랄렐리 블루 마르마라이 호텔

The most disgusting hotel! We travelled by agency so we don’t know how much it costs, but the conditions there are awful. We arrived early in the morning and started to check in. First we were given a room withOUT windows that smells a lot as cigarettes. We asked for another room with window and had to wait 5 hours at the cold reception for available room. At noon we asked if some room has been cleaned and finally checked in. The room smelled awful, the sheets and towels were disgusting, the bathroom and the water smelled awful too. The staff is rude and unwelcoming. After seeing the room we didn’t even think about having a breakfast there we just looked at it and it was disappointing. The bathroom was leaking to the room, because it wasn’t actually separate room, but just two glass pieces in the bedroom making some kind of bathroom. It is also very noisy like the window was opened but it wasn’t. The worst experience ever! Unfortunately hated Istanbul because of this hotel!

Before sharing anything with my fellows of the travelling club I had to make it clear that if you need more recent reviews about Laleli Blue Marmaray Hotel you should also check the reviews under Marmaray Hotel (without Laleli Blue) because there is where I found my review wrote at the end of November 2022, which I reproduce as follows: I am actually writing from the reception lobby because I refused to be checked in. The room I was supposed to spend my night hasn't got a window, which, I believe, is against any safety regulations. More than that, when I visited my sons' room I was in a total awe of the fact that the fire sprinkler is above the TV set. I let you draw the conclusions. And for the sake of political correctness I have to mention that the rooms I am talking about are 3010 and 3001. During my stylistic striving my cousin has got a nature' s call just to find out that there aren't any toilets anywhere near the reception lobby. She has been sent to - 2, but the toilet is nowhere to be find. I have repeated the operation seek and do whatever you need to do and EVRIKA!!! I find it in a store room. Thanks be to God and to the moving sensors (and the fact I happen to be more adventurous in obscure places) or else I would have missed it too. I believe I am entitle to say that one star is quite generous. What I am sure of is I definitely won't forget this experience for the rest of my days. To end it in a better tone I must add that the next day we were given an acceptable room (with a window of course). I can vouch for at least some of the bad reviews I read on the section Marmaray Hotel (which is the other name for Laleli Blue Marmaray). If you are not picky LALELI BLUE MARMARAY HOTEL may be an option after considering all the given details.
