Hotel scam in Istanbul - Sailing A B Sea (Ep.070)

In this episode of Sailing A B Sea a spur of the moment trip gets us involved in a hotel scam in Istanbul and we realise that in a city of 15 million people there are going to be very long queues for the popular attractions.

We should've read the reviews before we booked the hotel, a number of people had left scathing reviews mentioning the hotel scam and even the fake story line that was used on us when we arrived to check in. As hotel scams go it's fairly simple and we wonder how many unsuspecting people have had their holiday ruined by this.
