Guest Reviews

• Ali (10/5): - Reseption personal Josef was goood as usually helpsom and happy alle time. Ali was very good. Give me advise and help me to find some products and really good personal alle . The maid from was very good give me serviette ask me if need to clear .it's good place .for good price Tv boring. Just Turkish. Internet good but not top Brekfast normal but what you expect from this price.. Just this
• Gul (10/5): Excellent - Very clean and very close from sultan mosque and grand bazar like 50miter . Also they have 4floor open restaurant you can see mosque and good view from there . Nothing
• Josefin (10/5): Fantastisk trevligt läge, personalen i lobbyn var mycket hjälpsamma - Läget och personalen Frukosten. Fanns inga valmöjligheter, bara en färdig tallrik.
• Kamoliddin (10/5): - Здравствуйте всем . Я уже как 4 раз был Стамбуле . И могу сказать лишь одно . Персонал очень хороший . Добрый . Особенно Ясуфбей . Хорошое местоположение
• Danielle (8/5): C'était très pratique pour moi et les gens de l'hôtel très gentils. - Emplacement parfait, pour les principales visites de monuments et extrêmement pratique et bien placé, pour le tram. Chambre en arrière, donc silencieuse, mais sans vue. Tout le personnel est gentil, à l'écoute. Une navette existe de l'aéroport à l'hôtel et vice versa. Il faut compter 1H30 et la vision totale de la ville. Dans ma chambre côté cour, donc sans vue, si vous mettez la climatisation dans les étages en dessous, alors le bruit est insupportable.
• Phil (8/5): -
• Daniela (10/5): Ares Hotel posizione eccellente - Io e la mia amica siamo appena tornate da Istanbul dove abbiamo alloggiato all'hotel ARES. Ci siamo trovate benissimo perché nella semplicità è stata la nostra tranquillità sentendoci come a casa. Aytan è sempre stato gentilissimo. La pulizia è stata perfetta. Il terrazzo con una vista stupenda di Santa Sofia. Posizione eccellente di fronte alla Piazza Sultanahmet. Il tram T1 a cca. 400 m. Nulla
• MOTOE (4/5): 次は泊まらない - 場所だけは最高。 お湯が問題なく出た。 朝食が毎日同じ。 シャワーブースが狭い。 テレビが使えない、一度セットしに来てくれたがほぼ見れない。
• Mehmet Burak (10/5): - Perfect location, very helpful staff.
• rafferty (10/5): - The location is perfect , all the major sights are a few minutes walk .All the staff are very friendly and lovely turkish breakfast each morning .Also lovely rooftop terrace with great views of the Sofia All good
• Marie-noëlle (10/5): - La proximité des sites principaux, la sympathie de l'équipe et l'accueil chaleureux du directeur aux petits soins .
• Richard (8/5): - Best location, staff, bed Breakfast could be better - maybe add juice, egg choices. Walls a little thin - I could here people talking, and later snoring!
• Roland (8/5): Dans l'ensemble bien pour un 3 étoiles - Comme le dit beaucoup de monde Joseph est très gentil et serviable et bienveillant. L'emplacement idéal malgré le centre touristique c'était calme le soir et la nuit. Très bonne connexion internet. Pas bouilloire avec café ou thé, pas de pression dans la douche, petit déjeuner trop basique (pas de choix) c'est une assiette servi a table.
• Putero Pourreau (8/5): -
• Ahmet Lojo (10/5): Bilo je jako dobro. Prijateljski odnos je lahko razvijen sa osboljem koje je ljubazno iz srca - Lokacija i osoblje, koje se izuzetno trudi oko gostiju Nije vrijdno spomena
• Serge B (10/5): Great value for money, friendly host, and a comfortable stay in a convenient location. - The owner was extremely welcoming, kind and helpful throughout the stay. The room is small, but if you don’t travel with a lot of luggage, it’s absolutely fine and comfortable enough. Even though the hotel is located in a very touristy area, it was surprisingly quiet at night. Breakfast was simple rather than fancy, but still tasty and satisfying. Considering the very affordable price, the overall experience fully met expectations. The interior and furniture look a bit dated, but this is understandable since it’s not a five-star hotel. Apart from that, everything was good for the price.
• Antonio (8/5): -
• Manuela (9/5): Hotel económico con terraza y vistas a Santa Sofía - Muy céntrico y una buena relación calidad-precio. Buenas vistas a Santa Sofía y restaurante terraza muy agradable. Abierto 24 horas Desayuno siempre era lo mismo. Sugiero que varíe un poco
• Abdelrahman (4/5): Ikke penge værd - Centralt. Toilette i stykke .brusebad ingen tryk i vandet.kunne ikke tænde for fjernsyn
• M (10/5): - all the people and staff were caring ayub,ali,joseph,sabir,farhad specially my brother taneer gardash. will be coming soon best terrace view and foos ever all was perfect

• Guest (4/5): -
• Rosangela (10/5): Fantastic - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tive uma experiência maravilhosa no Hotel Aris em Istambul. Desde o primeiro momento, fui extremamente bem recebida por toda a equipe, sempre muito atenciosa, educada e prestativa. O quarto estava impecável, muito limpo e organizado, o que fez toda a diferença para o meu conforto durante a estadia. A relação custo-benefício do hotel é excelente — entrega muito mais do que se espera pelo valor. Gostaria de destacar também um senhor muito simpático da equipe (infelizmente não me recordo o nome), que foi extremamente gentil comigo o tempo todo, me acompanhou até o quarto e fez com que eu me sentisse realmente em casa. Esse tipo de cuidado faz toda a diferença. Com certeza voltaria a me hospedar aqui e recomendo de olhos fechados para quem busca conforto, bom atendimento e uma experiência acolhedora em Istambul. Muito obrigada por tudo!
• Luiz (8/5): Heel plezierig - Locatie en Personeel Nvt
• Luiz (10/5): Plezierend - Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam Nvt
• Gabriela (7/5): - Personalul a fost uimitor de amabil si ne-a ajutat intotdeauna cu tot ce am avut nevoie,locatia excelenta,terasa cu un view fabulos,pranz cina gustoase.Unele inconveniente le-am ignorat pt ca oamenii au fost foarte calzi si ospitalieri. Micul dejun as fi vrut sa fie imbunatatit cu produse locale diversificat,a fost acelasi mereu ,usa de la baie era defecta,si apa calda uneori era lipsa intre anumite ore in special seara.
• ZOILA MARIANELA (9/5): - El desayuno es una cosa sencilla pero agradable, aprendí a comer pepinos y tomates. Pero lo que me encantó fue su cercanía con todo! La Basílica de la Cisterna esta a la vuelta y la Mezquita azul y Santa Sofía están a escasos metros. Atte. Creo que lo que podría haber ido mejor que haya alguien que hable español, el turco y su inglés es un poco incomprensible. Pero eso lo superamos con el traductor de Google!
• Hossein (10/5): - Everything and everyone was nice 🙂 Hotel staff was really helpful and friendly and heartwarming. Rooms were clean and room service was good 👍🏻 The Tracce of the hotel had a lovely view of main Street and the mosques of sultan Ahmet and Ayasofya We had a great time there I suggest it to everyone 👌🏻
• Behrawar (9/5): - Recently had the pleasure of staying at Ares hotel in Turkey, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome, offering a level of hospitality that felt both professional and heartfelt.Thanks to people like Ali and Joseph, our stay felt truly special. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Turkey and would gladly return again.
• DIEGO (5/5): Non ci tornerei. - La posizione ottima. Ma albergo vecchio camere malandate e non pulitissime. Essenziale e’ dire poco La camera nel complesso mal Coalizione scarsa è sempre uguale. Non a buffet ma piatti fissi scelti dall’hotel.
• inna (7/5): Все понравилось. Хочется возращаться с учетом пожеланий о хотя бы небольшом ремонте. - Впервые за свои 53 года столкнулась с таким гостеприимством, доброжелательностью и радушием персонала отеля. Спасибо огромное и низкий поклон. Также у отеля супер мега отличное расположение, самый центр, все очень близко. В день приезда, пока ждали заселение, нас бесплатно напоили кофе, завтраком, хотя нам не был положен в первый день. На завтраке все подают сами. Огромная тарелка с вкусной и свежей едой. Каждый раз одно и тоже, но нам все нравилось, было очень вкусно. Мягкий хлебушек, вкусное варенье, масло, ассорти сыров, колбаска, маслины, овощи, кексик, яйцо. Кофе вкуснейший. Спрашивают наелись ли мы, предлагают что-то еще. В первый день узнали как мы любим, и подавали с молочком. Чуть ли не каждый день угощали шоколадками, просто от души. Вечером всегда ждали, а мы очень поздно приходили, предлагали чай. Помогали по всем вопросам. Люди супер, просто храни Вас Бог! Ремонт в отеле уже требует обновления, на мой взгляд. При переселении в другой номер пришлось выкрутить и взять с собой лампочку из светильника, т.к. в нашем номере лампа не горела. Сантехника уставшая, кабинка в первом номере протекала, свет очень тусклый в номере и ванной, фен заклеенный. Убирались у нас не каждый день. Нет совсем русских каналов на тв. Но так как мы по сути только ночевали в номере, нам это не сильно испортило впечатления. плюс ко всему цена назначена была соразмерная для перечисленных минусов. Не знала как писать отзыв. Люди и прием прекрасные, местоположение бомбическое, но отелю необходимо обновление.
• Liana (10/5): - Ares este un hotel decent situat foarte aproape de Hagia Sofia. Chiar dacă am avut o cameră mică, a fost suficient pentru o perioada scurta. S-a făcut curățenie în fiecare zi, au schimbat prosoapele zilnic si lenjeria după două zile chiar dacă au știut ca urmează să plecăm în cursul nopții. Foarte ospitalieri, au oferit ceai gratuit fără limită iar pentru cina foarte buna am avut reducere 10%. Am primit și câte o ciocolățică în fiecare zi. Liftul a fost un real folos pentru noi. Ne-am simțit foarte bine, vom reveni! Recomand!
• Ирина (5/5): Цена сильно завышена и не соответствует качеству. - Отзывчивый и приветливый персонал. Очень хорошее расположение. Номер с "уставшим" ремонтом: полки облезли, выкльчатели и розетки замазаны какой-то краской, розетки работают не все, телефон не работает, лампочек не хватает, вентиляция в санузле не работает, постельное белье рваное, двери в номер и санузел закрываются с трудом. Фен отсутствует. На момент заезда не было тапочек, мыла. Конечно что-то после обращения к персоналу поправили: дали тапочки, мыло и заменили рваное бельё. Завтрак состоит из нескольких кусочков сыра, колбасы, огурцов, помидоров. Дают одно яйцо, хлеб, масло и джем. Это было не совсем то, на что мы рассчитывали.
• Diana (10/5): - Локация идеальная, сам отель немного уставший, но в соотношении цена-качество это все мелочи. Завтраки свежие, вкусные, чай кофе весь день фри, в номерах тепло, уборка, свежее постельное за всем следят.
• Erchan (10/5): alles gut kann ich nur weiterempfehlen sehr Sauber und freundlicher personal. Herr Tamer hat uns bis zum Transfer Auto b - Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter Sauberkeit Sehr gute Lage Die Ausstattung ist sehr alt musst unbedingt erneuert werden. Badezimmer sollte man auch erneuern keine Pantoffel in der Zimmer mussten wir selber kaufen
• Hatem (10/5): -
• Giuseppe (8/5): - Personale cortese e disponibile. Il signor Joseph è una persona socievole e gentile. Posizione della struttura eccellente a due passi dalla Moschea blu e da Santa sofia e dalle cisterne.
• Souhir (10/5): - Un immense merci à toute l’équipe de l’hôtel pour ce séjour exceptionnel ! Nous tenons particulièrement à remercier Yucuf Ali, Ayyub, Aïda et Tamer qui sont des personnes vraiment incroyables, toujours souriantes, attentionnées et prêtes à aider. Leur gentillesse a rendu notre expérience encore plus spéciale. L’hôtel est tout simplement parfait : très propre, confortable et idéalement situé à proximité des grands lieux incontournables d’Istanbul, ce qui est un vrai plus pour découvrir la ville facilement. Mes parents et moi avons passé une semaine absolument inoubliable, pleine de beaux souvenirs. Nous reviendrons sans aucun doute dans ce même hôtel lors de notre prochain séjour à Istanbul ! Encore merci pour tout 🙏 Rien

• Jawad (8/5): -
• Sansyzbayev (10/5): Разнообразить завтрак, подремонтировать номера. А так отличная гостиница с выходом прямо на кафе. Фото не делал, но в це - Локация топ, вблизи все основные места туристов, почти прямо на площади Султанахмет. Номнр маловат и подушатан, но не лежанки для приезжаете. Завтрак однообразный, надоедает, но в целом все хорошо. На 8/10
• Carson (10/5): -
• Olga (3/5): -
• Massimo Rodolfo (10/5): Istanbul è una città da visitare assolutamente. - la posizione a 3 minuti da Santa Sofia e dalla Moschea Blu e 2 minuti dalla fermata del tram T1 che consente di raggiungere le fermate di tutti i mezzi pubblici (tram e ferry) per visitare l'intera Istanbul. Ottimo ristorante.
• EdoCAST (10/5): Volveremos! - Ubicación excelente, a pasos del transporte público y de los lugares turísticos mas importantes. Tiene ascensor. Esta en el centro turistico con muchisimas opciones para comer (tambien cuentan con restaurant) con un muy buen desayuno! El personal es muy muy amable. Pudimos realizar check in en la madrugada y mucha disposición para ayudarnos y guiarnos. En general todo muy bien.
• Αποστολακη (5/5): -
• Andy (10/5): Excellent hotel with staff who couldn't do enough to make our stay even better - We checked in as a group of friends and everything was perfect for what we needed Great location with bars and restaurants literally outside the front door. Sultanahmet Square was just a 2 minute walk away
• Αποστολακη (4/5): -
• JIANPING (3/5): “便宜没好货”，建议不要选择这家酒店。 - 地点，因在旧城中心区域，离几个清真寺确实很近，游玩很方便 几乎没有服务、设施过于简陋，性价比低：入住当晚，发现没有厕纸、口杯、水、洗发水、沐浴露；第二天早晨发现早餐要到9：00——游客常要早早出门，根本吃不上，我入住三晚一顿都没吃上，因此，所谓的“含早餐”就是个谎言；床具陈旧，很担心不卫生，尤其当天感觉客人刚走，都没收拾一样；面积超小，一个大行李箱放到地上，挡住了进出通道，每次进出房间走路都要侧身而过；灯每次都要赤脚跑到门边开关，摸黑爬回床上；淋雨热水供应不足，我三天只洗了一次澡；booking明说在酒店吃饭可打9折，实际根本不打折，那个接待是个混子，他自己夸口说11岁就离家出走混世界，因此特别油条、厚脸皮，声称女朋友数以百计。根据我现场观察，入住这家酒店的客人少之又少，为什么？看看我的亲身经历，就知道了。

• binnur (10/5): -
• Inmaculada (7/5): Ubicación 10/ Mantenimiento 3 - La ubicación excepcional a un paso de Santa Sofía La falta de mantenimiento en los cuartos de baño, un mobiliario viejo y mal cuidado hizo que tuviéramos la sensación de estar en un hotel de menos categoría. El desayuno era bastante monótono, te servían un plato sin poder elegir. El café y la leche era en polvo. Mejorable si lo pusieran tipo buffet. Coincidió que había obras en el tranvía y las hacen en la madrugada, muchísimo ruido por lo que no tuvimos buen descanso ya que las ventanas no aislaban del ruido. El hotel está en una zona cortada al tráfico por lo que a la llegada tuvimos que callejear bastante con las maletas. Muy molesto
• Yassine BEN BRIK (10/5): -
• Gulizar (10/5): -
• Paul (9/5): Perfect location - Friendly staff. Joseph was always kind and helpful.
• ÓSCAR (8/5): Muy intersante y agradable. - Lo mejor del hotel es su ubicación, super céntrico, el desayuno debería ser mas variado ya que siempre dan lo mismo, eso si se solicito durante 3 días una tortilla francesa y la hicieron sin coste. Habitaciones mas bien pequeñas y tienes que pedir las toallas por que no ponen demasiadas., el baño tambien pequeño, pero limpio.
• Zoltan (4/5): - Excellent Room
• IVANA (8/5): Le meraviglie di Istanbul a pochi passi in un ambiente sicuro, confortevole e familiare - Posizione centralissima e accessibilità privilegiata a quanto di interesse. Staff attento e disponibile La pulizia potrebbe essere più accurata
• Muhammad (9/5): I do recommend based on location and staff cooperation & friendly behaviour. - Staff is super friendly and cooperative! I did not like the first room but staff changed the room as per our requirement!
• Patricia (10/5): The location was fabulous, and the staff outstanding. - The location was fabulous, and the staff outstanding. Early check in worked better than expected. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Joseph was very attentive, providing us with snack, water and even lending us his bus pass. We were in the center of all we wanted to see on our short stay. Thanks so much!! Internet was a little slow, but we didn't need much so it didn't impact us. Hard to find something to improve!

• Zakaria (10/5): -
• Mariia (9/5): - We came to Istanbul to celebrate New Year's 2026. We booked a transfer through the hotel. A hotel employee met us at the car and helped us carry our luggage. The hotel is ideally located. The Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern are all within walking distance. There's a restaurant on the ground floor. We tried almost every dish, and everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and always helpful.
• Hayati (3/5): Nul ne pas présenter se type d’établissement svp - Accueille La propreté , le confort , tous
• Petr (8/5): - Super místo v centru hned vedle největších památek. Vybavení koupelny již něco pamatuje ale je stále funkční .
• Elisa (4/5): Le salva el que está muy cerca de la parada de tranvia. Nada mas - Sin duda lo mejor la amabilidad del personal muy dispuesto. El desayuno triste y repetitivo, exactamente el mismo plato cada dia escepto el último que fue todavía mas soso. La habitación, minúscula, una cama doble pegada a la pared que la hacia incomodísima, como mueble una silla medio rota y una mesita de noche, nada donde sentarse a leer un rato o descansar. No cambiaron las sabanas en los 7 dias de estancia. el nórdico lo tuvimos que meter nosotros en la funda, hacía frio en la habitación. Anuncian descuentos en comida para clientes y luego no se ven por ningún sitio.
• Yuwei Jia (4/5): - .The hotel has a very good location. The staff are very dedicated and friendly The viewing terrace is beautiful but poorly maintained, and no one would want to dine there in its current condition. The hotel rooms are old and dirty. The shower head in the bathroom is leaking and only provides cold water. The owner does not maintain the facilities properly. The breakfast is very poor — it is not a buffet and consists of only one dish.
• Amaal (10/5): -
• véronique (8/5): - L'accueil et le personnel au petit soin. Emplacement exceptionnel
• Obaid (10/5): - Location is perfect, i like everything
• Esmatullakh (10/5): - ادرس بسیار مقبول بود منظره خوبی داشت صبانه بسیار خوب بود اوطاقای مقبولی داشت
• Sarfraz Yousuf (2/5): -
• HAMDI (6/5): - Personnel très accueillant et surtout monsieur Joseph très sympathique et gentil, l'emplacement de l'hôtel est parfait très proche des musées et la station de métro et les restaurants... La propriété est parfait La chambre est petite surtout le lit 1,5 place pour deux personnes c'est pas bon, support de douchette cassé ce qui rend la douche Inconvénient et ennuyeux dans une petite station malheureusement
• Elvir (1/5): - Wir haben im Oktober eine Woche gebucht aber nur eine Nacht im Hotel geblieben. Nächste Tag haben wir Hotel verlassen. Bitte Hotel nicht buchen. Das Zimmer war unsauber. Durch die Decke fließt Wasser, es hat gestunken man konnte nicht atmen. Überall war Schimmel.
• Mandy (10/5): -
• Marcello (7/5): Accoglienza ottima in ambiente sobrio ma pulito - L'albergo ARES è situato in una posizione strategica, a pochi passi dalla Moschea Blu, da Santa Sofia e dalla Cisterna Romana. Si trova vicino ad una strada percorribile con il Taxi e quindi, una volta orientati, risulta facile da raggiungere. Arrivati in una camera davvero piccola per due persone e priva di armadio, abbiamo chiesto alla reception di poterne avere una migliore e, dopo due notti siamo stati accontentati con una camera migliore e di tariffa più alta, senza alcuna spesa aggiuntiva. Il ragazzo più giovane della reception, sempre sorridente e disponibilissimo ci ha aiutato con la cassetta di sicurezza, con la colazione e l'ultimo giorno si è premurato di recuperarci un paio di baklava e due the caldi perché siamo partiti prima dell'orario stabilito per la colazione. Pur confermando l'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo e la grande disponibilità del personale se qualcuno è alla ricerca di ambienti lussuosi con tutti i confort non deve scegliere questo hotel. Se invece, come noi, è poco attento al lusso, si accontenta della pulizia, dell'ottima posizione e di un prezzo ottimo, questo hotel è perfetto.
• Samy (10/5): Exceptional - Every thing was amazing. It’s a 5 star experience on a very affordable price. Location and staff were top notch especially Mr Joseph ❤️ Nothing
• Naouel (10/5): Josef tu es le meilleur merci encore pour tout - Un séjour exceptionnel à l’Ares Hôtel ! L’accueil a été chaleureux du début à la fin. Tout le personnel est d’une gentillesse incroyable. Le petit déjeuner, servi directement à table, est très bon et très bien présenté. Je tiens à remercier spécialement Mahmoud, qui travaille au restaurant : toujours souriant, serviable et très gentil. Mais la personne qui m’a le plus marquée dans cet hôtel, c’est Monsieur Josef, à la réception. Un vrai bout de sucre, du miel ! Il m’a rassurée, aidée, il me demandait chaque jour comment j’allais. Il faisait l’effort de me parler en français pour que je comprenne bien. Chaque matin, il m’accueillait avec un grand sourire. Généreux, attentif, à l’écoute… les mots ne suffisent pas pour le décrire. Je suis très heureuse d’avoir rencontré Josef : tu es quelqu’un de précieux, un homme en diamant. Merci encore pour tout ce que tu as fait pour moi. Je recommande cet hôtel les yeux fermés ! Tout était Excellent rien à dire
• Polona (7/5): - Lokacija je res super, zajtrk pa nas ni prepričal.
• Pauline (8/5): Fantastic location, fabulous staff.would highly recommend. it even though the accommodation is basic. - Location, location, location and the friendliness of the staff. The hotel is minutes away from Aya Sophia, The Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cisterns, Topkapi Palace and the Trams! The roof terrace/restaurant was excellent with fabulous views of much of the Sultanate. As two ladies of a certain age we very appreciate the care and attention they gave to us. Many thanks Ali for sorting our taxi pick and many thanks to Joseph for helping us with the luggage. Basic rooms but adequate.
• Juliana (8/5): - Lo que más valoro del hotel es su ubicación. Literalmente se ecuentra en el corazón de Sultanahmet: a media cuadra de la Mezquita Santa Sofía y a 1 cuadra de la Mezquita Azul. Valoro mucho también el personal, en especial de Joseph y Ali: me hicieron sentir muy bien y cómoda. Super super atentos y amables. El desayuno me encantó también.. te sirven un plato variado de muchas cosas ricas y te podes repetir el café o el té. Las habitaciones son cómodas, muchos muebles de guardado.. la cama muy cómoda. La habitación no es lujosa, pero está muy bien para ir a descansar, tomar una ducha.. está acorde con el precio digamos. Sin dudas, si volvería a Estambul, volvería al hotel !!
• Alan (10/5): -
• Luciano (5/5): Istambul bellissima ma, non certo per l'Hotel - La posizione è il punto di forza della struttura, il personale alla reception è molto gentile ed educato, disponibile ma, probabilmente sono stati posti limiti dalla proprietà nel gestire le richieste dei clienti. Le camere che non sono quelle descritte e fotografate su Booking, il bagno piccolo e con la quasi impossibilità di usufruire del lavabo ed anche del WC, la cosa peggiore è stata la colazione che, neanche dopo le nostre richieste è stata variata, non siamo abituati a mangiare cetrioli e olive al mattino, due dolcetti che abbiamo chiesto e non ricevuto potevano sostituire quanto da noi non gradito.
• Stuart (9/5): An ideal tourist hotel - Location, Location and Location. 30 metres up a traffic free side street (no noise) with lots of quiet little restaurant's. Not only has it got most of the major tourist sites off the square just 30 metres away, but it also has a tram stop too, from which a lot of other sites are directly accessible, including the ferry port, ferries being a brilliant way of getting around. Public transport is incredibly cheap and easy to use with Google maps. Also the front door is manned 24/7 by lovely helpful people who spoke perfect English and who, I guess, could resolve most things and who I didn't hesitate to leave my bags with on the last day.. Little things like this is what I look for. View from the roof. As to the rooms and breakfast, both what I would expect from what I term a tourist hotel. I was very pleased with everything. A nice quiet place to sleep and breakfast in the heart of where I wanted to be. TV didn't work, but that may be a previous occupant messing with the channels. I wasn't bothered so I didn't mention it, or else I suspect it would have been fixed.
• Anne-Marie (8/5): great little hotel in the heart of old Istanbul - fantastic location and the staff were excellent. The breakfast was very nice and the transportation to the airport was very reasonable and efficient. nothing
• Ivona (9/5): - Excellent location, very helpful and kind staff, great communication before the arrival. They helped us to organize taxi from the airport. Everything was fine and without any problems.

• Ivan (8/5): Всё хорошо: завтраки включены, чистая постель, бельё меняется, есть возможность принять душ и т.п. - Отель располагается в шаговой доступности от основных популярных туристических объектов (цистерна Базилика, собор Святой Софии, Голуба мечеть, парк Гюльхане и др.). Персонал приветлив, может помочь при возникновении трудностей, из минусов - не все говорят по-английски, из плюсов - некоторые говорят по-русски. Завтрак включал следующее: 1 отварное яйцо, чай/кофе (стакан), батон, масло (достаточно, чтобы хорошо намазать на 2 куска батона), 2 ломтика сыра, 2 кусочка варёной колбасы, 1 кусочек творожного сыра (похож как в греческом салате) , 5-7 оливок, варенье, 3 кусочка помидора, 3 кусочка огурца, кусочек бисквита (похож на пирог "Зебра") Первые 2 дня не мог привыкнуть к азану (призыв к молитве у мусульман) - очень громкий и будит рано утром. После адаптации я перестал обращать на него внимание.
• Lucia (5/5): Posizione e gentilezza del proprietario hanno aiutato moltissimo - Posizione eccezionale, e staff alla reception gentile Colazione in un piatto, identica per 7 giorni, pulizia e soprattutto bagni con scarichi ingorgati e non puliti, asciugamani un terno al lotto, alcune camere dove non si poteva aprire le finestre e tanta umidità. Tutte cose migliorabili con poco, ma anche se chiedi, non ti viene dato. Peccato, diciamo che ti devi molto adattare e non è per il prezzo è per servizi e pulizie che non brilla per niente. Peccato davvero perché il posto è davvero 🔝
• Vukasin (8/5): - Odlična lokacija, terasa na krovu se prelepim pogledan, udoban krevet Doručak loš i svaki dan isti.

• Галия (10/5): - Отдыхали в отеле с 1 по 8 ноября 2025года с друзьями. Отличное расположение отеля. Всё достопримечательности в пешой доступности. Очень приветливый и вежливый персонал. Помогают с любыми вопросами. Особенно понравился ресепшен Али и рускоговоряшая повар на кухне Нана кажеться её звали. Самое главное расположение отеля отличное. Есть так же терраса с видом на площадь. Приветливый персонал и расположение отеля!
• Mikhail (8/5): - Big thanks for all staff for theirs hospitality! All crew was really helpful and kind. Location is amazing, just 2 steps from the central square, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Good view from the terrace of the hotel. That's really old hotel and it needs renovation.
• Raffaella (10/5): - Posizione perfetta, vicinissima alle principali attrazioni di Istanbul e ai mezzi pubblici per raggiungere altri quartieri della città. La struttura è pulita e accogliente, tutto lo staff gentile e disponibile, pronto a soddisfare ogni esigenza. Joseph sempre presente e gentilissimo, ti fa sentire come a casa. Grazie!
