The rooms are very cold and full of insects
The room was very cold and when I protested, they said that they would turn it on from December and room 206 was full of mosquitoes, so I changed my room. I recommend that if someone chooses this hotel, bring a heater and insecticide.

El staff es lo mejor que tiene el hotel, son super amables y colaboradores y lo segundo es la distancia caminando a Taksim son al menos 10 min, no es un hotel de lujo pero la relacion calidad-precio es correcta, se siente un olor a cigarro, pero creo que eso es en general en toda la ciudad, tambien no hacen desayuno… recomiendo el hotel mi estadia fue muy buena.

My Observation
Very small hotel with only a few rooms. In the Old Section of Istanbul close to eating. No TV Very Small Bathroom & shower is built for small people. Reception Desk guys always there and helpful. Owner there everyday and super nice. If your the Venturous type and like great price and don’t mind low end comforts it’s for you.

It’s a moderate place to stay especially for the price and this time of the year, fairly good and comfortable but don’t expect a more than average accommodation. In general it’s clean for its price as well. It was a pleasant stay.

Excellent Stay
I'd definitely recommend Retropera Hotel. I really enjoyed my stay there. My room had everything one would need - kettle, hair dryer, tea/coffee, etc. The bathroom had complimentary shampoo and soap, which was also a very nice touch. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is less than a 5 minute walk to Taksim Square. I will stay here again when I visit İstanbul in the future.

Liked:
- my own room with enough space.
- cozy bed.
- Very convenient for transportation, very close to airport shuttle and taksim sqaure
Disliked:
- Very dirty room specially the shower. Black mold. They don't clean every day (which is ok) but if you do cleaning once do it properly.
- TV was not working. I asked staff and he said: "if you have a tablet, you can use it". TV should work in a hotel
- The area is a bit unsafe at night.
