About this place Retropera Hotel

Retropera Hotel is on Feridiye Caddesi, a short walk from Taksim Square in Beyoğlu. With an average rating of 3.9 from around 270 reviews, you know what to expect: a basic, city-centre hotel, not some upscale retreat. You're close to İstiklal Avenue and the bars of Beyoğlu, which is a plus. But be aware that Turkey's banned Istanbul Pride marches since 2015, and police presence can be intense, especially around Taksim. Keep a low profile in public, just to be safe. The hotel's location is its strongest selling point, and it's a good option if you want to be in the thick of things without breaking the bank. Don't expect much in the way of luxury, but it's a decent choice for a city-centre stay.

The room and bathroom were clean, nice for a short stay, but you need to lock the door, otherwise someone could just walk in. We locked the door first and then inserted the card for electricity.

I don't recommend this hotel. All the rooms are, to put it mildly, "dilapidated." It looks like the hotel hasn't had any renovations since it was built. The hotel itself is completely devoid of anything, including drinking water, a microwave, and a stove. The shops outside the hotel are overpriced three to five times. We visited the Shock store behind the mosque. The area around the hotel is extremely dirty. The photos on Yandex don't reflect reality, and we were fooled by them, too.
