Guest Reviews

• Caren (10/5): -
• Thomas (4/5): Zum Feiern top, zum Schlafen flop - Sauberkeit, gute Zimmergröße Sie ist mitten in einer Partystrasse und es war unfassbar laut bis ca. 3:30.
• Rabis Riaz (8/5): Unbeatable location but basic amenities - We stayed here with our two young children (a 5-year-old and a toddler) and had a very pleasant stay based primarily on the location. The hotel is right next to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Sultanahmet tram stop. You truly cannot beat this location for sightseeing! Our room was clean, and the hospitality was wonderful. We arrived for a very late check-in around 2:00 AM, and the lady at the front door was incredibly kind and welcoming, even though she didn't speak English. We did not notice street noise at night like other guests. However, families should note that the amenities are very basic. There is no elevator (which can be tough with heavy suitcases and strollers), and the room does not include a hot water kettle, coffee maker, microwave, iron, or complimentary water. No breakfast but so many restaurants right beside hotel. Also, keep in mind that they only accept physical payment cards (no contactless/phone payments).If you are looking for a clean, affordable, and perfectly central spot to explore Istanbul and don't mind the stairs, this is a great choice!
• Leonie (8/5): -
• Adriana (9/5): Gran relación calidad precio. Ubicación perfecta - Habitación limpia, con espacio y reformada. Baño muy bien. Inmejorable relación calidad-precio. Ubicación perfecta. Hay ruido en la calle de afuera y por la noche se escucha.
• Olga (10/5): Рекомендую! Все спадобалося! Çok teşekkür ederim! - Дуже зручне розташування! В нас був тримісний номер ми всі чудово розмістилися, було зручно! Зручні ліжка. Шикарна тераса! Ввічливий персонал. Чистота. Свіжі, не прокурені номери! Рушники - змінювали кожного дня! Ми не шукали недоліків - ми шукали позитив! Виключно як побажання для покращення: - додайте трохи більше гачків для рушників у ванній - хотілось би трохи «оживити» терасу- вона того вартує
• hadky (7/5): - Le personnel est gentil, c'est un rapport qualité/prix raisonnable. Un effort est à faire sur l'équipement qui n'est pas assez moderne.

• Velez (10/5): Estadía y lugar perfectos - Todooo muy bien...
• Veselin (10/5): - Добро местоположение. Отзивчив персонал. Комфортни стаи.
• Muriel (5/5): - The location is great if you just need somewhere to crash at night as it is very central to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Sultanahmet (walled city) area. The staff were helpful during the day when we were able to track someone down. The bathroom door doesn’t close properly so you constantly have to prop it open with your butt when using the sink, there is insufficient sink space, and just weird spacing in the room overall. The person on shift at nice did not speak English at all as she is Russian, I’m not sure whether she speaks Turkish but we had an issue with the AC and heaters in the room and we did not sleep at all the first night because it was too warm. They will give you an AC remote and other things (bag weight machine) upon request but they should offer this upfront in my opinion.

• Orhan (10/5): -
• Cosmin (10/5): -
• Alessia (8/5): -
• Giancarlo (9/5): - Staff e posizione A volte cattivo odore dal bagno per reflusso delle fogne (succede anche in grandi città) A volte da fuori si sente il rumore dei locali che mettono musica alta fino a tarda notte fortuna le finestre riducono un po' il rumore
• idrizi (10/5): - is so nice
• Galiya (10/5): -
• Léa (10/5): - Qualité /prix incroyable
• Elie (9/5): I recommend staying there - The property is amazing, it is a family owned buisness, and I’m all for supporting family businesses. The staff are the family members and they are amazing. They helped us in so many ways. The property is neat, well organized, and has everything you need. The only thing that i have comments on is the noise, if you take a room facing the streets, u will be hearing the noise, BUT they will tell you about this, however we decided to take the room with a view to the streets . They are completely honest. They can improve of course, but to improve their services they need ur support. Also they don’t provide shower gels and tooth brush so make sure u bring with you. They do provide soap and shampoos
• ممدوح (8/5): كنا مرتاحين فيه بس لو يهتمون شويه بالنقاط الي كتبتها راح يكون ممتاز لنا كاسعودين - الموقع كان جدا ممتاز و أمان و أصاحب الفندق جدااا ممتازين الحمام مافيه شطاف ولا هوايه ولا يوجد اصنصير
• Rakib (10/5): -
• Anaïta (10/5): -
• Hilbert (8/5): Prima prijs-kwaliteits verhouding en gunstige ligging. - Het hotel staat in een toeristische straat met vooral veel eetgelegenheden en ook winkeltjes waaronder die met drink- en etenswaar. Het ligt op loopafstand van de Hagia Sofia en ook de Bosporus is niet ver. Daar tussenin ligt een groot park waar je rust en schaduw kunt vinden, en een groot metrostation waarmee je ondermeer aan de Aziatische kant kunt komen. Ook een tram naar het centrum komt daar langs. Op het ventilatiekanaal van de douche na zag alles er schoon uit. De wc heeft een kraantje dat vlak onder de bril uitkomt zodat je naast wc papier ook water voor het afvegen kunt gebruiken. De beschrijving op de site van het hotel klopt niet. Ontbijt is niet inbegrepen en ook niet te krijgen, de minibar is leeg en losgekoppeld, en een laptopsafe is er niet. Er is ook geen lift. Omstreeks 05:30 uur wordt Allah bezongen vanuit luidsprekers op de moskee en opnieuw 's avonds. Regelmatig rijden touringcars of busjes vlak onder het raam door dat je beter gesloten kan houden als je rust zoekt. De ventilatie is passief maar toereikend.
• Nikola (9/5): - Very very friendly staff, insanely comfortable bed, warm apartment at all times and an absolutely amazing view from the rooftop! Very narrow shower and a lot of street noise one morning...
• Mariuk (10/5): Ne-am simțit foarte bine - Ne-a plăcut tot, am reveni cu drag. Zona este foarte bună -
• Kanita (9/5): -
• Zueva (10/5): Zentrumsnah und in Sicherheit. - Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal.
• Xavi (8/5): Céntrico para visitar la zona de Sultanhamed - Alojamiento super centrico a escasos 5min del palacio y de la Santa Sofia. Esta ubicado en una calle de muchos restaurantes pero a las 23h ya esta todo tranquilo. Habitacion grande con lo necessario para passar 3-4 noches. Te cambian las toallas cada 2 días sin que lo pidas. Si te toca el 3r piso (sin asensor) se escucha el ruido molesto de alguna maquina instalada en la terraza del hotel. Si llueves se escucha como si tuvieras encima una cañeria de agua y si hace viento se mueven los muebles de la terraza y es bastante molesto por la noche. Aconsejo pedir segundo piso.
• EKATERINA (10/5): -
• Mándoki (8/5): Kellemes volt, ar ertek alapjan ajanlom. Ha valaki fenszi erzesre vagyik, akkor viszont masik szallast nezzen. - A frekventációja kiválló, kenyelmes agy, tiszta agynemu. A furdoszoba tisztasagan lenne mit csiszolni, mintha nem ismernek a vizkooldot :/
• abdullah (6/5): -
• Emirhan (3/5): -
• Apfel (7/5): Sehr gute Lage, man kam überall leicht hin, jedoch könnte die Ausstattung etwas mehr gepflegt werden - Die Lage war hervoragend. Gerade neben den Weltbekannten Moscheen. Die Betten waren gemütlich und die Deko allgemein sehr passend zu Istanbul. Der Abguss der Dusche war leicht verstopft und als wir länger duschten hat sie die Dusche überfüllt. Ein Zimmer mit "Seesicht" ist einfach vorne am Gebäude und dort war es auch Abends ziemlich laut.
• fouzi (8/5): - All Nothing
• Kontic (10/5): -
• Marika (8/5): COMODO MA ESSENZIALE - La camera aveva un'atmosfera calda e accogliente. L'effetto marmo e la luce dietro allo specchio conferiva un'aspetto lussuoso al bagno, pulito ma un po' piccolo. Materasso molto comodo. Molto vicino ai punti principali di Sultanahmet (2/3 minuti a piedi dalla Moschea di Santa Sofia). Il proprietario molto gentile e disponibile, parla inglese base. Mancava il servizio colazione e la struttura è priva di ascensore (le scale sono anche molto strette). La struttura si trova in un vicolo molto vivace e il locale sotto la stanza spegneva la musica molto tardi. Nella struttura aleggiava sempre un forte odore di fumo di sigaretta.
• HAJEONG (1/5): Why don't you keep your refund promise? - There are no blankets, used towels left unattended, sinks are leaking, refrigerators are filthy, ports are moldy, receptionists are not there, and the older woman who ushered me through doesn't know the words in English. I was promised a refund by showing the condition of the room and using a translator, but they haven't kept. (eventhougt Booking.Com's call and email) I'd like to report to the government agency in charge of accommodation and hygiene in Istanbul.
• Aleyda (9/5): -
• glenda (6/5): Comodo per un paio di giorni - La posizione è centralissima nel quartiere di Sultanahmet e tutti i punti di interesse lí attorno sono facilmente raggiungibili a piedi. La struttura non dispone di ascensore e se avrete una camera al terzo piano non sarà semplicissimo salire con le valigie (gli host ci hanno aiutato all'arrivo), le camere come spesso accade sono più piccole rispetto alle fotografie, il piumino (tipico turco) non è quello a cui siamo abituati noi europei: è più piccolo (sono stati gentili peró e ce ne hanno fornito uno standard). Il bagno non era perfettamente pulito. Durante la notte c'erano perennemente rumori forti (persone, urla...).
• Bart (8/5): Very convenient, I will be back, possibly with more people. We will go and buy peaches on arrival. - Proximity of top Istanbul's attractions, the energy of the street the hotel is at. local shop owner charging me zillion of liras for 2 peaches on the arrival, I went to him to say that he would not be doing this to thirsty Hoja Nassreddin if he arrived to this street. He was apologetic and although I possibly did not change his greed, I at least made him think if it is worth it to rob the tourist every time or get them coming back... Logic (I hope at least he went to read his culture's masterpiece: Adventures of Hodja Nassreddin)

• LÁISA (7/5): Vale a pena em razão do custo benefício. - A localização é perfeita. Economizamos dinheiro com transporte e tempo já que dá pra ir a pé para visitar os pontos turísticos mais famosos. Tem um mercado em frente que dá pra comprar coisas mais em conta Não tem elevador. Os bares ao redor são acima do preço de mercado.
• Sara (4/5): Qualità prezzo non ok - Posizione centrale ottimo per visitare le principali attrazioni Camera al di sotto delle aspettative, lavandino otturato, doccia sporca e otturata, cesso sporco. Rumore proveniente dalla strada poiché pieno di locali. Non consigliamo di alloggiare qui anche se il prezzo è ottimo, non ci torneremmo.
• Jorge (8/5): - La ubicación Que no hubiera desayuno
• Murat (1/5): Kesinlikle gitmeyin! Hayal kirikligi. Temiz degil! - Giris sorunsuz Personal kibar neseli ve anlayisli kayit yaparken. Yatakta bir seyler tarafindan isirildik! Kesinlikle gitmeyin! Bu tarz seylere dikkat etmeyen bir yere gidip tatilinizi ziyan etmeyin!!! Odada bir önce ki müsteriden havlu unutulmus kapinin arkasinda. Dus sorunlu, dus hortumunu asacak yer yok, sabun vb koyacak yok. Terlik birakilmamis. Bir tane aski var dolapta. Ana Isiklar dalgalaniyor. Disaridan sürekli müzik sesi geliyor. Bu kadar cok negatiflik olunca ne yazik ki sadece 1 yildiz. Iyi ki bir gece kalmisiz.
• mechakra (6/5): -
• Aliona (9/5): - Great value for the money + great location. The stuff was mega friendly. My partner struggled to find the toilet paper
• Melanie (8/5): - Die Lage war perfekt, jede Menge Lokale vor der Türe (dadurch auch laut in der Nacht) man ist mittendrin im Trouble. Hagia Sophia 5 min zu Fuss. Dachterrasse mit Blick auf Hagia und Bosporus. Bequemes Bett, schöne Einrichtung. Kleines aber sehr feines Zimmer. Leider gab es Schimmel an der Decke, ansonsten alles sauber.
• chantal (6/5): - Très bien situé Rue bien animée le soir, donc un peu bruyant durant la nuit
• Lily (8/5): -
• Mia (10/5): - Everything was great, just the neighborhood was a bit noisy.
• Mojtaba (3/5): -
• Sergei (8/5): - Местоположение. Все основные достопримечательности - 5 минут пешком. На крыше - замечательная терраса со столиками и хорошими видами. - С карточки сняли 30 долларов, а оставшиеся 100 попросили наличными. Типа с карточки снять не могут - сломалось что-то. :) - В номере не было чайника и кружек, хотя должны были быть. - Холодильник не работал. Предложили положить продукты в их холодильник. - В описании - вид на город. По факту - вид на крошечный захламлённый внутренний двор - колодец. С кучей коммуникаций. Часто включалась какая-то система, и одна из труб резонировала на низкой частоте так, что всё внутри дорожало. - В душе нет ни одной полки, ни одного крючка. Ни мыло, ни шампунь никуда не положишь, ни одежду или полотенце никуда не повесишь.

• Georgina (7/5): Un emplacement pratique et une chambre qui fait l’affaire ! - L’emplacement
• Liesa (10/5): -
• Sanita (9/5): -
• Nazrul (10/5): Close to everything to you see - Very nice place to stay and reasonable price
• Sameerah (8/5): Comfortable and convenient - Very good location. Good size room for 2 people, plenty of room to move around. Clean and comfortable. No reception staff and no one available when needed. Although there was someone to help whenever needed we had to wait or find someone
• Charles (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and modern rooms with a beautiful view from the rooftop terrace.
• Ester (8/5): Comfortable stay and good value. - The family that owns the property is super hospitable, and always doing what they can to make you feel at home. They give you sound advice about traveling around, and are so generous to always offer you some tea from their shop next-door. The air conditioner worked great, the water pressure was adequate and the water temperature was nice and warm. There is no elevator so you will have to walk upstairs. Also just downstairs if you’re facing the street is a restaurant/bar and at night they can be a little loud, so we just used a white noise app and were able to sleep fine without hearing them. Very convenient to all the popular tourist areas to see. The metro was also nearby and we used it the whole time. Always felt safe in the area, even coming home later. I think some of the rooms may allow smoking, and you could smell cigarettes in the hallway sometimes.
• Helena (9/5): Well located, clean and noisy - Well located and clean. Can be a little noisy because the rooms are busy area with the bars and restaurants.
• Angelica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paolo (5/5): The "one" star hotel - Quite clean, close to Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque. Shower is big and has a good water pressure. beside for the check-in with a person that didn't speak english, never saw any staff at any time of day or night - not even for the check-out that we did on our own. There was no one to attend the counter and ask for information. Street is extremely loud early in the morning and late night and the bed is discomfortable. Towels were never changed in 4 nights of stay (and no one to ask for it) and the cleaning staff decided to spread over a table to dry since all hangings are broken in the bathroom.
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location and friendly staff. They were always happy to help whenever we needed anything There was no shelf in the bathtub for shower gel or soap, but it was such a minor issue. I believe they have already fixed it.
• Oriol (10/5): Good option - The room is beautiful and comfortable. The staff is really friendly, very recommended
• Tania (7/5): great value for money - the owner was great very kind and chilled, the location was fab right in the heart of sultanahmet very close walk to blue mosque and hagia sophia, and loads of restaurants around and it was super clean and bathroom was nice stayed on the third floor and there was no lift, the bed was super uncomfortable my partner did not sleep for most of the stay and the shops outside were way too much and caused so much hassle walking past them everyday
• Zdravko (10/5): Charming Hotel in the heart of Istanbul - Hotel location in sultanahmet district ,one minute to Aja Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace and etc. Very cozy,clean , comfortable with great , friendly stuff. Price is more than acceptable,if you compare with what you get. I would recommend definitely to everyone, especially ones that likes to have all of touristics attractions near accomodation. Everything was perfect
• Mohd (9/5): Superb -
• Marina (2/5): Very poor - Veoma lose. Veoma lose.
• Pin-yu (10/5): 100 score place to stay in Istanbul - The room seems just re-decorated, very new, super clean and quiet, staff are so kind, friendly and helpful, English are fluent, no barriers for communication. The location can walked to SultanAmet, Hogia Sofia Mosque, Yerebatan, police man everywhere, safe and convenient! The restaurant under the hotel have nice hookah and Turkish tea, and the next door there's one shop sell some beautiful and high quality carpet and coffee tea pod. No
• Hristina (8/5): A well-located hotel with friendly staff, ideal for those looking to stay in the heart of Istanbul’s vibrant atmosphere - The hotel is in a fantastic location, close to many attractions, making it easy to explore Istanbul. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The room was quite small, which made it feel a bit cramped. Also, there was a lot of noise at night from the busy street with many restaurants and bars nearby, which may be expected in such a lively area.
• Vladimir (8/5): Very good - One of the main advantages of this hotel is its location. It is in the centre of the old town, 5 minutes walk from the main attractions. Another advantage is the people who run the hotel: friendly and always ready to help. It is a good place to stay and relax. This is a four-storey building with no elevator and steep steps. It was ok for me, but can be unsuitable for some people.
• Olga2701 (9/5): Superb - Great location, couple of minutes walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi. Tram stop is also nearby. The room was good - small but very cozy, comfortable bed, blackout curtains, fridge. Also, the hotel has a roof terrace with an access for anyone staying in the hotel. It was nice to take some food takeaway and enjoy the dinner with the great view. The staff was nice and spoke English very well. Very pleasant stay.
• Noor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dehbozorgi (6/5): Pleasant -
• Jana (9/5): Superb - Very friendly staff Clean Great location
• Mikhail (10/5): Exceptional -
• Samir (9/5): Superb - The location is great. The stuff were kind. Too bad they don't serve breakfast anymore.
• Anna (8/5): Very good -
• Alvin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Raquel (8/5): It is ok for a couple of nights - The overall experience was ok. The staff is the best part, they are nice and ready to help always. The location is perfect for visiting the main tourist places. If you can’t sleep with airconditioning on avoid this place it is very hot in the building and sleeping with the windows open is imposible. It is very noisy at night since there is a pub right next to the hotel that plays music until 3 am, a lot of taxis passing by and the calling for prayers very early in the morning.
• Crista (10/5): Exceptional -
• Crista (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dzhansel (10/5): Exceptional - The location is amazing, all the people working in the hotel are so kind, they are always ready to help you. I recommend it with both hands.
• Karl (8/5): Very good -
• Jelena (10/5): Great location, excellent service, clean & comfortable -
• Asmat (1/5): Don’t like . Unnneccessary expensive - Nothing special . Bad smell . Rooms not good . No facilities.
