Guest Reviews
- Olga (4/5): - Wouldn’t recommend
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Slitt, spesielt badet, ikke spesielt hyggelig betjening, veldig hard og dårlig seng, nøkkel som fungerte veldig dårlig.
- iris (10/5): - .
- Jessica (6/5): - Personal war super, versuchte alle Wünsche zu erfüllen, Putzfrau war gefühlt nie da und das Zimmer lies sehr zu wünschen übrig! Wer da auf Qualität achtet ist hier nicht richtig. Zum schlafen hat’s gereicht. Das Meer vom Zimmer aus hat es etwas gut gemacht.
Alles andere war super schön zufuß zu erreichen.
Essen shoppen sehen Meer was will man mehr.
- Barbara (6/5): - Das Hotel liegt super in der Nähe aller Tourismusattraktionen.
Die Dachterrasse bietet einen Überblick zum Meer und auf die Hagia Sofia.
Die Zimmer zum Meer sind ruhig, während man bei den Zimmer zur Straße die belebte Umgebung mitbekommt.
Die Sauberkeit im Zimmer war in Ordnung nur im Bad leider mehr als mangelhaft.
Es gab Schimmel und einen Wasserschaden bei dem es von der Decke tropft.
Die Möbel sind meines Erachtens auch alle ein Fall für den Sperrmüll.
Der Service war je nach Personal super bis ausbaufähig.
- Imen Sarah (4/5): - Be careful there is bed bugs on this hotel !
- Emirhan (10/5): - Bin sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft. Das preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist top! War schon zum 2. mal dort und habe nichts zu bemängeln.
- Billy johel (10/5): Great hotel - Great location and good stay.
- Ilaria (8/5): - Ottima posizione, personale gentile e disponibile. La qualità del massaggio discutibile.
- Cecilia (8/5): - La posizione dell’hotel è a dir poco meravigliosa. Ci sono tantissimi ristorantini e locali.
In più, tutte le attrazioni e monumenti principali (Moschea Blu, Santa Sofia, Palazzo Topkapi) sono veramente a pochissimi minuti a piedi.
Hotel pulito, stanze grandi! Tutto molto buono
- Md. (10/5): - I like the hotel. Everything is nice -
- Desiree D (2/5): - I honestly never write bad reviews, but I feel the need to warn other about this property. The first room I checked into what behind the check in desk and you could hear conversation. It also smelled of bleach so bad that my eyes were burning. They were kind enough to switch my room, and the next room was dirty. There was hair in the bed and the shower before I entered them. The towels were also very dingy. The bed was so hard the my leg went numb while sleeping and I had trouble walking to the bathroom. This was all very stressful after 24 hours of traveling, so that is why I hope to help others.
- Marco (8/5): - In pieno centro di sultanahmet ci si sposta velocemente e ci sono molti locali attorno.
- Veysel (10/5): - Außer die nicht schallgeschützten Innenwände war alles hervorragend
- Moustafa (8/5): - Die zentrale Lage viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar
- Gloriana (4/5): - Il locale di per se è “tremendo “ ma quello che è stato più seccante è che la scelta era stata fatta sulla presenza della 1’ colazione : neanche un caffè !!!! A prima mattina.l’unica cosa positiva, ma non dipende dalla struttura, è la sua vicinanza a tutta la parte culturale dì Istambul.
- V0rtex (2/5): Avoid this hotel - This was awful experience, don’t want to repeat it again.
After checking out the hotel tried to cancel my booking with the message “no show” even though we lived there and they charged the entire payment. So booking tried to charge my again for no show.
It's more like a scam so that I can't leave this review on booking platform.
The hotel is dumb, everything is full of holes - a blanket, towels, some damage on the walls, the handles of the cabinets are broken off, we took 2 rooms - everywhere is the same.
When booking, I indicated that I would be 2 adults and 2 children. As a result, upon arrival we are given a room with one bed. I had to ask for bed linen on the sofa, they brought it after 3 requests.
The walls are very thin, you can hear everything all the time.
Breakfast for 20 bucks per person - probably also taken from a 4 star hotel.
The refrigerator did not work, they repaired all 6 days of stay and did not manage to fix it.
Room cleaning - if you only ask strongly, otherwise they may not come for days.
On the recommendation of the restaurant, they were taken to a nearby eatery, with a price tag of 400 lire for an ordinary dish.
The toilet doesn't smell very good.
The impression of the city spoiled strongly.
- Verified traveler (8/5): No breakfast - There is no breakfast.No options.they noted tjat the 4 stara hotel,but its not.if you looking just for sleep and go,its a perfect hotel
- juberh2021 (2/5): Unclean! Photos are fake. - We booked this hotel on the basis of the photos which showed nice rooms. The reality was it was very dirty with a strong tobacco smell across the hotel. Housekeeping was so poor that we felt we needed to leave earlier! Avoid if possible.
- Scenic60341143358 (6/5): Pretty good on the whole - We stayed from 28th August 2022 to 2nd September. We paid about £300.
The hotel is nice. The location is perfect for Sultanahmet square. It’s a few minutes walk to all the major attractions in that part of the city, like the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cisterns.
The rooms are nicely decorated and we had a small balcony with a view of the sea. The room also has good aircon.
Our main issue was that the bed was very uncomfortable, the mattress was rock solid and lumpy (from the springs). For me this is one of the main things for a hotel to have - a comfy bed.
The other small issues were the general state of repair. The room could do with a bit of maintenance, especially in the bathroom. The grout and silicone needed cleaning and replacing in places and the toilet brush was very old and manky, such a quick and cheap fix. However the general state of toilets is Turkey was a bit of an eye opener so i think this is par for the course out there.
Overall I would recommend the hotel as the location is so good and the place is quite nice on the whole, and it was good value for money.
- PHILOMENA (8/5): - Great location friendly helpful staff
- Clarisa (10/5): - Fantastic swimming pool
- Dawar (10/5): - Very nice hotel with great service perfect for stay in Istanbul just 2 minutes walk from aya sophia
- TravelDreams (10/5): Lovely place to stay - I stayed 2 weeks and I was very happy. First of all, it is one of the very few accessible hotels in Old Town- with a ramp up to the lobby and lift to rooms. Only terrace has to be a accessed by 1 flight of stairs, and the view up there is so nice I spent many afternoons watching the Bosphorus. You can clearly see the Blue Mosque from there. I had a rear facing room which was very large, and a small balcony. It was very peaceful, only the seagulls and occasional loud dinner party from some nearby rooftop. The staff- so nice, they seemed very concerned with me. Cleaning staff, so nice and cleaned every day. Being 1-2 blocks from Sultanahmet Park was just perfect. I didn’t love the pushy restaurants on this street but then I found the cooking school restaurant 1/2 block away and it was my oasis for great food and quiet atmosphere.
- premiumguest (2/5): Rude staff, the rundom customer’s room was easily opened with no agreement - 1/5
We (two girls) have arrived at around of 4 pm with a friend of mine. The room wasn't ready. The manager easily opened for us another room, accidentally where another person was staying, opened his/her luggage in order to check if its packed or not. We were shocked. The questions are:
- So if where are inside, the manager may opened our door any time he wants?
- If we are not there, he can easily open our room and check our stuff?
So as a result we had to find another more safe hotel with friendly staff. The hotel Mevlana Bazaar was small. The rooms were small as well. But yes, the hotel has a very good photographer that takes nice pictures which don't show the reality. Also the service is very rude, especially to my friend. Don't think it is appropriate to talk to customers like that.
We wanted to pay and stay at least one night, but after our story Booking.com suggested to change the hotel, so we did. As a result, the staff of the hotel started acting rude. We were so scared.
- luciamA380QC (8/5): Perfect location for a fiat time visit - Perfect location for a first time visit in Istanbul, close to the main attractions (mosques and topkapi palace). The area is also quite safe and lively. The staff was nice and friendly, the room were adequate room. The terrace has a great view on the city.
- jze2019 (10/5): Very good stay - The hotel is very nice and the staff is very friendly. Close to everything just by walk, I recommend this place to any family or couple for a short or long stay. The roof top view is just amazing and enjoying the breakfast on it was a pleasure.
- david_vobecky (10/5): Lovely stay, excellent care ❤️ - We were looking for a hotel that is in the city centre, costs a reasonable amount of money and has a nice view. This hotel completely met our expectations. Breakfast was more than adequate, cleanliness and room amenities were perfect. But definitely the best thing was the staff here who took great care of us and came out to help us with anything.
