A co-traveler and I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at the Askin Hotel in Istanbul.

This is the most unpleasent hotel in the world. On arrival we we placed in a twin room (despite requesting a double). The walls were stained, there was used soap in the sink, wires hanging out of the shower, used glasses of water on the side and an uncleaned toilet! On complaining we were placed in another room which was... More
