Lavin Hotel & Suites

Previous reviews are accurate to the T Good ventilation and lighting throughout Affordable option for a budget trip Clean but shower blocks within 20 seconds of running Aksaray metro round the corner Budget food options opposite and supermarket Walking distance to yusufpaşa tram station All communication is via WhatsApp. I’m grateful they kept my luggage at reception on my last day -Teşekkürler Only book if you’re a heavy sleeper.

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I was forced to leave earlier than planned due to the extremely inappropriate and unprofessional behavior of the hotel owner himself. To make things worse, only sleeping essentials for two people were provided, although we were six and asked several times for the rest. I strongly advise anyone who expects respectful treatment and basic comfort to avoid this place.

Absolutely a scam! Room stinking like 10 ashtrays, garbage in the room, dirty beddings, windows defect so constant 'fresh air' & noise from street, bed only available from 1 side due to size of room, not possible to get, pots & pans but no plates/cutlery/glasses/cups. Not possible to get in contact with responsible unless you speak turkish. Would not complain if the price was 10EUR ... but it wasn't. No refund possible as owner think it is ok. Booked though booking.com that would neither take any responsibility in sorting things out.
