Guest Reviews

• Karl (1/5): - Nothing it was it was closed for refurbishment As above
• Iana (10/5): - Небольшие но комфортные и чистые номера , с холодильником и конлиционером . Классный , очень располагающий персонал , всегда готовый помочь . Чудесная терраса на крыше с видом на море .Для любителей олдсити само то, узкие улочки, атмосфера старого города, тишина по вечерам после закрытия грандбазара и рыночный гомон с утра -, любимый район Истанбула!
• Tehseen Ullah (7/5): -
• Jesica (10/5): Great but narrow stairs - The reception person was nice only stayed a night The stairs steps were kind of narrow but made it there is no elevator
• Faissal (2/5): -
• Güllü (6/5): -
• María Ángeles (5/5): Decepcionante - El personal. Súper amable y hospitalario. La habitación que teníamos era súper pequeña y estrecha y yo me sentía agobiada. Lo comenté en recepción y sin ningún problema me cambiaron a una más amplia. Instalaciones antiguas y descuidadas. Enchufes rotos. El baño hiper estrecho. La ducha se atrancaba con el agua. No había ascensor . La azotea no estaba montada . En las fotos el hotel parece otra cosa.
• GERARDO (10/5): - Perfect location
• Valentina (8/5): - The stay was good for the price and the host very very helpful and nice
• Huseynova (10/5): Exceptional -
• Darija (4/5): Disappointing - Solid location Dirthy, noisy and old
• Leidy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yilmaz (10/5): Exceptional - Elchin is super man👍
• MARINA (8/5): Opção simples e econômica em Istambul - Hotel com localização conveniente, bom custo/benefício, proximo a comércio, restaurantes e trasnporte público.
• Igbal (10/5): Exceptional - I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Istanbul! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to all the main attractions, shops, and restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with local tips. The room was clean, cozy, and well-equipped, making it a great place to relax after a day of exploring. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!
• Sofiya (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff, nice location near to major tourist attractions such as Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque
• Reda (7/5): Convenient location - It’s based in the Old city so you can walk everywhere. Quite a few shops and restaurants around as well. The room was cleaned every 2 days and sheets changed. There was no coffee/tea maker as advertised on a website. We asked so they brought two cups and a kettle only. It gets quite noisy around midnight from the reception probably due to staff change. The room facilities could be updated, e.g. properly fix the sockets not just push them in with a piece of paper.
• Alibabayev11 (10/5): Exceptional - Stuff were kind, place was close to the city center. Price for the hotel is good Everything was okay
• 5gt (3/5): Poor -
• Dragana (9/5): Perfect place location for those who like to walk and its close to T1 tram and cityseeing places you can visit just in 1 - Location is perfect, 10min of walk to all “important” places for a visit!
• Hanan (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodations were comfortable and well-appointed, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The location is fantastic, with numerous attractions, restaurants, and shops all within walking distance. I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff was attentive and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable, offering helpful recommendations and promptly addressing any requests I had. The rooms are super comfortable and clean.
• Dodeja (10/5): Great stay; great location; nice staff😇 - The property is perfect! The stay was great and if I could, I would’ve extended it more! The property owner, Elçhin is a great sport. He made sure of my comfort at all times and surprisingly he was there at all times 24/7!
• Muhanad (10/5): I enjoyed my stay at Fors hotel - Would highly recommend this hotel. The staff is very helpful and the hotel is very good value for money.
• Muh (10/5): - Iyi, guzel
• Aamina (10/5): Exceptional -
• hasan huseyin (10/5): - Teşekkür ederim, fiyatına göre uygun, temiz bir otel
• Giuseppe (6/5): - Proprietario amichevole
• Baku (10/5): I enjoyed a lot staying at Fors Hotel. - The approach of the personnel, location and the atmosphere. Elchin, who is the operation manager was very helpful too. There are plenty of stores as A101, ŞOK, Kim on Kadirga Square located in 3-5 min walking distance from the hotel. The walking distance to Sultan Ahmet will be 15 min which is close too. The closest metrobus stop if you use the metro bus is Çemberköy.
• Hassan (8/5): Very good - The attendant at the reception was very kind, humble and cooperative.
• Md (8/5): Overall it was a nice stay for 24 hours. The staff of the hotel was helpful - I have taken breakfast from a roadside shop. It was delicious Cleanliness

• Tavdumadze (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, close to all attractions. The best service for the lowest price. The hotel is clean and has all the comforts
• Andrew (4/5): Disappointing -
• Menendez (7/5): Good - Staff was great. I was disappointed that there was no Internet for the length of my stay. One of the reasons, I chose this place was because of free wifi. I was blindsided. There was no Internet from arrival to the end of the stay.
• Roman (9/5): Superb -
• Mohammed waqas (6/5): - The property was okay but when we got inside one of the room lights wouldn’t work and the worst part was sleeping there because we had to keep the AC on all night because it was soo hottt there was a bad rattling noise coming through the AC we told the reception but they were unable to do anything we stayed there 5 nights and out of all them.5 nights we probably slept for like 2 hours each day because we couldn’t sleep
• Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Staff was so helpful and hospitable. They went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met and they did it with a very caring and pleasant attitude.
• Dirk (6/5): Pleasant - Central Location The terrace can do with some umbrella's as it is very nice sitting outside.
• Simon (8/5): Great value base to explore an awesome city. - Location was great - short walk to old town and major sites, with lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops all within an easy walk. Great base to explore and the streets around all felt very safe, even in the early hours of the morning. The hotel rooftop was a great place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Staff on reception were friendly and helpful. The rooms were pretty basic, which is what we were expecting given the cost, so no complaints, and they were cleaned every day.
• Borhan (3/5): Poor -
• Marko (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (8/5): - The stairs to the 2nd floor were very narrow and steep, and the room was very small, but the location was great. An easy walk to the Aya Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alfiefine (8/5): It's a great accomodation for its price - It's a great place for what you pay. We were staying there for 8 nights and felt pretty comfortable 1. The location is wonderful: all main sights of the Old Town are just 10 minutes walk away 2. There are plenty of reataurants both expnsive and cheap nearby 3. There nearest supermarket Show is also about 500 meters away 4. The view from the terrace is really lovely 5. There are towels, slippers, soap and showr gel in the room 6. The stuff is friendly and super helpful 7. If you want to drink tea in your room, the receptionist will provide you with a kettle, no problem 8. Although the street itself looks a bit dodgy, we (two girls) felt pretty safe in the neighbourhood 1. The shower stall needs at least one shelf inside 2. Our bathroom had a broken toiletseat and kind of an old shower 3. There is a kettle in the photos but it's not there in the room. Still, as I mentioned, you can simply ask for it at the reception
• Alejandro (10/5): Excelente - Muy cómodo y limpio. Buen trato excelente lugar.
• Chiara (6/5): - Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage. Wie beschrieben kommt man zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten Hagia Sophia, Blaue Mosche und Grand Bazar schnell zu Fuß hin. Die Zimmer sahen auf den Fotos viel schöner aus. Sie sind schon ein wenig heruntergekommen und nicht sehr sauber. Ebenso sind die Zimmer im Erdgeschoss sehr laut. Man konnte die Gäst von den Zimmern nebenan und alles was in der Lobby passierte hören. Im großen und ganzen war die Unterkunft für das Geld in Ordnung.
• Ani (9/5): Superb -
• Kimbarishvili (2/5): Very poor -
• Dilianasx (8/5): Very good - Good place Rooms too small
• Batal Gazi (2/5): - Das Personal war Top!!!! Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter hat das Hotel. Zu erst waren wir in einem Zimmer was eine reinste Katastrophe war. Es war zu klein, dreckig und überall spinnen an den Wänden. Das Badezimmer war voll mit schummeln und war am stinken. Dusche und Toilette waren sehr dicht beieinander sodass man sich quer auf die Toilette setzten musste. Am nächsten tag habe ich mich beschwert und für einen aufpreis von 55€ ein größeres zimmer bekommen wo meine Frau und ich mehr platz hatten. Auch hier war das Badezimmer eine Katastrophe. Schimmel überall und auch hier hat es gestunken. Klimaanlage hat Gott sei dank funktioniert was leider Gottes im ersten Zimmer nicht funktioniert hat. Wie oben erwähnt das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und super freundlich. Das hotel aber an sich ist eine Katastrophe. Die Handtücher, Bettwäsche Bettlaken wurden zwar jeden Tag erneuert aber da waren Flecken drauf.!!!!! Bitte überlegt euch das dreimal ob ihr das gotel buchen möchtet...!!!
• SHARIF (2/5): - Not recommended to anyone this is utterly poor hotel
• Ervina (2/5): - This place is not clean and in fact very dirty. There is mold in the bathroom all over the floor and wall tiles. The fridge in the room is old, rusty and also very dirty. Electricity outlets and hanging from the wall and are not safe to be used. The terrace is dirty as well and not usable. In the pictures it's shown nicely set up but it's not. Breakfast is tiny and not fit for a grown adult. This place should not be listed for bookings. Pictures that are listed online are not what you see when you go to the property.
• Miloslava (7/5): Good - Simple hotel, located close to all major sights. On the next street we enjoyed opportunities to have a cheap and good dinner. Terrace is a good place for family talks, maybe it needs little improvements. A little disappoinment was breakfast - no buffet as it was promised, every day we had the same meal. But the portions we ok. The location is a little bit noisy, what might be a problem for sensitive people, for us it was not a problem - we liked to feel the "vibes" of Istanbul.
• Michael (8/5): - Desayuno mejorable. Habitación reformada y baño un poco descuidado. Buen aire, y buena atencion en recepción. ¡Muy centrico!
• Anna (10/5): - Walking distance to attractions. A lot of cheap places to eat. Safe and no noise. Helpful stuff, good small breakfast. Clean room. Will stay again.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good Hotel but worst breakfast in Turkey. - Reasonable hotel with aircon and tv working fine. Main issue was with the poor breakfast as there was no buffet and you were given a tiny fixed plate. When asking for more you were just given 1 small slice of cheese.. Breakfast let it down big time.
• Merve (8/5): - War alles super. Alle sehr nett aber Frühstück könnte besser sein (mehr Auswahl)
• Jamel El (4/5): - Petite chambre viello sdb miniscule
• Kam (8/5): - I really liked the hotel and the area, the staff was really nice and very helpful, you need to remember something you come to 3 stars hotel so lower your expectations. Besides that everything was good and I enjoyed the experience. Special Thanks to Elcin he is one of the staff members for all the helps and the advices he gave me about area and Istanbul in general
• Abdelouahed (10/5): - Pulita personale disponibile
• Salah (10/5): - Tous est trés bien
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The room was unbelievably small but the staff were friendly.
• dany (10/5): - Bonjour le propriétaire sont très gentil malheureusement nous avons pas y’a le temps de parler problème des langues ça va dans l’ensemble le chauffeur très très gentil cool
• Anissa (2/5): - Alles was vreselijk. Niks klopt wat je te zien is op de foto’s koud kamers verwarming werken niet meerder malen over geklaagd tocht in de kamer schimmels in badkamer slaapkamer vochtig Ontbijt is niet te eten en echt wel extreem weinig 1 ei en 2 olijven en pakje kaas en plakje worst meer niet. Er is en papegaai in het hotel die hele dag door kraait. Hotel kamer heeft en raam die genoten is door en gebouw terwijl ze beschrijven uitzicht op zee, kortom niks klopt we hebben vreselijk tijd daar gehad en ik zal er dan ook nooit terug gaan !
• Samir (4/5): - na
• Mohamed (2/5): - Vies smerig hotel. Douch vol schimmel, kamer luidruchtig en personeel houdt niet rekening mee en ze muziek hard aan. Kamers zijn vies en lakens handdoeken worden niet goed gewassen. Letterlijk ik werd daar ziek
• Samir (4/5): - not what we expected prity dirty
• Ebru (4/5): - Odamız dışında oda verildi odamızın temizlenmesi istedik geldiğimizde aynıydı hizmetini beğenmedik
• Süleyman Turancan (6/5): Pek keyifli değildi - Hizmet kalitesini beğenmedim
• Rosser (6/5): - You get what you pay for... hard to find. The ac was not working, room got very hot. You can hear all the noises from the street, so if you are a light sleeper it’s not for you. Their phone number publish on this side is not a working number.
• Majda (8/5): - It was nice hotel for its reasonable price. Staff were helpfull. You need to walk like 15 minutes to get to blue mosque. Breakfast was not all that. The room was clean, neat and quiet.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Istanbul's Fors Hotel is a great budget traveler's choice. The location is great--right in the heart of Old Town, and close to the light rail transit system. The price is right: very inexpensive compared to other Istanbul choices. The rooms are small, but clean and practical. The staff is most helpful and friendly.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff friendly, in a nice neighbourhood, superbly located, 20 minute to the gRAND bazaar and 20 minute walk to Aghia Sophia. Clean and easy going, value for money.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was really good and very clean and all the stuff helped me.. Thank you for everything
• Sam (8/5): Amazingly located - This hotel provides a very warm and home like atmosphere which makes the visitor instantly comfortable and relaxed. The staff are exceedingly helpful and speak reasonably good English and are well conversant. The hotel is clean and the breakfast menu is simple yet highly satisfactory and nourishing. Its location is superb especially for those who intend to visit a traditional Turkish bath as there is an excellent one right up your street. It is close to the old district of Sultanahmet and most of the historical sites like the Bazzar and Cemberlitas Column. Comes highly recommended.
• Nasir (8/5): Good location at a good price - Good staff. Reasonably good room. Very good breakfast options. Good location.
• stan (6/5): cheap and in the old part - The hill up is quite steep upwards (indeed with luggage very steep),no pavement all the way and easy to get lost. The TV seems not to have any relevance as we couldn't find a channel in english. The rooms are very small. We pulled bed out from wall and only just had room to move to toilet. 2 bigger people would have major problems. There is no space to put suitcases. One night a man was watching TV and looked at us and ignored us(when we entered) so I assumed he was a guest and not the receptionist to give us our key. We waited a few minutes for someone to come.In the end I found the bell and pinged it. TV watcher then stood up and asked if we needed help. Most bizarre. Breakfast was adequate but tea and coffee bad.. coffee turned out to be a gold blend machine and the tea was Turkish Black.
• M.Omran (6/5): nice budget hotel - u get what u pay .. this hotel is very nice,cheap & not far from the sights but the only disadvantage was the room area
• Jenny (10/5): Great base! - we arrived mid evening really tired the under manager was lovely so helpful .The breakfast is a good basic buffet great hours up to 10.30.Flors is in the old city easy to walk to the main square(10 mins) and about the same to the sea. The nearest beach is a 30 min bus ride away and you have to pay about £5 to enter so sea bathing was not easy and no pool however, the roof terrace has fab views great place for a morning coffee and the sea promenade nice to walk along. Lots of places to eat near by and a great ladies Turkish bath on the corner of the street a must!!! For the money I was extremely pleased and would go back.
• Gunta (8/5): Good Hotel :) - It wasn't any view from window it was wall, but because we wasn't in room in daytime, so we didn't bother about it. Service was great, reception people was nice. Breakfast really good.
• A Normal Traveler (8/5): Great Hotel for the price - Positives: Great hotel for the money. Breakfast will not wow you but it was again good for the price we paid. Decent location. On par with other European style hotels. Negatives: The Wifi kept going in and out so email would work but it was hard surfing the web. Also the hotels is right across from a Turkish bath. Not the well known Touristy ones, but I had a great experience.
• GeorgeG (10/5): Fantastic Hotel - Staff very friendly, great location for sightseeing only 10 min walk to main tourist areas, bedroom very clean.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice place to stay in the historical area! - Excellent service, nice staff and perfectly located to enjoy the maximum the historical surroundings of istanbul!
• Bibi (8/5): Very Helpful Staff - I was really struck by the warmth of the hotel staff, they made sure that my stay was pleasant and that I was well looked after - and safe. Once, the gentleman at Reception ran after me with an umbrella just so that I didn't get wet as it was threatening to rain! The hotel is close to several of the main attractions like the grand Bazzar and the Blue Mosque. The Historia Shopping Mall is not too far away as well. The taxi driver from the airport had no difficulty getting there and the hotel was able to arrange a taxi to take me to the airport. I was also able to leave my luggage at Reception and come back for it later as my flight was at 5.00pm. Breakfast was basic: bread, cold meat, cheese, cucmber, tomato, olives, cereal, tea and lime juice. It would have been nicer if there had been some hot/cooked food.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Dodgy area, fake photos - The images on the hotels website must be photoshoped, the view is impossible and the surrounding neighbourhood was very suspect. My room window looked straight into a wall, the room was very small and the location of the hotel was unpleasent and unsafe.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Not really 3 star more like 2 star.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Hotel staff was the only positive about our experience. Two of the three desk attendants were very friendly. We were traveling as 3 adults and they tried to cram us into a room by adding a bed to a double room where there would be absolutely no floor space for walking. The location is awful..seedy neighborhood no location atmosphere at all. The breakfast was marginal and in the basement. There were no elevators so be prepared for steep narrow steps to climb.
• Rezaul (4/5): Hotel Fors has small rooms, poor location - The location is in a poor area.Its 15 minutes walk from the nearest tram station down hill. The area is surrounded by poor old buildings. The rooms are very small. Our phone and piece of jewelry got stolen. Service was ok.
• suney (6/5): good - first of all, I had more option to take for hotel, but I chose forse hotel, because they had shuttle service from airport.so,I took that one because I didn't know any turkish language, I arrived to Istanbul, I didn't see any one to take me to the hotel, after one hour waiting, I found some one, who spoke English and Turkish. He called hotel, they said, they don't have that service. I had to pay $50.00 to some body who take me to hotel, I don;t know It was false advertising for hotel[...] ?any ways after that, in all 2 nights and one day I was over there, no body ever said welcome. They had very poor customer service, and there mean, I don't recommend forse hotel to any one. However, it had a comfortable bed.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Fors Hotels, good to visit the old city !! - Very friendly welcoming ;-) The breakfast is simple but very nice, from 7.30 to 10.30 with very fresh fruit. There is a woman haman just next to the coner Plenty of good restaurants, the Grand Bazaar, Blue mosk, Haya Sofia, Topkapi palace, just next to the hotel. And Taxim with of the night life is just 15 minutes away in tram
• Independent Cruiser (6/5): Fors Hotel 6/26/10 - The hotel was a little tough to find, just off a street with several hotels and small restraurants. It was a good value for one night stay. Breakfast was clean with standard selections of small european hotels. Bread, cold cuts, tomatoes, cereal, fruits, jellies, sausage, hard boiled eggs etc. Room and bath were clean, bed comfortable. Staff was polite and helpful.
• Brimo (8/5): Great Location Great Price! - This hotel was a great find in old town Istanbul. It was only a short walk from a light rail stop and about a 10 minute walk to the Blue Mosque. The rooms were very new and clean and the staff was attentive and friendly. The room was small but for the price was so worth it. I would definitely stay here again.
