It is a 4 stars hotel, having issues with hot water for almost 2 days and with the air conditionner for more than one day, knowing that we are staying hew days only in the hotel is abnormal. However, the service (staff) was good.

The place is clean and quiet . Housekeeping is daily if you opted to. Staff were friendly. Breakfast is good. Most of the attractions are so close and you can reach it on foot. All in all, it’s perfect for the price.

Our stay at the Interstar Hotel was excellent to say the least. The staff were friendly as well as attentive. The hotel was small yet cosy. There was a good selection of food for breakfast and also, the view was absolutely stunning. The vast majority of places that we visited were within walking distance. I’d definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

Hotel was conveniently located close to the blue mosque and Grand Bazar. Room was a reasonable size and was clean. Only thing that let it down was the AC was not working and due to this, the room was humid and was forced to open windows which had some late night traffic noise.

A rapid 5-10 minute walk to a variety of locations, this cute hotel works to offer support to their guests getting oriented. However, sited amongst narrow streets, Uber may decline to take you there (our almost driver said he would do it off-app for double the price, we bailed and caught a taxi instead.) The hotel did help arrange a reasonably priced van ride back to the airport. Breakfast is a simple mixture of foods, but a welcome starter to the day if you don't want to spend eating out every meal.

A boutique hotel with a great location, just minutes walk away from the Blue Mosque and Hippodrome. The room, while small, was perfect for one person. The room and bathroom were clean and replenished every day. The staff were extremely friendly and spoke excellent English. The breakfast is served each morning on the top floor with a great view. The food selection is slightly limited but was good for what I needed. There was noise from the street during the week (mostly other cars going by) and many of the surrounding the streets are narrow and inclined (old city). There is a small mosque right next door that does loudspeaker calls to prayer several times per day, which some might find noisy. Overall excellent value and a recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Please do not stay at this hotel and save your money. The rooms did not have functioning air conditioning and given the weather being in the 90s, it made trying to get ready or sleep in the rooms unbearable. The staff was notified in the morning of these issues and did nothing about it the whole day we were out. We were moved to another room, but the air conditioning in this room broke within 30 minutes. There were no fans available either. This was all occuring after 11pm and well into 1am, when we were trying to rest after a long day of exploring. The owner refused to refund anything for this and stated the only option was to stay in the unsuitable room. If you try to leave the windows open, there are megaphones from a nearby mosque pointed directly at the hotel that are extremely loud throughout the early morning and evenings. This is by far the worst accomodation I have ever stayed at. Please do not bring your family here. I'm sure there are many better and more reputable hotels in the area.
