- Olena (5/5): Нормально… - Все достопримечательности рядом и море тоже… Под крышей жарко уже в первых числах мая, санузел 😳🤷🏼♀️
- Guest (8/5): -
- Stefania (8/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Colazione da migliorare - Posizione Odore cattivo all’ingresso. Proveniente dall esterno
- Ludmila (10/5): Уютный номер с отоплением, что было актуально при 2-х дневном сильном дожде. Чистота. - Хорошее расположение- в шаговой доступности кафк, рестораны, магазины и совсем недалеко площадь Султанахмет. Хороший завтрак. Дружелюбный персонал, у которого мы могли получить различную информацию о Стамбуле. Такого нет.
- Annamária (10/5): - Nagyon közel van minden nevezetességhez. Mindenki nagyon kedves és segítőkész volt. Finom, bőséges reggeli.
- Rymaruk (10/5): -
- Elvira (8/5): -
- Ahmed (9/5): - Très bonnes expérience que de loger dans cet hôtel, certes les chambres peuvent.etre petites
mais cet inconvénient est compensé par.me.confort ,la sympathie du personnel aussi.bien.du staff que.des femmes de ménages ( très sympa ,agréable). Le lieu est vraiment top ,quartier populaire mais propre, tout est à cotés Restau pas cher ,métro qq minutes de marche, magasins ,grand Bazar, Belle mosquée et monuments, je recommande vivement et je manquerai pas de revenir.merci Comme je l'ai mentionné plus haut ,certaines chambres ne.sont pas spacieuses mais suivant le nombres de personnes, vois choisirez une plus grande .à.preciser.

- Kristina (9/5): - Очень понравилось расположение - в пешей доступности от основных достопримечательностей и туристических маршрутов, но в то же время очень тихая и уютная улочка, рядом с морем! Питания не было, но рядом был ресторанчик от отеля со скидкой, там очень вкусно!
- Lucia (10/5): Alojamiento 10/10 - Todo excelente! El personal amable, habitaciones limpias (cambian las toallas todos los días), ubicación céntrica en el casco antiguo, cerca de todo.

- MARCELLO (9/5): -
- Kerstin (8/5): Gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis - - Lage ist sehr gut
- Personal (Office) ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit - Wir reisten am letzten Tag schon sehr früh ab und konnten deswegen nicht mehr frühstücken, haben aber extra Sandwiches für unsere Reise bekommen
- Top Preis- Leistungs Verhältnis :)
- Optisch ansprechende Zimmer - Handtücher hatten Flecken, Zimmer waren nicht super sauber
- Frühstück ist gut, jedoch nicht ausreichend wenn man gut frühstücken möchte, da kein Buffet- man muss auch einiges selbst bezahlen (zb Getränke)
- Andre (10/5): Excellent value - Clean and convenient position for restaurants and visiting old city attractions. Lovely staff who were very helpful.
- Alberto (10/5): Ottimo hotel, vicino ai principali luoghi di interesse turistico. Quartiere tranquillo, personale super gentile, in part - Posizione, tranquillità, pulizia e gentilezza dello staff
- Ruslan (5/5): - If you want to book this room, be aware, because the picture of this room was made on third floor with a window. But if it’s busy, they give you a room on zero or first floor and your view will be on the wall with air conditioners, it’s dark and doesn’t have fresh air!!!
- Sidra (10/5): Great visit - Spacious room for the price and the location was amazing. Walking distance from blue mosque and sultanahmet we stayed here for the second time.
- Saman (7/5): - Okej
- Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yelfri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nagar (6/5): Pleasant - The location was perfect. Walking distance to many attractions and many lovely restaurants around the area. The hotel did not clean the room very well. It felt like they were not interested in cleaning the room. Just did the bare minimum
- Marek (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly approach of personnel. Very good location, clean room and bathroom.
We got an upgrade of the room free of charge.
- Stela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kayani (8/5): Very good - The location was perfect, nestled near two parks and 10-12 minutes walk from the major attractions. The staff were lovely aswell
- Christine (8/5): Great value and location! - Amazing location. Short walk to the Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia. Nice quiet area. The food at the restaurant was good. The aircon worked really well. Good water pressure in the shower. The room had a fridge, iron, and ironing board. The room was a little smaller than the pictures. The bathroom was a little worn out.
- Giorgi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fahro (8/5): Very good - To far from city
- Elzofri (9/5): Amazing close to everything bed comfortable cleaned 3 times in our stay - So close to everything you could walk anywhere Nothing
- Στέργιος (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sabrina (7/5): Good - The location was great, close to most of the attractions and tourist sites. It was easy to walk around and close to public transport. There’s lots of restaurants nearby (very touristy and quite expensive) but also convenient when you want to grab something to eat. I was there during the recent earthquake and one of the members of staff was so helpful in trying to organise me transport out and was very kind. They also accommodated me into a new room when my travel plans changed last minute. The rooms were decently sized and appropriate for the price but I felt like it could have been a little cleaner. The bed was really hard and pillows uncomfortable. The sheets looked old and worn and weren’t 100% clean
- Marina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shaz (4/5): Disappointing - It was close to old town Room had damp, ceiling was like one for the corner is going to fall with all the damp and fungus with cracks in the ceiling. During rain it leaked in the bath room. It was so wet that water came down like there was a tap fitted in the ceiling.
When informed I was told yeah it happens when rains.
- Eva (7/5): Good - The staff was very kindly and the chang us the room because the neighbours were quit loud.
there are a little terrace in the top flor with viwe to the city. The rooms very clean but small, the bathroom was too small.
The rooms have not view and antother building just in front.
- José (7/5): Nice location, some minor things can be improved - Close to many atractions in the old city, the personal was helpful The bed wasnt soft, we could hear everything happening around the house, the photos aparent a bigger room than what really was.
- Raimbek (10/5): Nice hotel - Nice hotel. Very polite and generous staff
- Artsiom (9/5): Superb -
- Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
- Lozano (1/5): Bad - Missing my jewelry!!!!!
- Amanda (8/5): Very good -
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional - This place is perfectly.
- Elada (3/5): If you want to hear what everyone else in the building is doing, choose this option - Bed was comfortable & in close proximity to all the tourist attractions Could hear everyone from rooms above and next door. Could hear them coughing, talking and even going to the toilet..
Under the door had gaps you could put your fingers.. feeling of safety and privacy disappeared due to the fact that anyone walking past the door could hear everything.
WiFi was terrible.
Bathroom kept flooding.
Just all in all, terrible build quality.
- Stephanie (9/5): Superb -
- Felix (6/5): Needs renovation - The beds were comfortable.
Good location. Looks nice, but at a closer look it needs a serious renovation.
If you have a problem, you cannot solve it with the reception staff, unless the manager happens to be there.
The breakfast is poor, what you see in the pictures is for several people.
- Bux_15 (10/5): Amazing Istanbul Experience 🔥 - There's nothing to NOT like!!!
The staff was exceptional 👏
The service was amazing 🔥
The food was delicious 🌶
The rooms were wonderful 🙌
The location was prime 🔥 Nothing to dislike. LOVED every bit of it ❤️
- Bux_15 (10/5): Value for Money 💰 - Everything was great !
The breakfast was delicious 🔥
The customer service was absolutely amazing 👏
The manager for the restaurant which is part of the hotel - Sulaiman- he was absolutely amazing and English communication was perfect 🔥 Nothing to dislike about this place 💕
- Bux_15 (10/5): Compassionate, Comfortable, Convenient and Cost efficient - The customer service was absolutely amazing.
Aziz - day shift receptionist/ manager - was extremely helpful and wonderful. 💕
Emir - night shift receptionist- was kind, helpful and knowledgeable about all the savvy ways to go about in Istanbul 🔥
Osman - employee - even though he is young , he was absolutely accommodative and friendly.
There was one other gentleman that was also very helpful unfortunately I can't remember his name 😂 but I used to call him Nagid 😂 even though that's not his name.
Shahzaib - manager - he was another bonus at the hotel, always thoughtful and helpful in any way possible. And he knew all the great good food places to eat at 🔥
The transfer services provided for a fee from the hotel to airport and vice versa were also very affordable and great 👌
Extra bonus all of the staff new English quite well so communication was absolutely amazing and service was the best 👌 I can't say I did not like anything but I would suggest that maybe they give two pillows per person instead of one each. I had to ask for the extra one which came without any issues or troubles.
- Dejan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vladica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kesele (8/5): Very good - Amazing room and cleanliness
Location was briliant
- Manuel (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, good attention, clean and comfortable A lot of external noise outside of room
- Katy (8/5): Excellent value for what we paid - very nice staff - Helpful staff, warm and fairly comfortable Shabby shower and chipped paint. A bit tired
- Florinbatrinu (7/5): Decent place for a short stay, walking distance to the main attractions. - Very friendly staff, they helped us recommending a parking and even took us there. We even got an upgrade for one of the rooms. On the roof there is a small terrace where you have access. The house is in a good area, walking distance to the main attractions. Lots of shops and restaurants around, so you have everything you need very close. We needed a place to sleep for a short visit, so, for us was ok, but it's Turkey where everything was made cheap, so don't come with high expectations. Overall, a decent experience if you need a place with basics, like a clean bed and hot water, but no more than that. Same breakfast everyday, and it's a very basic one, with low quality products.

- Erik (8/5): The stay was convened and not too far the city centre and fifteen minutes away from Kapali carshi - It is cosy and comfortable The windows were opposite the wall
- Denise (10/5): I would recommend it to others. - Central location, everything is in walk-distance, we barely use public transport. It is clean, they changed out towela every day. The staff is very friedly and helpful. Breakfast is great also.
- Sayi (9/5): Superb - The locality is beautiful and picturesque. The restaurants right next to the stay is so cute and amazing. Good Breakfast. It's a bit uphill to walk and reach the nearest tram. But not difficult ! The walk in the locality was so good. They helped us get our airport drop off. The staff ate very helpful and cheerful. Room was well maintained with clean sheets. Good washrooms. The cups and kettle in the room were not clean.
- Noura (10/5): We enjoyed our stay very much. We had an amazing experience with this host! - It was near all the touristic places in Sultanahmet. The breakfast was really really good, I miss it already. It was really very clean too and the staff was kind always there if any questions. Definitely somewhere we could go back to if we’re ever in Istanbul again. We really enjoyed our stay ! Nothing. It was perfect for us.
- Rohan (8/5): Very good - The washroom space was a little congested
- Catalina (9/5): Good value and modern mansion - It was close to majority of attraction on the European side. Quite far from metro, but close to a tramvay station. A bit difficult to reach as you have to go down/ climb steep hills. The place was clean, and suitable for 2 people. Cleaning was done every day. The staff si very friendly and provide amazing customer service. The breakfast is tasty, and although it seems small, it is very filling and enough. Nothing.
- Nurshalov (9/5): The staff was good and pleasant. Breakfast also was nice. -
- Marita (10/5): Clean, bright and comfortable, with great hospitality - Lovely area, quiet but close to transport and the main sights. Really helpful staff. Beautiful street, good breakfast - I would definitely stay there again! Room slightly small - might not suit a couple (but I’m sure there were larger rooms available)
- Halimah (9/5): Great location - clean and comfortable! - It was well decorated and comfortable there were free toiletries and coffee/tea. The staff were accommodating and the rooms were clean. There’s a great terrace on the top with a view of the blue mosque. It’s close to everything. The free breakfast is great and has a lot of food.
- Aljosa (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Breakfast was very good,location was perfect. 10mins from Blue and Aja Sofia mosques. Staff was very helpful. Accommodatio has everything you need and is very clean. The transfer from Sabiha airport is little bit complicated( 3 times you need to switch the transportation).
