Zelya Flats

Internet was fine. Location was sketchy but should have checked it out before. Still i felt safe walking at night. Tons of kids and lots of noise until 1am. The room was dingy but after seeing location was expected. But the worst is that it smelled of urine strongly. Like an alley. There are cats everywhere but i work with animals and it wasnt cat urine. Thats more ammonia like. I had to use Peppermint oil and still was horrible. I didnt shower as rhe bathroom looked like the walls by toilet had spots all over wall. Been to many not so great hostels and they wete better than this. A lot of istanbul stays are very deceiving even hotels. Map the location first to see the place youre staying at.

EVERYTHING ABOUT ACCOMMODATION IS PERFECT

We really enjoyed our stay and felt like locals, as the property is located in a small village. There are plenty of local restaurants nearby, and the main square is just a 15–20 minute walk away. Having a washing machine in the room was a nice touch. Firuze, who manages the property, was amazing.

Öncelikle Zeliha hanıma güler yüzlü misafirperverliği için teşekkür ederim. Odamız temiz ve düzenliydi. Çok memnun kaldık. Bir daha ziyaret edebileceğim yerler arasına Zelya Flats da ekledim.

Pretty nice place

I booked room with 2 Queen beds, when I arrived found out there was 1 double bed in there. Messaged lady owner, she replied that it was only for 2 adults, when I replied I booked 2 Queen beds, because I have 12 year old boy too with me, lady said that there is a mattress in the passage I can use. It was late in the night , she said she will sort it out in the morning. We spent the night with myself on the mattress on the floor. In the morning she offered another room with sofa bed, which again was not convenient for me, even that for 3rd night which meant i had to spend another night on floor mattress. I asked her to refund me remaining 5 night as I can not live here with my family, as I'm not getting what I paid for, she initially agreed to refund me 4 night even though I paid for 6 nights , and only used 1 night ( even that with me on the floor) I still agreed however, when she consulted someone (apparently her partner) she refused to pay. I left on 2nd July, my booking was till 6th July, I left the property, booked another hotel, and going to sort this out with Expedia however, I wanted to leave this review, please be careful when you book, pictures of rooms are deceiving too, I am not sure how this property got 4 out 5, it is on the hill , forget coming with baby or elderly, condition of property is bad (minimum to say), Mould in the bathroom, and bad air-conditioning. Lady always replies to reviews and find excuses, be very careful if you book this property.

My friend and I loved staying at Zelya’s flat! It was really easy to communicate with her via whats app. Also, the room was really cosy and clean

A bit away from the main traffic area in a very residential area Lots of decent places to eat a markers to shop in The room was large, bed comfortable and heating system wonderfully efficient The room I had could have used blackout curtains but no other major complaints

Super friendly service. Nice and clean apartment

The property was very well situated only 10 minutes walk to Taksim square. The property was clean and very comfortable bed
