4/10, Deficient

This is the worst boutique hotel I've stay at in my many trips to Istanbul. They have multiple buildings, but I was unlucky to stay in a building with a bad sewer smell. It was a huge downer. The smell is noticeable at the main entrance and in the room. Also, be careful if you arrive at night. There is a clear "Wonder Wood Hotel" logo over the door. However, the door is locked and there is no one there to open. I knocked and knocked. It was cold and rainy and late at night. I had to get louder and louder with my knocking. Finally, a guest opened the door for me. It turns out they have two buildings and this particular building only has guests in it. She kindly informed me that the reception is one building over. So, I went over there thinking I had made a mistake. However, there is NOTHING that says "Wonder Wood Hotel" on that building. In fact, it says "Oba Hotel." How was I supposed to know? Had she not opened up for me, I might still be in the street.... Also, there were some insects in my room, there were stains on the bedsheet and bedspread and i had to clean a supposedly washed coffee mug because it was visibly dirty. Finally, the bathroom is really small -- my legs were hitting up against the sink while on the toilet. Having said all of this, the staff are nice and if you stay here you will get some sleep and the room is by no means horrible. It's acceptable for the price. If you aren't going to be in the room a lot, then you might be ok. I didn't have breakfast.
