Liked: Cleanliness
This is a great budget hotel overall. I spent 5 nights there at under $390. The neighborhood is safe with lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance. My room with panoramic view was tiny. The bed was literally a foot away from the door. There wasn't much space for luggages so everything had to go on that small desk or ledge under the TV. The queen size bed fits the whole room from the balcony to the bathroom. The room was well cleaned when I arrived, but no daily housekeeping. On my third day I had to request it, and that was the only time it was done. They made the bed but did not change the sheets. Breakfast was more like afternoon snacks consisting of tomatoes, cucumbers, cheeses, sliced ham or bologna, pita, break rolls cut in halves, boiled eggs, and bunch of condiments. They also had coffee, tea, and 1 type of juice. The food was a pass for me, plus they never started on time. Front desk personnel, were helpful and courteous. Good choice for solo travelers or anyone on a budget.

I couldn’t recommend the property for the reasons I checked off as noisy no air-conditioning and limited offerings in the breakfast area as well as tiny tiny rooms. The staff was friendly enough and helpful and it was clean.

stayed there for one week, and during that time they never cleaned my room, even though I asked them several times. They also ruined my linen jumpsuit when they washed it. I even paid for the service and explained to them how to properly wash linen since it’s expensive, but when I got my clothes back, they were completely destroyed. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wear them again. I went to the reception to explain what happened, but they only said “sorry to hear that” and took no further action.

Excellent experience!

Orhan and Ali run a clean and honest hotel. My experience at the Lenus was excellent in every respect. They were available and willing to help me in all things, from getting cash to navigating the city, day or night. Next time I come to Istanbul, I’m staying here.
