Guest Reviews
- Mohammed kareem (3/5): الفندق جيد لقضاء ليلة واحدة فقط عند الضرورة او في حال اراد الشخص الاستفادة من الموقع، غير ذلك انا لا انصح به ولن اعيد زي - الموقع ممتاز وفريق العمل مضياف على الرغم من عدم وجود مكتب للاستقبال حيث انك تستلم مفتاح الغرفة من المطعم للاسف لا يوجد مصعد والدرج عالي جداً
عند استلمت الغرفة دون ازالة نفايات الحمام
السرر غير نظيفةً بشكل تشجعك على النوم
المكيف توجد به ماكينة ملحقة به كل نص ساعة تصدر صوت يستمر ما بين دقيقة الى خمس وعلى الرغم من شكواي فان فريق العمل لم يرسل احداً لصيانتها بمجرد معرفته بأن الصوت اختفى
لا يوجد عاملة نظافة للغرف حيث انه طوال فترة الاقامة لم تنظف الغرفة الا مرة واحدة وبعد الشكوى بعدم تنظيفها علماً انني كنت اعلق ورقة طلب التنظيف على الباب
الانترنت سيء
البراد يعمل ولكن لا يبرد
التواصل مع فريق العمل ليلاً دون جدوى حيث انه عندما حدثت مشكلة المكيف لاول مرة اتصلت على الرقم الذي تم تزويدي به ولكن دون مجيب
- MUAID (10/5): - العرف واسعه المكان نظيف وجميل شكرا لكم علي حسن الاستقبال
- Axelle (7/5): Bien - Le lit est confortable. L'accueil agréable. Il y a la possibilité de manger sur place car il y a un restaurant juste au-dessous (attention au bruit le soir). L'établissement est très bien placé, possibilité de visiter Sultanahmet à pieds, il y a le tram et le métro (Sirkeçi) très proche. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Attention, ce n'était pas un point négatif pour moi (car il y a beaucoup de solutions aux alentours!!). Mais cela pourrait l'être pour d'autres personnes: le petit-déjeuner est servis tard (de 10H à 12H) et le service n'est pas à l'heure. Le premier jour, j'ai attendu 10 min devant l'établissement qui était encore fermé et sans lumière à 10H. Puis je suis partis vers la mosquée neuve pour prendre un petit-déjeuner (un mal pour un bien car il était délicieux). Si vous ne voulez pas perdre de temps le matin, prévoyez une bonne adresse pas loin.
- Haris (9/5): - Location is great. Staff great.
- ABDÜLBASİR (4/5): -
- Savenko (10/5): We had a wonderful stay and would gladly return in the future. - The hotel has an excellent location in the heart of the city, within walking distance to many major attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. The staff was very welcoming, friendly, and always willing to help. The atmosphere felt warm and comfortable, and the room was clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our stay and felt very safe and taken care of throughout the trip. We did not experience any major issues during our stay.
- Alexandre (9/5): -
- MUAID (10/5): - قريب من الخدمات من المطاعم الغرفه كانت أوسع من باقي الفنادق كل شي ممتاز
- Saniya (4/5): Если вы стоите перед выбором отеля без завтрака или этим отелем, то выбирайте без завтрака - Уборка в номере была отличная То что завтраки подавались с 10:30, а то и с 11:00. Приходилось очень надолго задерживаться из за этого в номере
- Aleksandra (9/5): -
- Belfadel (10/5): -
- Nadža (10/5): - Prosječan hotel u Istanbulu. Diručak
- Zsuzsanna (7/5): Elfogadható - Remek helyen, minden elérhető gyalog, vagy akár villamossal.
Kedves és figyelmes emberek.
Modern berendezés, kényelmes ágy és székek.
Még esernyő is volt kikészítve. Házipapucs is volt. A sampon jó volt.
Biztonságos. A szellőzőrendszer zúgása zavaró volt, még késő este is, a fal is remegett.
A wifi nem mindig működött.
A reggeli kiszolgálása és választék elég gyenge, 1x ehető. Nem volt reggeli étlap, választék, hoztak valamit, de minden nap ugyanazt.
A cicák kedvesek, de zavaróak az étteremben.
Az étterem tisztasága reggel nem megfelelő. A terasz nagy, de nem tiszta.
A szemeteskukák lábbal nyitható részei töröttek.Villanykapcsolók fordítva működnek, illetve nincs mind bekötve.
Légkondi/fűtés nem működött.
Jól záródó teraszajtók.
- Sebastien (1/5): - J’ai envoyé plusieurs mails, jamais eu de réponses.
C’est scandaleux
- Anna (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. very friendly staff
- SILKE (2/5): Hotel nicht buchen! Kein 2. Mal! - Lage war gut!!! Dreckige und kaputte Bettwäsche, Gestank aus den Abflüssen, braunes Wasser aus Waschbecken und Toilette. Musik im Restaurant bis weit über 24 Uhr
Beschwerden wurden ignoriert und Mängel wurden nicht behoben!
- Bachir (10/5): - الفندق لطيف جدا وفيه كل المستلزمات
الفطور كافي لبدايه يوم طويل في استنبول
الموقع ممتاز جدا...جداا..جداا.
قريب على كل الاماكن السياحه ..
هناك محطه ترام وقطار بالقرب ايضا القليل من الضجيج في اللليل لان الشارع حيوي جدا
- Youssef (1/5): A fuir cet établissement absolument, pas propre, le propriétaire a annulé notre séjour nous nous sommes retrouvee dehors - Rien À FUIR !!!!! un calvaire… petit déjeuner, que dis-je…. l’assiette avec deux morceaux de concombres, un morceau de fromage et des olives, servie après 10h. Sachant que nous sommes arrivé en bas pour le petit déjeuner, le restaurateur a souhaité qu’on attendent dehors dans le froid… de plus la chambre et très petite, la douche est moisi avec des odeurs d’égouts. Le chauffage marche très peu voir pas du tout, sachant qu’il m’éteigne avec le service de chambre. Nous avons donc demandé un remboursement qu’il nous a refusé. il voulait annuler la réservation sans nous rembourser, nous avons donc continué notre séjour étant à la rue…
- Ilija (10/5): - The best stuff from any hotel ever, they were super helpful and kind to us. Location is great and value for money is excellent.

- Ramazan (5/5): Katastrophe - Nur Lage ist gut Der Unterkunft ist nicht für Familien geeignet. Der Unterkunft hat nur 5 Zimmer , Tag ist Zimmer leer Nacht kommt Pärchen zum tollen Zeit erleben , offenes Frühstück gibt es garnicht, Personal kommt erst zwischen 11-12 Uhr wenn sie Frühstück essen wollen müssen Sie warten bekommen sie klein Teller Oliven Käse Tomate Gurken und Tee.
Hat mir garnicht gefallen der Unterkunft hat kein Reinigungskraft Personal zum saubermachen, überall Haare Boden wc etc.
- Qudsiyyah (8/5): -
- Johannie (9/5): - Emplacement idéale,proche de tout sites touristiques
(-10 minutes).
Grand balcon pour la chambre triple.
Petit déjeuner servi à l’assiette,bien copieux.
Le personnels très gentils. L’hygiène reste à revoir +++
Nous avons du faire nous même le ménage
Les draps ne sont pas changés durant le séjour.
- Marija (10/5): -
- Diego (5/5): - Posizione Odore della stanza e poco pulita
- Abdulrahman (4/5): ليس هوتيل ، هو باب جانبي يودي للمطعم يودي فوق ، الاستقبال هو نفسه استقبال المطعم - اعجبني تعامل طاقم العمل اخلاقهم حلوه المكان لي فندق ولا هوتيل ولا شي ، هي تكون غرف فوق مطعم وفي الغالب انها الغرف تبع الموظفين بس مأجرين الغرف ، يعيبها ايضاً الازعاج لان المطعم يشغل اغاني وشيشه لين الساعه 2 الليل ، ف النوم بيكون غير مريح الا لين يقفلون المطعم والاغاني
- Mariia, Georgii, Timur, Kirill (4/5): -
- Andrea (5/5): SkyLife ma piedi per terra - Posizione strategica molto vicino a tutte le attrazioni più importanti della città e ad uno snodo della metropolitana molto ben collegato.
Personale cordiale e sempre disponibile. La struttura offre una colazione sicuramente tipica ma non paragonabile agli standard di scelta e quantità europei inoltre consigliamo di rivalutare la fascia oraria in cui viene servita.
Camere fatiscenti e seppure le stanze venissero regolarmente sistemate la pulizia generale e’ sicuramente migliorabile.
- Luca (8/5): -
- XIN (7/5): 一般,勉强过夜 - 位置靠近市区 我们预定的是一间3人间(因为预定时网站显示双人间已售完),但实际入住时给我们安排了一个双人间,并且服务员没有给任何解释。第二天一早我询问为何没有给我们原定的三人间,服务员刚开始声称三人间在我入住时已经满房了。然后当我问道少一张床的时候,服务员又说三人间现在也只有一张大床,没有他们图片里宣传的那张小床。虽然服务员表示了抱歉,但是双人间比三人间便宜了不少钱,最后也没有返还给我们这些差价。而且我认为如果的确是三人间没有了,应该在入住之前和我们协商是否愿意入住双人间,而不是等着顾客自己发现后才表示抱歉,并不返还退款。而且房间卫生很差,厕所有很严重的臭味。

- Detlev (7/5): Nice location for exploring central Istanbul. - Central old town location but still pretty quiet overall. Breakfast only served after 10 a.m. Half open shower stalls.

- Lavinia (7/5): Good location but so as many around. I wouldn’t return. - The best thing is the location, very close to the main attractions. Also, the food is good. - wi-fi not functional ( mentioned it to the personnel, no positive result)
- TV not functional (mentioned to the personnel but didn’t bother to much to resolve the issue or to see what was the problem).
- hot water was not even warm, but cold in the late evening.
- you have to ask about the restaurant discount included in the booking offer, as he tends to forgot about it.
- personal doesn’t have the genuine hospitality.
- cleaning issues.
- Ahmet (9/5): -
- Elena (10/5): Punto di riferimento nel cuore di Istanbul - Mi è piaciuto tutto!! Dall'accoglienza ai sorrisi di tutto il personale che mi ha fatta sentire speciale e di casa. Struttura pulitissima. Pieno centro vicino alla piazza di Sulthanamet, in mezzo a tanti ristoranti, negozi di souvenir e minimarket. A due passi dall'ingresso del parco di Gülhane. Non mi è mancato nulla. Gli sconti per i clienti dell'albergo al ristorante sono reali e convenienti. Colazione turca perfetta. Ci sono tornata più volte e ci tornerò sicuramente! Un punto di riferimento a Istanbul. Wifi eccellente. Come in molti alberghi del centro storico, manca l'ascensore ma per me non è stato un problema.
- Viki (10/5): - Nagyon kedvesek, segítőkészek voltak. Nem volt nagyon tiszta sajnos a szállás illetve kényelmetlen volt az ágy és rövid is a matrac lelógott a lábunk az ágyról.
- madalina (10/5): -
- Helena (8/5): - Super lokacija. Gostitelji prijazni in vedno nasmejani. So pa to sobe nad gostilno v starem delu mesta. Kogar moti hrup in svetloba, to ni zanj. Ko zapreš okno, se ne sliši skoraj nič.
- Ceylan (5/5): -
- sara (10/5): El año que viene repito seguro!😍😍😍 - No tengo palabras para describir lo bien que me he sentido durante mi estancia. Yakup, Baran y toda su familia son personas encantadoras, siempre dispuestas a ayudar y con una sonrisa. Se nota que ponen el corazón en lo que hacen. El hotel está impecable, las habitaciones son muy cómodas y el ambiente es familiar y acogedor. Me fui con la sensación de dejar amigos. Lo mejor de todo es que el hotel está en una zona céntrica y lo tienes todo a 5 minuto! ¡Mil gracias por todo! El año que viene volver Inchallah!😊 Que al ser una zona turística los vendedores de las tiendas se aprovechan y suben muchísimo los precios
- Aran (8/5): -
- Martin (8/5): -
- Tetyana (10/5): Персонал дружелюбный, на любые просьбы всегда реагируют положительно) - Расположение 🔥 в самом центре в шаговой доступности от всех главных достопримечательностей: Топ Капы, Айя София, Голубая мечеть, египетский базар, порт
Транспорт - остановка трамвая котопыйвас перевезут на азиатскую сторону Стамбула в 100 от отеля! Крутая лестница нет лифта!
- János (9/5): Összeségében jó volt csak alkalmazkodni kellett. - Az elhelyezkedése ,a szállásadók kedvessege. A reggeliztetés nagyon nehezen ment, 10:00-tol volt reggeli mi már akkor ott voltunk és minden reggel kb 20 percet kellet várnunk.
- ABDULILAH (10/5): -
- Eni (10/5): - Es war alles top. Essen ist sehr gut. Sehr nettes Personal .
- Walter A. (10/5): Maravillosa estadía en Hotelito acogedor con linda gente y en perfecta ubicacion - Me encantó todo. Hotel con excelente ubicación a 100 m del Tram y 400 metros de Hagia Sofia y el lindo Parque Gulhane con entrada a 150 m del Hotel. Ademas el Hotel está en una linda calle con excelente ambiente de tiendas y restaurantes abiertos hasta medianoche, bonitas luces y decoraciones. Gente muy amable, deliciosa comida, muy buenos precios
- Lisa (10/5): Don't hesitate to book, hidden gem - Location was amazing, walking distance to all the main attractions, Blue Mosque, Bosphorus, Topkapi Palace etc. So many choices to eat and shop nearby. Breakfast was included in the restaurant below.
Staff were all friendly and very responsive. Great value for money The design of the shower means you end up with a rather soggy floor, but the staff were happy to provide fresh towels after we mopped up.
- Patricia (9/5): superb - yoyul internetul nu prea functiona
- Bedirhan (1/5): -
- Janina Aust (8/5): -
- Ferhat Alperen (9/5): Gute Unterkunft - Alles war wie beschrieben. Waren zufrieden
- Patrik (4/5): Slightly disappointed. - The location is good, nearly the city center. The most of the guys from the restaurant were friendly. :) • About the location, the street itself is very lively in the evening/ night time, so the outside of the hotel is very loud.
• The room is not that new as photos shows, but everything works well instead of shower, idk who designed it but open space shower? Like wtf?
• We recieved fresh towels almost every day but the housekeepers never replenish our room with a toilet paper and shower gel, everyday we must asked for that.
• Breakfast was everyday the same, is not a bufet but you’ll recieve a plate with some cheese, salami, olives, mini burek, few slices of tomato and cucumber, mini butter, honey, cocoa spread and basket of bread, for the drink you can select coffee, tea, juice, lemonade and water, five days in a row is the same bfast kinda monotone.
- Mohammed (10/5): جميله - قربه من الأمكان السياحية ايضاً كان تعامل الأخ بهاران وإسلام ويعقوب وحدة على ماضن اسمه أيشوا كان التعامل لطيف وخاصا بهاران والإفطار جيد ايضاً
- Maria (8/5): - La ubicación excelente. Muy cerca del tranvia y de las proncipalea atracciones. Zona muy seguras, con mucho movimiento Muy amable los anfitriones. Sólo un detalle: la heladerita no enfriaba.
- Gonzalo (6/5): - La atención del personal que te recibía. Eran muy agradables y estaban siempre dispuestos a ayudar. Ubicación excelente. El ruido que había por las noches y el olor a humedad
- Peter (8/5): Perfecte locatie om de stad te verkennen - Perfecte locatie om de stad te verkennen; midden in het centrum en dicht bij de metro. Zeer vriendelijk personeel en zeer behulpzaam. Restaurant is ook prima!
- Iuliana (10/5): -
- ALICIA (6/5): Excelente ubicación pero instalaciones deterioradas - Ubicación muy buena para visitar Estambul. Personal amable Muy caro para las instalaciones antiguas.
El desayuno todos los días nos tardaba 1 hora en ser servido desde que nos sentábamos a la mesa.
No dispone de ascensor y debes cargar las maletas escaleras arriba.
Instalaciones descuidadas y antiguas.
- Sara (7/5): Agradable - La ubicación era ideal, zona de ocio pero tranquila, muy céntrico a 10 minutos andando de la zona de Santa Sofía y etc.
El personal amable y servicial, nos pusieron facilidades para que viniera a visitarnos una amistad. La limpieza era justa, las sábanas tenían manchas y el baño tenía el porta papeles roto y la ducha llena de cal.
El desayuno muy monótono y aburrido para un par de días está bien pero nosotros que fuimos 6 noches acabamos desayunando fuera pese a tenerlo incluido.
- Mariann (9/5): -

The food was excellent! We savored every bite.
Above all, we want to highlight one person who was truly special to us and who made our holiday even more beautiful and memorable.
Dear Baran, thank you for every moment of kindness, for your smile, for every rose (I’m definitely taking them with me 😊). Thank you for making our holiday unforgettable. Because of you, we feel like coming back again. You are a wonderful person, a truly special young man – stay just the way you are. Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for coming to say goodbye on our last day. We wish you all the very best in life.
We hope to see you again.
We wish you all the best and continued success in your work!
Until next time,

- Beatrix (10/5): Everything was perfect! - The accomodation is excellent value for money. Good location, clean room with balcony with a rich breakfast. The hosts were very kind and the restaurant was excellent. There was no such thing
- Neha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Haitham (10/5): Amazing location with amazing staff - Very welcoming and cooperative Staff. The location is amazing in the old city near all historical attractions. Weak Wifi, but they promised to solve as I commented after check out
- Mattie (10/5): Exceptional - The staff here are incredible, we felt right at home & it’s in a great location very close to everything we wanted to see/do.
- Kakhaberi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sai (10/5): Good food, location and warm host - The location Had only stairs to go up
- David (10/5): Nice spot to explore Istanbul - The location is great, practically on the wall of Constantinople, two blocks from the tram, at walking distance from Sultanhamet and Hagia Sofia. It has great options for food and drink, and is safe in late night. Yakub and team are great hosts, always attentive and in a merry mood. Everything was fine.
- Guilherme (5/5): Passable - We trusted the good reviews and booked this hotel. If you don’t mind mouldy bathroom, un functional shower and dirty/ stained towels and bedding then this is the place for you. Also, as it’s on top of their restaurant, it’s very noisy at night as they are open until midnight.
Not to count that the breakfast is served from 10am. And even at 10am things were not ready and we had to wait over 20 mins for it to be served. On a touristic place like this, you’d think to wake up nice and early to explore, but no you paid for breakfast and you need to wait. Breakfast is also not worth it, very basic and you can’t choose, they serve you a plate ready made in the kitchen.
The good thing about this place is the location, walking distance from main city centre, with lots of shops and restaurants options.
The food served at the restaurant is also quite nice, with guests at the hotel having 20% off. The guy at reception/restaurant is also very nice and friendly.
- Marin (10/5): Recommend - Perfect match & price
- Mariia (6/5): The room wasn’t so nice, it feels more like hostel. But I really appreciate the attitude of the stuff. I had also breakf - Very polite and friendly stuff. It’s not far from the most popular locations Sheets with holes and a smell in the bathroom.
- Ognjen (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff, very clean, delicious food at the restaurant. Every recommendation!
- Fatima-zohra (5/5): Passable -
