Van, Turkey, July 2

Aslan Hotel, room 305
Here the manager speaks good English, and offers all kinds of services, including help with booking tickets for the train to Iran. However, rooms are in dire need of a freshen up, with peeling paint and rickety-looking power points that make you think twice about plugging anything in. Pillows are like big rocks and our bathroom was pongy, as were the shared ones in the hall. The shower is completely hand-held with no possibility to stand under it.
Bathroom: private
View: Street and local music hall (noisy until midnight)
Cost: 25 YTL (ok, why whinge, really, at this price)
Recommended? Yes, if budget means more than comfort
