Guest Reviews
- Ayaz (2/5): - Если не хотите портить впечатление от Стамбула ,лучше не заселяться в этот отель .Один и единственный большой плюс местоположение .По остальным параметрам провал .
- Verified traveler (4/5): - kahvaltı yetersiz, ilgisiz personel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff was really good and ghe location is perfect. Thanks a lot for the service.
- Stefan (10/5): Extended stop over in old city. - I extended a stop over by 3 days to see the city of Istanbul. I took a taxi from the airport to the hotel for 50 Lira. Going back I used the tram and train system at a cost of less that 8 Lira. Food was half the cost on Uskadur side of Istanbul and the ferry ride there was worth the effort alone. Do not be afraid to explore the area and try new things. The hotel is well managed and staff is very friendly. the location is great for sightseeing and streets are safe at night in that area.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Boa localização e excelente atendimento - O atendimento é excelente e os funcionários são muito atenciosos. Localização perfeita, muito perto dos principais pontos turísticos de Istambul. Quem chega de avião pelo aeroporto Ataturk, pode pegar o trem e depois o tram (e descer na estação Sultanahmet) gastando cerca 8 liras (10 reais ou 3 euros); do aeroporto Sabina (que é bem mais longe) há vans que cobram 10 euros por pessoa. Ficamos em um quarto bem pequeno e modesto nos primeiros dias; o problema é que não tinha aquecimento no banheiro e como fazia muito frio em Istambul (abaixo de zero) era sofrível usar o banheiro. Na última noite fomos para um quarto bem melhor, maior e aconchegante, com bule elétrico, frigobar... O café da manhã é servido no terraço, com uma bela vista para o bósforo; é gostosinho, faltam apenas algumas frutas.
- gary (8/5): Great location and good place to say - Superb location for the sights of Sultanahmet. If you want a good value small family hotel this is a great place. All the sights, restaurant's and feel of this area of Istanbul, fabulous view from the breakfast room.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 입지 좋은 가격만큼의 호스텔 - 호텔방이 아닌 도미토리는 반지하에 위치해 있어 솔직히 습함은 느껴집니다. 하지만, 입지가 너무 좋으며(구도심 주 관광지에 걸어서 5분거리) 가격이 저렴하여 2박정도의 짧게 머무르는 일정에는 괜찮다고 봅니다. 두꺼운 이불은 주지만, 이불시트는 주지 않아 약간 찝찝함이 있었습니다. 바닥시트와 베게시트는 사람이 바뀔때 마다 기본적으로 갈아줍니다. 아침은 훌륭한 편입니다. 그리고 맨 꼭데기층에 식당이 있는데 뷰가 정말 죽입니다. 바닷가기보이는 햇빛이 쏟아지는 따뜻함과 아름다움은 아직도 잊지 못합니다. 리셉션 분들도 친절합니다. 약간 가족적인 분위기까지 느껴지는 곳입니다. 필요한 우산도 구비해 놓으시고 빌려주며, 여러가지 요청에도 친절하게 알려줍니다. 관광을 위해 이스탄불 술탄아흐메트에 2박정도 머무르실거라면 배낭여행객들에게 나쁘지 않은 곳.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great view on the rooftop /Nice staff /Perfect breakfast
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location, Friendly staff, - The location is great, friendly staff and good breakfast. The special thing is everything worth visiting in Sultan Ahmet area is very close. Rooms are well maintained
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good staff! - Good location nice staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good service and good price. - They could accept erarly check in at 9:00 am!! Staff was very friendly and I could feel hospitality service. The place was closed to bule mosce. It was very continence to go out to eat and sightseeing. But the shower room was a little bit stuffy. But everyday they tidy up there. When I asked to print out my bordingpass,they did! They are very kind.
- Ata und Jenni (4/5): Tolle Gegend aber ein enttäuschendes Hotel - Die Gegend in Sultan Ahmet ist sehr schön, allerdings fand ich das Cem Sultan Hotel sehr enttäuschend. Die Sauberkeit war mangelhaft, unser Zimmer hat gestunken und es hate keinen Fenster um zu lüften. Man muss aber sagen, das dass Personal sehr freundlich war. Was uns aber sehr enttäuscht hat, war das bei Expedia eine relativ gute Bewertung war. Ich glaube nicht das ich das nächste mal über Expedia buchen werde und werde es auch nicht an Freunde oder Bekanten weiterempfehlen.
- YU WEI (6/5): 近景點的小品旅館 - 位置適中，距離景點非常近，住宿宿社空間不是很大，臨床的位置有點吵
- angie (10/5): 테라스 경치 좋고 깔끔 친절 - 진짜 아침 밥 먹으며 보는 풍경 좋음 친절 ㅇㅇ 조식 개맛있음..글고 깔쌈하고 역이랑 가까워서 좋음
- Verified traveler (10/5): とても満足 - イスタンブールの一番の観光地に位置している。 とても良い立地で、値段が安い。 朝ごはんも満足が行くものだった。
- Verified traveler (8/5): 安さ、立地良し - 鉄道駅から近くてわかりやすくて良い。 メディナまでもタクシーで早く、安く行ける。 安さ相応のホテル。
- OLIVIA (6/5): Muy bien ubicado - La ubicación es excelente!!! A doscientos metros de Mezquita Azul. El edificio es muy lindo. Tiene desayuno en la terraza con una vista espectacular al mar. El desayuno es completo y mejor que en otros hoteles que estuve. Estuve en una habitación compartida y realmente el baño estaba muy sucio. La ducha mojaba todo el baño y generaba mucha suciedad. Esto es lo que desmerece el hotel. Todo lo demás fue perfecto.
- Sinziana (10/5): Nice hotel with great location. - Our stay at Cem Sultan hotel was very pleasant. It is located right behind Blue Mosque. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Lage gut, WC/Dusche nicht - Sehr gute Lage, Dorm war dunkel, aber OK, WC und Dusche nicht zu empfehlen
- Verified traveler (4/5): En saanut, mitä luvattiin - Hotellihuoneen varustelu ei ollut sellainen, mitä minulle varatessani luvattiin. Huoneessani piti olla tallelokero ja minibaari, mutta niitä ei ollutkaan. Ilmoitin asiasta respaan ja he lopulta suostuivat antamaan toisen huoneen, mutta tallelokeroa ei ollut sielläkään. Asiaa oli vaikeaa selvittää, koska varausvahvistukseni, jossa luki hotellihuoneeni varustelu, oli suomen kielinen. Huoneen vessan hana vuoti koko ajan ja minibaarin kylmenemisessä kesti kauan! Palvelu oli melko ystävällistä, mutta hotelli ei ollut kovinkaan tasokas.
- Celina (4/5): Si te apañas con poco, bien. No pidas más. - Pasé cinco noches en el dormitorio mixto con literas que se encuentra en el sótano. La habitación es oscura, necesita luz eléctrica todo el tiempo. Faltan enchufes donde poderse conectar. El baño en común es antiguo, huele a cloaca y falta limpieza. Lo mejor: Islam, el chico de la recepción. Un encanto de persona. La ubicación es excelente.
- Klaus-Dieter (2/5): Ungeziefer - Unbedingt zu vermeiden ! Überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen! Ausführlich alles auf tripadvisor ! Hier leider nicht möglich !
- youngchul (6/5): 친절한곳 - 가족이 하는 게스트하우스였어요 밑에 도미토리도 하는것 같던데 커플이 갈 숙소로는 적합하진 않은듯요 콘센트가 거의 없어요 단 직원들은 매우 친절하더라구요 좀 오래된것만 아니면 괜찮았습니다^^
- MUHAMAD SAFIIH (6/5): all items are good - good
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel close to tourist destinations - I travelled from England and received a very warm welcome from staff at the hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious. There are tea/coffee facilities and a lounge where you can relax with other guests. There is a variety of breakfast to choose from and the cook Rehan is very kind. Norshad, Seyful and Nadir are also very nice and happy to help. I would recommend staying here as it is cheap and you get a very good experience overall, as I did :)
- natalie (10/5): Quiet, clean, two blocks from blue mosque - Great value for the money!! The staff was always very friendly and helpful. My room although small was very clean and well furnished with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean and properly working. The best value for the location, amenities and cleanliness.
- Verified traveler (4/5): 위치는 훌륭하나 편안한 안락함은 없었습니다. - 관광지와 가까워 이동이 매우 편리하였지만 호텔 청결상태가 형편없었고 변기고장에 냄새도 나서 3일을 예약한걸 후회했습니다.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Great location and nice top floor spot to have breakfast, but small rooms with no view. Staff were helpful and friendly. A reasonable choice for the budget traveller who only wants a place to sleep
- KILHWAN (6/5): 블루모스크와 가깝습니다. - 블루모스크 가까이에 있는 작은 호텔입니다. 게스트하우스 비슷하지만 술탄 번화가와 가까와서 지리적으로 편리합니다. 오래된 호텔로 화장실이나 시설은 노후합니다. 저렴한 가격으로 이용하기에는 좋습니다.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Zentral gelegen, sehr netter Service, mehr nicht. - Das Hotel ist in einem abgewohnten Zustand. In unserem Zimmer löste sich die Tapete. Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen. Man erreicht die Sultan Ahmet Moschee in 3min. Viele nette Restaurents direkt in der Gegend.
- Jørn Nyholm (8/5): Godt billing hotel i Istanbul - Godt hotel til prisen. Pæne med små værelser - igen ok prisen taget i betragtning. Ok morgenmad igen i forhold til pris. God beliggenhed. Samlet kan anbefales
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal, Preis Leistung absolut okay jedoch renovierungsbedürftige Anlage. Sollte als Europäer nicht so genau genommen werden, alles mit ein wenig Humor sehen und dann ist es eine wundervolle Bleibe für einen spontanen Trip.
- Alex (4/5): Central but VERY basic - The bed was comfortable and the staff very friendly. However, I would not return. The room is very small. No outside window. Forced and very noisy ac in bad. And either a room with strong perfumed air freshener to mask the moldy smells from the bathroom, or if no air freshener the snell of mold and toilet stench. I tried both.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Still nice hotel in this area - I had stayed this neighborhood for several time, comparing others, Cem Sultan is no sewage problem, price is cheaper, location is good, however, no elevator(can ask front desk to carry luggage to the room), breakfast is too simple no roof view for Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia.
- Verified traveler (4/5): great location, the rest below mediocre - great location, right near Sultanahmet Square, and nice terrace view during breakfast. but the rest categories are quite below mediocre. very old/clunky and uncomfortable hotel and room conditions. does the job but not enjoyable stay at all.
- Dorothy (8/5): Definitely worth the money - For the price, you can't beat this place. Great location, big room with pretty luxurious bedding and draperies. It was definitely a lot more than I expected for the price, and I was VERY happy with the choice. The only complaint I have is that the site says there are in-room safes (I brought my computer due to its saying this), but there was no in-room safe to be found. No problem, I carried my computer around town with me; still, I thought it was worth mentioning for those who have a similar decision to make.
- Camilein (6/5): Nice and not expensive hotel - Clean and in the center of all highlights. Restaurants and travel agencies are close. Non dangerous place to walk at night
- ramdas (8/5): Fine stay for family with young kids in Dec 2014 - Office and staff were excellent for info and guidance. Location is excellent. Breakfast was mediocre . Toilet did not work after first flush... miscommunication among staff led to them now fixing it and although we mentioned it, no one came to fix it... perhaps X-mas holiday . Used bucket of water to flush and it worked on that way. View from window of the Sea of Marmara and Kadakoy was excellent. Overall 8 of 10 .
- Boualem (8/5): Holidaying in istanbul - Very friendly staff,very good location,Somme of the standard rooms all small,bathroom need to be refreshed,overall satisfied and I recom people to go there.very good value for money...
- carlos (8/5): good for the price - nice hotel,rooms are not big, but confortable, good for that person who needs a good place to sleep, and who wants atractions i.e Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, Bazars, shopping restaurants, tram,within walking distance.
- Marija (8/5): Great choise! - Nice & clean hotel, great location, friendly and helpful staff. Only 1 disadvantage: there is no elevator.
- a.k (6/5): excellent locaation - great location,clean,service satisfactory
- Asim (8/5): Great Location - It was a nice stay. Hotel Staff was very good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cem Sultan is great - This is a great place to stay in an amazing location. The hotel is a little old, as are most places in the area, but the room was fine, a bit small, great air conditioner, hot shower, etc. You walk out the door, around the corner and there is the Blue Mosque staring you in the face. Great location. Around another corner and down a street is an entire street of restaurants and bar/cafes with great food, friendly people, hookahs, etc. The staff helped with multiple things, including using their own credit card to help me buy concert tickets on a Turkish website.
- Rizza (8/5): Istanbul getaway - I am happy with the hotel location and the great price. All the must-see places are within reach by just walking. The wifi internet is fast and the surrounding neighborhood were friendly and helpful. The hotel price already includes breakfast which really gives value to your money.
- Michelle du Preez (8/5): Extremely well situated neer all the must-see sigh - We had an absolutely wonderful time at the CEM. The room was comfortable and the hotel is very conveniently situated. The owners were friendly, English speaking and very helpful and we will definitely recommend the CEM for your stay.
- Daniel (4/5): Great location, So, So Hotel - For travellers who care only about location. The rest is very mediocre.
- Ramabus (6/5): Hotel room - The hotel was ok but the rooms and bathrooms were very small.
- Matthew (4/5): Not a good value - The room was a closet, the windows were paper thin (which matters early in the morning next to a mosque), the molding around the door in the bathroom was missing. I stayed at the Cem for the first few nights then bargained a deal for a much nicer room for less money at a small hotel accross the street from the 4 seasons. Don't get me wrong, the staff was nice, but the hotel was not.
- Alice (6/5): avarege - The owner of that hotel should consider of making same changes to better serve guests elementary comfort needs and security. Special thanks to both concierges one is Murat, second name I don't recall.
