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.

Great hotel! Felt like new with the updated rooms and bathrooms - very clean. Breakfast was good, they even made me an iced latte on my way out every morning. The rooms are on the small side, but the cleanliness makes up for it. Lots of restaurants in the area and close to the train to get around easily.

I reserved a room with double beds. It was clean but much smaller than expected. Beds do not have regular blankets, but something like waffle oversize towels.Two people can barely move around there without bumping to each other. Luckily it was just for one night. Area around it is not the best, lots of noisy merchants and garbage on the street.
