Guest Reviews
- Shadman (10/5): الموظف يعرف اللغة الكردية وحضرت فى وقت المحدد ومكان هادئ وموقع جيد - Very good موقع هادىء
- Csapo (2/5): Depressing, terrible. Avoid it at all costs! - Location, close to metro & university. We were deeply disappointed in this accommodation. First of all, the photos do not do justice to the atmosphere of peeling paint, cramped spaces and filth everywhere. Not to mention the dirty floors, counters and fridge, the bathroom was not at all a nice invitation to take a shower or use the toilet... The guest room had no door separating it from the living room, but it led to the dirty inner garden (and the toilet is 1 meter from the guest bed). In addition, we had to heat the rooms with air conditioning, as the heating system was not working properly, the cold was coming in through the window. The double bed was unnecessarily narrow, the bedding was plain and worn. The pillows were hard, the mattress was basic. You can hear every movement in the hallway and the street is terribly noisy. Yes, it is noisy even at night.
The only bright spot of the accommodation is its location with cheap restaurants and walking distance to attractions.
Overall, we do not recommend this apartment.
- Taiga (1/5): 泊まるべきではない - よかった所は特に無し このホテルをbooking .comで予約した時キッチン付きの4台ベットがある部屋を予約していたのですが当日行くとキッチンがなくオーナーに連絡すると弟の管理不足だ ごめんだけで返金を求めると部屋を変更してくれたがベットが3つしかなく4人で止まって最悪でした
またアパートのためカウンターがなくbooking.comのメッセージでやり取りしていたのですが連絡が取れずチェックインの時間になっても連絡が返ってこなかったまた朝犬の鳴き声や人の声がうるさくあまり静かな場所ではなかった
- Fereshta (6/5): -
- Issam_IKHELEF (7/5): - الموقع جيد يسمح بزيارة كل المدينة
مطاعم عديدة قريبة و رخيصة
صاحب النزل ودي
easy check-in and check-out
مترو قريب المرحاض يحتاج بعض التجديد
السخان داخل الغرفة مقلق قليلا في الشتاء
الوسائد تحتاج تجديد
لا يوجد مطبخ و من المستحسن اضافة microwave
- Selmi (9/5): - J'aime tous réellement.
L'emplacement, l'equipement, le personnel et la rapport qualité prix.
- NIKOLAS (7/5): -
- Dilara (10/5): - Die Lage ist super wenn man schnell in der Altstadt sein will. Es ist gut angebunden und hat auch unmittelbar kleine Essenslokale in der nähe. Der Host war außerdem auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!
- Maher Sadaqah (7/5): - كان تعامل الطاقم جميل وراقي جدا معانا ورغم وجود بعض السلبيات الا انهم كانوا دائماً متجاوبين معانا..اغلب الاحتياجات كانت متواجده.. بالرغم من وجود بعض السلبيات لكن برأيي انها سلبيات يمكن اصلاحها من قبل صاحب السكن -وجود السكن في مكان جبلي..اي انه يحتاج لياقة عاليه
-سخان الماء في دورة المياه لم يكن جيدا جدا بعض الاوقات يتوقف عن العمل..اتمنى من السكن اصلاحه
-الواي فاي كان سيء في اغلب الاوقات من ما اجبرني ع الاشتراك في باقات انترنت خارجيه وهذا رفع من ميزانية سفرتي واقامتي الشخصيه
- الغرفه تحتاج عزل افضل واقوى كنت اسمع دائما اصوات الجيران بجوارنا😂
- وجود خزنة صغيره فقط..كنا 5 اشخاص ولكن الخزنه تكفي 2-3 اشخاص فقط

- Nitulescu (5/5): bunicel - locatie aproape de obiectivele turistice cam neglijenta
- Mohammed (8/5): - Sehr saubere Zimmer
- Tchier (9/5): Formidable - L’appartement est propre et bien équipée de tout,je vous conseille de y aller sans aucun doute surtout l’emplacement,4 minute à pied de métro et 10 minutes à pied de tramway,plusieurs places à visites juste à côté,le monsieur qui m’as accullie était très gentil et serviable
Je reviens pour la prochaine fois
Rapport/Qualité/prix très raisonnable
Merci 🥰🙏
- Ben mazouz (8/5): - “What I liked the most about the hotel was the kindness of the staff, the convenient location near the metro, the quiet surroundings, and the absence of any disturbances.”
- Erofili (2/5): -
- JehonaLuta (10/5): - The location was perfect, the apartment was very clean, I loved the beds. My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. Nothing, everything was great.

- Nemanja (7/5): 🐈 - Apartman je na odlicnoj lokaciji, 20 metara od smestaja se nalazi privatni parking (10 evra na dan), prodavnica u zgradi pored, turisticke atrakcije i znamenitosti su daleko na oko 15, 20 min hoda.
Obavezno obratiti paznju ko ne zna, pojedine ulice se zatvaraju za saobracaj u 10h ujutru i otvaraju u 18h posle podne (informisati se kod domaćina)
Domacin je veoma prijatan i trudi se da pomogne sve sto treba.
Kreveti su bili cisti i udobni, kupatilo je bilo cisto.
Odnost cene i kvaliteta je vise nego odlican. Nedostaju neke sitnice kao sto su neke kačaljke u kupatilu, bolji fen, džoger za skupljanje vode i slicno.
- Николай Киряков (10/5): -
- Ibrahim (10/5): - Sehr netter Mitarbeiter. Die versuchten alles. Um dir zu helfen
- Sana (10/5): -
- cristian (4/5): Choose something else. - Was in a quiet place. Washing machine written in the facility but completely missing, water robinete completely missing, not clean and no cleaning done during our stay
- Desbrosses (8/5): Un lieu calme au cœur de la vieille ville. - La situation géographique dans un quartier calme et authentique, proche de tout. 
- Amer (1/5): Katastrophal - Nichts! Es war eine Katastrophe!!! Überall Ameisen, kaputter Wasserhahn, Abfluss verstopft, mit dem Vermieter gab es nur Kontakt per WhatsApp, als wir eine Rückerstattung gefordert haben, wurde diese abgelehnt, nicht einmal ein Entgegenkommen! Nachts wurde über uns gepoltert, so dass unsere Kinder immer wieder wach wurden. Finger weg!!!
- Giuseppe (1/5): Puzza e formiche - La casa era piena di formiche, anche nei letti e sotto i cuscini. Il bagno non era stato lavato e non c'era un buon odore.
Abbiamo chiamato il proprietario e, quando è arrivato in casa e abbiamo fatto notare i problemi, ha detto che a parere suo era tutto perfetto.🤣
Sconsigliato.
- Evgeny (9/5): - Удобное расположение. Удобный семейный номер - две комнаты, что было нам особенно необходимо. Вполне чисто. Полотенца немного "уставшие" но чистые. В целом очень неплохо. Соответствует ожиданиям. Жестковаты подушки, непривычно. Т.к. это квартира, неплохо бы добавить в номер микроволновку и побольше посуды. А также средство для ее мытья и губки.
- Ali (9/5): Superb - friendly treatment
- Zeeshan (7/5): Good -
- Hikmet (2/5): Very poor -
- Dmitriy (9/5): Great value - Overall, a great stay with two rooms and four beds The imperfections were rather minor and came down to the bathroom
- Milan (9/5): Perfect for families - Great location, five minute walk to metro, very comfortable beds. Perfect for a family. Extremely kind host who took care of us at midnight after another accomodation turned out to be a scam. Nothing
- Florinel (5/5): Passable -
- Rez (5/5): Not suitable for elderly or limited mobility – 4th floor with no lift - The apartment itself was clean and well-equipped with enough beds for a family. Though not very spacious, the layout was manageable. The location is within a tourist area with access to shops and eateries, which is a plus. The biggest challenge was the stairs – the unit is on the 4th floor with no lift, and the staircase is extremely narrow and steep, only wide enough for one person at a time. This made it very difficult, especially for families with children, elderly guests, or those with mobility issues like myself recovering from ACL surgery. Carrying luggage up and down was a very unpleasant experience. Definitely not suitable if you can't handle stairs.
- Sara (9/5): Superb -
- Marković (7/5): Good for long stay, location very good, stuff polite and nice - Location is perfect, close to all places you should visit, big and spacious for the whole family. Pretty much dirty, not cleaned properly, water heater for coffee rusty and dirty, cups dirty from coffee, not cleaned.
- Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were great and very polite
- Mohammed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alex (4/5): Disappointing - Location The toilet flush does not work. Water is leaking from the shower stall. The curtains are very dusty. The tiles have peeled off the walls. It is very dirty.
- Daria (8/5): Pretty good) - Location is good, pretty close to subway, also it was easy to go to the city centre by foot. Staff was friendly and always ready to help. Facilities were also good enough, especially for family - it was warm inside apartment, the kitchen was full off everything you need - tea, coffee (including small coffee machine), plates, cups and so on. Thanks a lot
- Samer (9/5): Superb - Every thing was good No thing
- Florin (9/5): Good quality/price ratio - Close to the main objectives.
Parking space at 10 euro/day near the hotel.
Although the building is old, the rooms are modern.
Very good communication with the owner. The pillows in the room were a bit hard. We asked for at least a softer pillow and we were told that they don't have any.
There was a foul sewage smell coming from under the kitchen sink
- sana (2/5): - The place was neither ready to be checked,in and dirty by the time we arrived. The relative of the owner had really bad communication skills and made the experience even worse.
- Everest (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oussama (10/5): The Best Appartement and Owner in Istanbul - The owner is too kind, he help us in many ways.
PRICE is very cheap
FREE INTERNET
4-5 min TO METRO/TRAM/BUS STATION
APPARTEMENT Clean, large and has all the necessary
Owner speak Turkish, English & Arabic fluent
I also leave a luggage till go back after 20 days without no problem even owner was happy to keep free of charge I would never found a better offer/facility than this
- Jihong (8/5): Very good -
- Ayesha (9/5): Superb -
- Ihsan (4/5): Disappointing - Location Facilities, behaviour of owner. Demanding cash payment and not willing to give receipt. Started shouting once insisted for the cash receipt. Never happened around the globe. First time someone not willing to give receipt.
- Saad (3/5): Great location but not worth the stay - The only thing good was my conversation with Mr. Burak. He listened to my concerns but there wasn't much that happened eventually. The apartment is extremely small. 2 out of the 3 single beds shown in the picture are broken. When I mentioned about it, there were no actions taken on this regard. The air conditioning unit is only in 1 bedroom. The room with the queen bed does not have any A/C and I didn't see anything about it in the description.
Most the bedsheets and beddings had stains on them. Mr. Burak acknowledged the concern and mentioned Nizam would come and change them. But we had to be available at the apartment based on Nizam's schedule and that never worked out so we had to sleep and use the stained sheets. Nizam told us previous clients abused the sheets and stained them but they are clean so we should be ok. I wonder how this is an appropriate response to a client.
The kitchen has a stove but no lighter to turn on the gas. When I asked Mr. Nizam if I could get a lighter to cook the breakfast in the morning, he was annoyed and asked me to go and buy one myself from the convenient store downstairs or give him the money as he was in Taksim in the morning. Mr. Nizam wasn't on site most of the time. I stopped asking after this behavior and did what we could to spend the last few days of our vacation in this misery.
The drains in the bathrooms didn't have covers so you could see the dirty pipes every time you went to shower. We had limited supplies and when we ran out of toilet paper completely, we had to ask for more and Mr. Nizam brought the TPs the following day which lasted us the last 2 days we had here. Thank you for the TP rolls.
The wi-fi in the apartment is just terrible. We couldn't connect to it most of the time. They should rather say no wi-fi in the apartment.
Overall, this was our worst stay during our 3 week long Turkey trip. Unless they focus on customer service and make significant improvements to the property, I wouldn't recommend staying here even if it is cheap.
- Valentina (1/5): Bad -
- Alexis (10/5): A great apartment with very helpful hosts. - The room was clean and everything appeared recently decorated. The hosts were very helpful, messaging us before arrival. They were waiting ready to help us when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again. We liked the area, as it’s near the university we found a lot of nice local coffee shops and restaurants.
- Omair (6/5): Pleasant - The location was good as the Metro Station and Tram Station was 5 to 7 minutes within walking distance.
There was a grocery downstairs selling items at reasonable prices. No housekeeping services are available.
Our room didn't have any fan or air conditioner.
There should have been a stove, microwave and washing machine.
- Ivan (9/5): Superb -
- Mubarak (7/5): Cost effective and friendly / bit noisy - The Apartment was clean and decent. It fullfills all the requirements for a small family. Also the breakfast in the nearby kiosk is very reasonable. The staff is very friendly and open for helping. The house was a bit noisy. The walls are not well isolated and one can hear the noises of neighbours and that can really disturb at night. Also there is no cleaning service. The warm water can be a problem.
- Ergys (10/5): Exceptional - a very good place to stay in Istanbul, the owner is very kind and helpful for every need. good location and with all the conditions for families and couples, close to the center and the market. I stayed 5 days with my family and had a great time. I believe that in the future I will come again.
- Кира (10/5): A wonderful little hotel, very caring host! - Wonderful apartment in the city center, perfect location. The Topkapi Palace and the Hagia Sophia Mosque can be reached in half an hour by foot, a five-minute walk from the metro station, it is very convenient to get anywhere. The room is small, but it has everything you need, not only a kettle and a hairdryer, but even an iron, ironing board and vacuum cleaner. I would also like to note the presence of a desktop and a comfortable chair, which is indispensable if you urgently need to do something at the computer.
I was traveling alone with my daughter, and the hotel owner carefully allocated us a room on the ground floor, very convenient. Breakfast is served in a cafe two minutes away on foot, hearty and varied. Thank you very much! We will definitely advise you our friends, and the next trip to Istanbul we will live only here!
- Papa (9/5): Superb -
- Raziye (1/5): Bad -
- Hikmet (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, new apart.
