TL;DR
Traveler reports suggest that older budget hotels in Turkey can have restaurant queues at peak times and cats around the property, sometimes even inside dining areas or the lobby. The most common complaints are waiting up to 15 minutes for a table and lines for popular dishes like fish.
One recent review of an older budget hotel says restaurant lines build up at peak hours, and finding a free table can take around 15 minutes. Cats in the lobby were also mentioned as a downside.
Another traveler noted that the hotel is busy, so there can be a line specifically for fish. Cats are present on the hotel grounds, though some guests are fine with that.
A separate report confirms that in a very budget, older hotel, cats may be inside the restaurant dining hall itself. For travelers who care about dining-room hygiene, this can be a major drawback.
