TL;DR
Many Turkish hotels have dated interiors that are functional but not modern. When booking, it's worth checking if renovated room categories exist — some hotels claim renovation but only partially updated their rooms.
Some hotels market themselves as new or recently reconstructed, but in practice this often means only partial renovation rather than a fully new build. Worth clarifying before booking.
Booking platforms may suggest that fresher room options exist within the same hotel, but this isn't always the case. It's best to contact the hotel directly or look for recent photos of the specific room category.
Rooms in many Turkish hotels look dated even in official photos — the decor is old-fashioned but everything works fine. If you're used to modern interiors, the difference will be noticeable.
