The hotel has an excellent location, 15 minute walk to Sultanameth square. It has a nice view from the terrace. The breakfast is healthy and yummy, the owner is a very polite man, friendly and very helpful. Rooms are very small thou, shower is in the same space where the toilet is without any division, I am not a fan of this. Recommended for 1 person and for a short stay

Average accomadation.

Wonderful location and positive reviews of this property made us choose this hotel. The shower doesn't even have a curtain and is not separated from the rest of the bathroom anyhow. It results in getting the WC and even the toilet paper roll damp every time you have shower. We've stayed there for 7 nights and had towels changed and cleaning only once during our stay. The toiletries that the hotel provides include only soap bars and shampoo bottles. The staircase leading to the breakfast terrace on the forth floor is indeed very narrow and challenging your physical condition. The breakfast is fresh and plentiful, the beds are comfy, the location is walkable to all the major sights of Sultanahmet.

Small, clean with a view

Small hotel in an old building with a very nice view of the Sea of Marmara from the top floor breakfast area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms leave little for other then the bed and can be chilly in the winter time. Great for overnighters and low budget travelers with minimal baggage. It is a very narrow walk up to all the floors.

Close to historical attractions.

Hotel was within walking distance of Sultanahmet. The stairs leading up to the rooms were very narrow. Hated the shower, toilet, sink combination. Friendly staff though.

Hotel pour touriste à petit budget

Peu de confort, chambre très petite, douche sans protection, donc salle de bain inondée, tres bruyante (bruits des autres chambres), nous n'avobs pas pu payer par carte de crédit et aucune communication à ce sujet nous avait été fournie au moment du check-in. Le vieux concièrge, qui la nuit dort dans une chambre pour les clients, ne parlait pas bcp de anglais.

Nice little hotel in a great area, near Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. Rooms are clean, breakfast is ok, the view from the roof top is nice. The owners are discret but welcoming.

No coinciden la foto con la realidad del hotel

El hotel está situado en una zona central aunque un poco empinada. El señor solamente habla turko por lo que es difícil la comunicación. El hotel esta en muy malas condiciones y nos toco una habitacion que tocaba bajar unas escaleras muy angostas y empinada un poco peligrosa. La habitación muy fea y con mucho olor a humedad. No volvería a este hotel, lo tienen muy abandonado.

Decent budget-hotel in Sultanahmet

A very simple hotel located in the old district of Istanbul (Sultanahmet), close to all of the biggest tourist attractions. The room was quite small, but since we didn't spend that much time at the room it was alright for a weekend. The breakfast was sufficient with some nice turkish specialties and, best of all, served on their rooftop terrace with an amazing view of the Marmara sea! The staff was very friendly and helpful, even despite their poor english. Overall: Decent budget-hotel in a good geographical location, can definitely recommend!

Sehr kleines, aber zentrales Altstadthotel

Ich war mit meiner Schwester 7 Nächte in dem Hotel. Es ist sehr klein. Es gibt 4 Etagen inkl. dem EG, auf jeder Etage sind 2 Zimmer, außer im EG, da gibt es nur 1 Zimmer. Die Zimmer sind klein, ausgestattet mit einem Bett, einem Nachttisch, einem Stuhl und einem Kleiderschrank. Alles sehr einfach, aber ok. Im Badezimmer gibt es neben Toilette und Waschbecken eine Dusche (ohne Vorhang o.ä.). Wir waren die erste Nacht in Zimmer 102 im EG untergebracht. Das Badezimmer war klein, ohne Fenster und die Decke schimmelte. Man sagte uns, dass wir am nächsten Tag in ein Zimmer im 2.OG umziehen würden. Dieses war dann auch etwas größer, das Bad hatte ein Fenster und war in einem besseren Zustand, trotz eines defekten Handtuchhalters und Duschkopfhalters. Die Wände sind sehr dünn, so dass man jedes Geräusch im Haus hört, was den Schlaf sehr unruhig macht. Die Zimmer wurden täglich gereinigt. Das türkische Frühstück wurde in der obersten Etage mit Blick aufs Meer serviert. Es war ein Büffet mit Feta, Tomaten, Gurken, Oliven, Eiern, Brot und Marmelade. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett, sprechen aber sehr schlecht Englisch. Zwei Englische Mails von mir im Vorfeld, ob man uns vom Flughafen abholen könnte, wurden nie beantwortet, wahrscheinlich, weil man die Mails nicht verstanden hat. Sehr zentral gelegen, aber nur für Leute geeignet, die sich an den dünnen Wänden nicht stören.

Very clean and convenient location

Staying at Hotel New Era proved to be a very good decision. The hotel is close to all the major attractions in Istanbul, located in a good neighbourhood and very well maintained in spite of its age. However, breakfast should have more variety and the lady there should be more friendly.

hotel modeste et recommandable

L*hotel ne payait pas de mine de l"extérieur; il avait l'air délabré et la réception m"a semblé minuscule; mais j"ai été bien reçu par un jeune homme aux cheveux longs bien serrés: l"escalier en bois résonnait quand les locataires regagnaient leurs chambres: la chambre était petite mais bien propre et le lit était confortable! Le petit=déjeuner était copieux: il était servi devant une vue sublime du Bosphore et des toits de la vieille ville d"Istanbul

Per persone all'avventura, coppie giovani

Se si vuole soggiornare vicino al centro storico di Istanbul allora Hotel New Era è l'albergo giusto. Lo consiglio soprattutto alle coppiette che non vogliono spendere troppo. La stanza è molto piccola ma ha tutto ciò di cui si ha bisogno. Doccia ( anche se senza alcuna tenda o separè dal resto del bagno), asciugamani puliti, tv, armadio, un letto comodo. La colazione è ottima e offre sia dolce che salato. Lo staff è disponibile e gentilissimo.

Sijainti on parasta tässä hotellissa

Kannattaa ottaa korvatulpat mukaan, käytävästä kuuluu kaikki äänet, samoin viemäreistä, jotka menevät sängyn päädyssä. Aamupala oli hyvä.
