Absolutely Horrible – Stay Away from The Loft Istanbul!
I rarely write reviews, but this place was so bad I feel obligated to warn others. We booked The Loft Istanbul for 4 nights, but the moment we arrived, we realized we made a huge mistake. We couldn’t even stay for a few hours – that’s how awful it was.
The hotel is NOTHING like the pictures. It felt unsafe and run-down, like a forgotten basement hostel pretending to be a boutique hotel. The rooms were dirty, the air was musty, and everything just screamed neglect. It was genuinely scary. Not even exaggerating – the atmosphere felt eerie and uncomfortable, and we didn’t feel safe leaving our belongings there, let alone sleeping there.
We decided to leave immediately and politely requested a refund, explaining how unacceptable the conditions were. But no – they flat out refused. No refund, no accountability, no apologies. It was a complete scam.
Avoid at all costs. Don’t ruin your trip like we did. There are SO many better places to stay in Istanbul. This is not one of them.
