BARBAROSSA HOTEL — Hotel in Beşiktaş

We booked the hotel at booking. com stayed 3 nights at Barbarossa Hotel ....||The Hotel seemed to be very small and thatswhy i booked a 3 bed room.||I did ask for a airport pick up and drop of and i got also this for 35 Euro each way.The communication was good and they were really helpfull.||A Day before arriving i got an Email about meeting the driver at the airport and his phone number. So i got there got out of the to the meeting point after 45 minutes the plane arrivied but no one was there. I was waiting and later i called and driver told that he was really close.After another 45 min still nobody was there i called again but no answer, so i called the hotel and i got told that there was rush hour and the driver is on his way. I said i m not going to pay the whole price for pick up and drop off with this kind of service. ||So i got pick up tje driver apologized and we git on the road and drove up to the hotel. Hedroped me there and while i was checking in i regonized that i was in another hotel. Before they told me they would give me a better room but it was in another hotel called hotel academia istanbul 20 minutes walking distance to the barbarossa hotel. Since i organized my trip knowing how to get somewhere from the barbarossa hotel i was a little confused because i got there late at night didnt know where i was and i had first to see where i was. ||The rooms were big but the bathroom really small and could habe bern more clean. The room was next to the elevator so it was alittle lought at night .sometimes the elevator didnt work and we had to walk all the way up to the fifth floor. The stairs were really dirty and nobody really took care or not sbout this. The breakfast was ok but small instant coffee tea cheese tomatos curcumber jam honey some type of salami not really a highlight . The ladys who worked there took no note and didnt really care, seemed alitte lazy. ||Well the hotel was in a good area walking distance to restaurants shops boat cruises . For a short stay in istsnbul it was ok but i would not have paid more for it. It was cheap and just ok. If you dont need a luxury hotel and you dont expect to much its ok . People are friendly trying to speak english and people are helpfull. ||Istanbul is a...

BED BUG INFESTATION!!!: Staff at desk do not speak any English at all. The bed and mattress were securely wrapped in thick plastic sheeting that is uncomfortable to sleep in, with moisture built up and noise each time you move. Woke up with multiple bedbugs crawling all over, caught two, put them in a paper bag and presented to the owner who shrugged shoulders and made gestures like spraying from a can. He also kept on smoking at desk all night and the smoke permeated through out the building and rooms yukkkk: like sleeping in a smokers lounge. Left after one night, couldn't imagine spending two more nights in this hell hole. Will write to Expedia for a refund. Please...
