✓AVOID AT ALL COSTS Our group of five male adults booked two rooms at Miss Istanbul Hotel, and unfortunately, this was one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve ever had — anywhere in the world. Before arrival, we made clear requests: • Two interconnected rooms • All single beds (as we are all adults) • Smoking rooms • A small birthday acknowledgment for one of our friends turning 39 Shockingly, none of these requests were met. Upon check-in, we discovered one room had a double bed and a single bed, not all singles. When we politely asked the manager, Mr. Sinan, if the rooms could be adjusted, his behaviour was completely unacceptable. He shouted at us in the lobby, saying we’d have to pay €30 extra per night just to have separate beds. I have travelled to many destinations worldwide, and I have never encountered a manager so rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. His body language was aggressive, his tone was condescending, and he had no intention of helping or resolving the issue. It felt as though we were being treated as a nuisance rather than paying guests. To make things worse, his English communication was extremely poor, making it impossible to discuss our concerns properly. Even when we asked for something as simple as extra duvets, we were told, “housekeeping is closed.” This is not the level of service you’d expect from a hotel rated over 9/10. There was no effort from the staff to make our stay comfortable — no follow-up, no assistance, and no gesture for the birthday we had mentioned in advance. The customer service was zero. The rooms themselves were small, cramped, and poorly maintained. The bathroom was dirty, and there was hardly any space for luggage or clothing. We were given only two towels for three adults, and when we asked for another, the request was ignored. As for the breakfast, it was simply terrible — far below even basic standards. The quality and variety were extremely poor. I would rate it 0/10. We ended up eating breakfast elsewhere. Throughout our stay, no one checked on us, and the noise levels were high both inside and outside the hotel. It genuinely felt like the staff and management did not care at all about guest satisfaction. I’ve visited Istanbul more than five times, and I can confidently say that this hotel is one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in. I have family members who stayed here previously and had similar bad experiences, so clearly nothing has improved. In summary: • Unhelpful and rude management (Mr. Sinan) • Zero customer service • False advertising regarding room requests • Poor hygiene and maintenance • Awful breakfast • No professionalism whatsoever This hotel does not deserve its 9+ rating — in reality, it should be a 3 or 4 at best. There are many other hotels in Istanbul with kind staff, clean rooms, and genuine hospitality. I would strongly advise against booking Miss Istanbul Hotel. Save your time, money, and peace of mind — look elsewhere.

✓Miss Istanbul Hotel Sirkeci: A Disappointing Stay Defined by Aggressive Management Overall Rating: 1/5 (Terrible) My recent stay at the Miss Istanbul Hotel in the Sirkeci area was profoundly disappointing and unacceptable. While one hopes for professionalism and hospitality, our experience was defined by extremely poor customer service and numerous issues with room quality. The most egregious issue was the conduct of the management, specifically an individual named Sinnan. We politely requested to change our room due to the unsuitable size (a request we made knowing previous family members had faced similar issues here). The manager was immediately abrupt, aggressive, and rude, showing zero willingness to listen or help. He was not prepared to listen to our concerns, ultimately shouting in the lobby so that the entire area could hear the confrontation. This kind of confrontational and aggressive behavior from hotel management is utterly inexcusable. Furthermore, there was a significant language barrier as personnel seemed to speak hardly a word of English, making basic support or assistance impossible. We felt completely abandoned, with no one checking up on us or offering any kind of help. The room quality itself was substandard. The bathroom was dirty upon arrival, which is a major hygiene failure. The rooms are far too small; they are not appropriate for two people, let alone three, leaving us severely limited with space for both luggage and basic cupboard storage. Compounding the physical discomfort, the noise level was excessive. Finally, the breakfast was a major letdown, scoring a definitive 0 out of 10. We are extremely disappointed with our entire experience. This hotel is not recommended until a complete overhaul of customer service, management training, and room maintenance is implemented. Fellow travelers should be aware of the aggressive attitude and lack of support from the staff before booking here.

✓The room was clean, comfortable & affordable while most staff members friendly & helpful. Good location for entertainment & the breakfast was reasonably good.
