I was lied to!
I found this hotel through Skyscanner..it initially showed pictures of an amazing hotel, named Seminal Taksim Hotel. When I clicked the hotel, it took me to Hotel.com page and I booked the hotel, I paid the full amount..it didn't offer refund in case of cancelation but I was okay as the hotel seemed great. Little did I know I was most likely being scammed as the link on Hotel.com sent me to another hotel called Taksim Sem Hotel...two different types of hotels I assure you. I couldn't even contact anyone to cancel and get my money back!
The room was cramped, the fridge was directly next to my bed, it was in a very noisy and dodgy area..full of nightclubs, pubs.
Worst of all, the showers were mouldy and I refused to use it. I did tell them to change my room..the people were nice but they room they offered was worse, it was humid and it had mould all over the bedroom ceiling so I ended up staying in the room I had.
Overall, not a great place to stay..and be careful if you're booking after clicking the link on Skyscanner as it will take you to this hotel on Hotel.com
