Maps, you will see the hotel desk. The lady next door to the hotel taught us. The air conditioning is weak, which is typical of Europe, but it was inconvenient that there were no blankets or water. The shower was a hose, so it was convenient to wash. But the owner was kind, and he kept my luggage after I checked out. The location of the accommodation was good, so I walked to Topkapi Palace, Gülhane Park, and Galata Bridge. It was also good to take the T1 tram to Aksaray and take the airport bus. The alley above the accommodation here is really pretty.

The hotel corresponds to the price 👍🏼 the only reception is located in the next building and is not easy to find 🤪

The room was spacious and very nice, but the air conditioning didn't work very well and it was hot. The location is perfect as you can walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia!!

Small, good hotel in the center of Istanbul. 5 minutes from the Sultanahmet Mosque. Clean rooms, good for a couple of days. Friendly staff!

Everything's OK! The location is within walking distance from Saltanahmet Square, next to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. For an additional 350 liras, paid on the spot, we were given a room on the 2nd floor, not in the basement. The room is clean and comfortable, good bed with a comfortable mattress, towels and shower amenities, everything is up to standard. Pleasant and helpful staff, speaking Russian.
