Guest Reviews
- Melissa (8/5): Top - Chambre propre et lits confortables
Le personnel est très gentil
L’emplacement de l’hôtel est top pour visiter et entouré de commodités, restaurants, taxis La salle de bain est très petite
- angelo (10/5): Constantinopolis - Centro città
- Olena (8/5): За таку ціну-ідеальне розташування - Розташування ідеальне
Ціна повністю відповідає якості,тому і не очікували супер місце,так будівля і меблі старі,але все чисто.
- Klesova (10/5): -
- Sinan D. (6/5): - Lokacija je perfektna jer je sve u blizini !
Velika pohvala za čistačicu koja je na svaki način htela da pomogne. Momak koji radi kao Haus majstor je bio izuzetan i od pomoći u svakom slučaju! Gazda ne poštuje dogovore i rezervacije. Rezervisao sam sobu na spratu sa pogledom na more. Bio sam ucenjivan da sa suprugom i malim detetom prihvatim sobu u podrumu! Gazda je rekao da kao izvinjenje, da neće nam naplatiti boravak, dok nismo ušli u tu sobu, posle se predomislio i deo da nije to rekao već da će nam dati samo 5e popusta !
Ne preporučujem saradnju!
- Anca (10/5): Fain, daca vrei ceva de buget si aproape de centru - Era aproape de bazar, am ajuns la 8 dimineata ai ne-a facut early check in, au o parcare pe strada, pe care o poti folosi gratuit Nu exista nimic rau de spus
- GEORGE (7/5): -
- Ersan (10/5): Güzel ve konum olarak harika - Konum Yok
- Marinela (10/5): -
- Abunasyr (10/5): -
- Hashimzada (10/5): If you plan to travel a lot and not to stay in room most of your visit it is a good option - Location close to Sultanahmet, if you travel and want to see all ancient mosques that a best option as you can you walk easely all the pla es. Also close to road easy to get to the bus station and taxi
As for the room itself it is clean and quite pace, very friendly staff. Bathroom a bit small, but everything worked and was clean.
- ZHADYRA (10/5): -
- Котлубей (8/5): - В номере страшно воняло сыростью,необходим ремонт
- SOKOL (10/5): Bellissimo +++++ - Bellissima esperienza! La posizione ottima e molto vicina alle piazze e i posti storici piu attrattivi di Istambul. La stanza pulita e curata.
Ma siamo rimasti molto contenti e soddisfatti dalla ospitalità e la disponibilatà del propietario Cihat, che veramete un Gentle Man! Grazie +++++
- Carolina (7/5): Esperaba más - Habitación espaciosa con dos camas grandes
Tiene nevera La habitación huele a humedad todo el rato porque está metida hacia abajo como si fuera un sótano (cosa que no te enseñan en las fotos)
El baño necesita una reforma urgente. El grifo da repelus tocarle porque está feisimo, y la ducha deja mucho que desear
En la pagina pone: Hay parking gratis privado en el establecimiento. No es necesario reservar.
No hay parking ni nada, es una calle sin más. y dejan coches en doble fila. Cuando quisimos salir tuvimos que estar media hora esperando a que buscaran de quienes eran los coches para salir.
- Dimitar (10/5): Excellent - I had a great stay at this hotel in Turkey. The location is excellent—very convenient and close to everything you need. The host was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay, which made the experience even better.Overall, it’s definitely worth it. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.We were with car,you have parking spots and it safe,reccomend!
Greetings from Bulgaria!
- Silviya Slavova (2/5): -
- Juan Carlos (10/5): Cerca de la mezquita azul - La ubicación está muy cerca de la mezquita azul a cinco mimutos andando La vista al mar estaba pero no era lo que me espere
- Деница Ганева (3/5): - Не става,мръсен ,стар хотел Много зле
- Kryštof (7/5): - Bylo to blízko centra , čisté a pohodlné a majitel byl velmi přátelský a ochotný. Přes noc bylo z venku celkem všechno slyšet , ale tak to se neni čemu divit v centru.
- Bujdoso (10/5): - Perfect location and friendly helpful stuff
- Diana (10/5): Unforgettable time in Istanbul - The biggest advantage of this hotel is definitely its location. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option in the city.
The hotel has all the basic amenities you need after a long day of exploring — you can come back, take a shower, and relax in a clean, comfortable bed.
The host was always in touch and ready to help with anything, which made the stay even more comfortable. .

- Zinolla (10/5): -
- Waleed Bidan (8/5): - Der Preis war echt gut und alles hat gepasst.
- Omota Tiberiu (9/5): Weekend la istanbul - Gazda e foarte amabila, ne-a retinut 2 locuri de parcare,am venit cu 2 masini,a fost super curat Mobilierul din baie e f vechi, treb schimbat,Pozele cu camerele nu corespund cu realitatea, in camera de la subsol trebuie facut ceva deoarece miroase ingrozitor
- Rana (8/5): -
- Velina (10/5): Страхотен престой! - Всичко ми харесва. Местоположението и това, че има осигурен паркинг. Домакинът е страхотен, винаги готов да помогне при нужда. Ще се върнем отново със дигурност! Няма накова!
- Anastasiia (8/5): - Отличное месторасположение, цена, возможность оплаты на месте , хозяин на связи по телефону и в вотсапп. В номере есть все необходимое. Отличный сервис трансфера до аэропорта. За это отдельное спасибо. Рядом началась стройка. Работал экскаватор. Слышно трамвай, но лично для меня это некритично.
- Huseynova (4/5): -
- SLYVYNSKA (10/5): - Очень здорово что гостиница находится возле набережной, всё есть холодильник, чайник, фен
- adriano (8/5): -
- Krumov (7/5): - Хотела беше приличен - леглата бяха удобни и беше далеч от центъра,което беше плюс предвид Рамазана. Не работеше дистанционното на климатика и духаше само студено, но добре че имаше радиатор,който компенсираше студената стая
- Andrii (10/5): -
- Асан (9/5): - Гледката от стаята беше страхотна, но беше много чиста, локацията е на доста добро място. Стаята беше много малка, и телевизора не работеше.
- Sinel (10/5): -
- Lusjana (5/5): - Μου άρεσε το οτι ήταν σχετικά κοντά σε αξιοθέατα. Το δωμάτιο μέσα ήταν εντάξει για τα λεφτά του αλλά πολύ κακή υγιεινή δεν ήρθανε ποτέ να μας φέρουνε χαρτί τουαλέτας ούτε να μας αλλάξουν σεντόνια για μία βδομάδα που μείναμε Ούτε πετσέτες….
Το Προσωπικό είναι συνεννοήσιμο. Δεν μου άρεσε καθόλου υγιεινή του δωματίου αρχικάΔεν μου άρεσε καθόλου υγιεινή του δωματίου. Την πρώτη μέρα όλα εντάξει ήταν στρωμένο το κρεβάτι υπήρχε χαρτί τουαλέτας ένας κάδος πετσέτες ενώ είχαμε κλείσει για έξι μέρες δεν ήρθαν ούτε μία φορά να μας αλλάξουν τα σεντόνια να μας φέρουνε πετσέτες να φέρουνε χαρτί τουαλέτας ούτε να καθαρίσουν το δωμάτιο και προσπαθήσαμε να κρατήσουμε όσο πιο καθαρό γίνεται διότι όλα τα υπόλοιπα ήταν χάλια. Δεν είναι θέμα τιμής το να κρατάς ένα δωμάτιο καθαρό και να φέρεις πετσέτες αυτό πρέπει να γίνεται αυτονόητα..

- Manuel (9/5): - El entorno
Todo bien, muy cerca de lugares de interés
Felicitaciones La calle estaba muy sucio y materiales de construcción
- Ersan (9/5): - Konum
- Ilvira (7/5): -
- adriano (8/5): - La posizione vicino ai Ss Sergio e Bacco , la vicinanza dalla S Sofia
- Mashiul (8/5): Good one. - Nice. Nice.
- Nicolae (1/5): Dezamăgitor, de evitat pentru viitor! - Bine amplasat, aproape de obiectivele turistice În ziua în care am ajuns la cazare proprietarul nu s-a prezentat pentru a ne înmâna cheile și a venit alta persoană si ne-a dus la subsolul clădirii unde era umezeală, mizerie si efectiv nu puteai sa dormi. După o discuție cu proprietarul acesta ne-a mințit ca este la spital si ca problema camerei se va rezolva în următoarea zi, după multe insistente acesta ne-a dat de la o cameră pentru 3 persoane cum am făcut rezervarea la 2 camere separate care la fel au fost murdare, lenjerie ruptă și murdară , mobilier rupt , toaleta infectă iar la una dintre camere tavanul fals era lipit cu bandă. A doua zi dimineața proprietarul a venit și a insistat să facem plata cash însă acesta a refuzat să ne dea bonul fiscal deși ceea ce a făcut el este ilegal. El ne-a promis ca la plecare ne va trimite factura însă nu am primit nimic. Mai mult de atât când am raportat problema la booking și toate nemulțumirile acesta le-a spus ca nu ne-am prezentat la cazare și ca nu am stat de fapt acolo. Nu recomand acesta cazare!!! Acest review nu a fost făcut cu rea intenție, dorim ca alte persoane să nu fie înșelate cum am fost noi .Tot ceea ce am spus aici poate fi dovedit cu poze (am mai multe poze decat cele 4 care se pot încărca).
- Santoshee (3/5): - No water for the shower
- Laura Mihaela (10/5): Raport excelent preț calitate - Camera arata superb, regal as putea spune!
Este aproape de atracțiile turistice!
Gazda foarte amabila ne a cazat mai devreme!
- Diego (1/5): Nunca recomendaría este sitio ni volvería. Gran error haberlo elegido - Las vistas de la habitación, pero eso no compensa dormir en esas condiciones. La cama era una porquería, el colchón tenia más curvas que una montaña rusa. Me dolía la espalda muchísimo. El somier tenía clavos sin terminar de clavar en la zona de los pies. La televisión no funcionaba. No es un hotel, además de estar mal señalizado. Le moleste a una inquilina porque ponía que era allí. Le pusieron hotel en el nombre pero nada de eso. No tiene ascensor y las escaleras no tienen apoyo, y son muy empinadas.
- Mohammadsina (10/5): - Jigad was very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay—the hotel is in a great, safe location, and the top floors have a beautiful view of the Marmara Sea
- Abhinav (9/5): -
- Geraldine (7/5): Céntrico - El hotel está muy cerca de las mezquitas y tiendas Al principio no querían aceptar pago en tarjeta lo cual nos angustio un poco porque no teníamos efectivo, pero luego logramos llegar a un acuerdo con el Host
- Belen (9/5): - La ubicación es estupenda, está muy cerca de la mezquita azul. La cama es muy cómoda y estaba limpio. La vista del mar de Mármara es muy bonita. Tuvimos las dos habitaciones con vistas al mar. Una de ellas estaba mal aislada.
- Iryna (10/5): -
- Dea (2/5): -
- Aleksandar (8/5): -
- Габриела (7/5): -
- Pacay11q11 (5/5): Accesible y útil si solo vas a dormir - La ubicación es cerca de las Mezquitas y de restaurantes. Pero alejado de otras atracciones turísticas. Es un lugar solamente para dormir, no tiene otros servicios. No había alguien en recepción permanente, aunque respondió rápido las preguntas. Y ofreció servicio de taxi. La sábana y toalla estaban rotas. Tuvimos que pedir que hicieran limpieza, al parecer si no lo pedíamos, no lo hacían. No cuentan con ningún servicio, como de restaurante y algunos muebles ya están viejos y necesitan cambio. Las gradas son muchas y de difícil acceso para personar mayores de edad.

- Musa (10/5): İstanbulu yaşamak istiyorsanız aradığınız konum california city hotel - Konumu temizliği ve personeli
- Taalai (10/5): - Рабочий персоналы спасибо вам хорошие люди. Рядом всё, базар, кафе, магазин. Все хорошо
- Samman (2/5): -
- Aleksandr (10/5): - Все как на картинке 👌 удобный район для пеших прогулок по Стамбулу.
Тихий переулок. Днём и вечером слышен проезжающий трамвай, но ночью тишина.
Вам подойдет этот отель если вы один и с рюкзаком, как я 👍
Для двух людей с чемоданом будет сильно тесно да и узкая лестница не будет удобной для поднятия больших вещей
- Citadelle (1/5): - L'emplacement Pas propre, mauvaise odeur, 1 resa oubliée donc une amie à du dormir avec une autre amie dans la même chambre ! Ce n'est pas un hôtel !
- Sophie (1/5): Hôtel à éviter ! - L emplacement A mon arrivée, alors que j avais réservé ma chambre sur booking, il n’y avait pas de chambre pour moi. Je n’ ai pas eu d autre choix que de partager la chambre avec une des personnes du groupe d amis. Cuvette des toilettes cassée, il n y a avait qu un drap housse pas de drap de dessus , seulement un couvre lit. Matelas taché et chambre pas très propre
- Palak Pankajbhai (2/5): I didnt feel that it was worth the money i paid - The one guy over there who seems to be owner was with good nature however there was no one else apart from him we reached on time and there was no one. There is only one person who is owner as well. no other staff member and no facilities given. No kitchen, ac was not working, darins were jammed in bathroom, bathroom light not working, shower broking! and for the rest of the time there was no one apart from us in the whole hotel.

- Faragó (8/5): - 15 percre van a Kék Mecsettől eldugott kis zsákutcában. A szállásadó kedves volt. A zuhanyzóban a víz a zuhanyfej mellett eresztett
A kilátás egyáltalán nem tengerre néző. A szobához egy szűk meredek lépcsősor vezetett.

- Gr from BG (8/5): - Добра локация, удобни легла, паркинг - служители се грижат за колата, местят я както е удобно. Имахме проблем, който успяха да разрешат бързо. Беше чисто Има лек проблем с канала - но на фона на всичко останало е пренебрежим.
- Matas (6/5): Need a big renovation - Location, free parking, good wifi, friendly staff, AC Steep stairs, very high humidity, bad smell, room needs renovation, construction site in front of the window, small fridge with no refrigerator, train is riding often somewhere near - loud sound!
- Iris (7/5): Comfortable, pleasant, well located - The room was small and a bit impracticable because of the step'down to the door but other than that it was exactly what we needed it to be. Good bed, airconditioning, bathroom, and fridge. It was clean, the hotel is located in a good area, lot's of nice places to eat or drink coffee, walkable and close to hsitorical center. It was value for money and check in was very easy. There were a couple of stepd down to get to the door from the inside of the room. More than once did almost fall down them because I did not expect this.
- Andrea (5/5): Central noisy cheap location - Central location Extremely noisy with the train running next to the hotel
- Belinda (7/5): - Location was good. Check in was easy. Shower water pressure was good. Good value for money given the price. Wasn't particularly clean - shower had grim everywhere. Someone else's hair was in the corner of the shower. The fridge wasn't cold and smelt bad.
- Valter (6/5): -
- Grigorios (10/5): Ολα καλά το συστήνω.! - Τοποθεσία, δωμάτιο τιμή.! Με το ίντερνετ υπήρχε ένα θέμα.!

- michela (6/5): -
- Zoltán (8/5): -
- Mihai D. (8/5): - Good location, fast check in, , room size ok
- Kiril (5/5): Not impressive, nor disappointing - I liked that the sheets were clean and the place was very tidy. The staff was very helpful. The toilet would stink like hell every time someone would take a shower and it would stink up the whole room. The bathroom is a bit cramped, otherwise it’s okay.
- M. Shah (9/5): - The hotel is located in a quiet area with a lovely sea view and is within walking distance to the sea, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and all the main attractions. The room is clean and comfortable, equipped with a fridge, kettle, and air conditioning. The beds are cozy, and the bathroom with very good shower pressure. Overall, it's a great place to stay and offers good value for money. The sea view room is on 3rd floor and without a lift. One has to use stairs.
- falchieri stefano (9/5): - Potrebbero rinnovare gli interni La posizione è vicina al centro
- Melinda (9/5): -
- Evgenii (8/5): -
- 인혜 (6/5): -
- Stefanie (5/5): Only worth it for the location - Bathroom was clean
excellent location (Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque in walking distance, seaside also very close, good restaurants nearby)
Friendly reception
AC worked well
Good dark curtains
Comfy bed Bedsheets and some bathtowels were dirty.
There was no real blanket, we had to sleep under the bedspread.
Everything was cheaply manufactured (plastic chairs, toilet almost fell apart).
The fridge was working but extremely smelly (smelled like goat cheese).
No lift, 2 flights of very steep stairs - not suitable for people with reduced mobility!
- Temirlan (10/5): We spent 3 days in Istanbul. This hotel is a perfect place to stay and explore the city due to its location - Great location, very clean and the host is very helpful.
- Joaquim (8/5): Good value for money in a decent location. - Great host. Did his best to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Location is good (5 min walk to Sultanahmet square), with some decent restaurants and a grocery store that came in handy to buy water and other supplies for the day.
Towels were changed and overall the room was tidy and clean.
In the end, you get what you pay for. On the downside: TV wasn't working - as in, it turned on but no channels were tuned...
Shower could use some improvement.
