Nice hotel but lacks in maintenance especially in the bathroom and no city view from deluxe double room as mentioned; expensive for what it is. Correct breakfast without more, average service.

Great stay. Rooms were modern and interiors was clean and fresh. Not many options at breakfast. Very simple. Walls are quiet thin. Could hear cars outside and people moving around upstairs but other than that great hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location too and near lots of restaurants.

This is a lovely, tiny little hotel with a lot of flair in the very heart of Istanbul`s touristic center (5 min only to the Hagia Sophia!). The rooms are small, but entirely new decorated, very welcoming, perfectly (!) clean and with a really good bed. The personal is incredibly kind and always willing to help and recommend on how to spend the time in Istanbul best. They serve a wonderful Turkish breakfast which is a bit different from the "plain vanilla" breakfast in other hotels. The Ishak Pasa Hotel had a really good balance between price and what you get for it. If I come back to Istanbul, I will stay again!

Great location, good hotel.

We stayed one night. It was very clean and the receptionist (Sebastian) was brilliant - very warm and welcoming! The shower was powerful and our room (room 6) was quiet. I have not given full marks for a couple of reasons: 1. Breakfast was very good but when we arrived, some items were finished already and we were told we needed to arrive earlier for these. I would expect things to be refilled during breakfast. 2. Room 6 bathroom door did not close without significant force. It needs some maintenance. I would consider staying again though.

Amazing location with affordable price

Situated in a strategic location in Fatih, next to Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque. Walking distance to Spice Bazaar which was good for morning stroll. Hotel staffs are all nice, friendly & welcoming. Hotel serves Traditional Turkish Breakfast each morning. Room is aesthetically pleasing, but the windows and walls are not sound proof so you could hear vehicle passing by or people talking or walking pass. Hotel provides tours, pay by cash only either in TL or €. I recommend taking the airport transfer (provided by the hotel at a price), as public transport in Istanbul is often very pack.

This hotel is super loud and not great. Person outside our room at 1am organizing towels in loud crinkly bags. Thats how thin the walls and doors are I am aware that Istanbul is loud but this was like as loud as a cardboard box. The room was miniature with no bathroom fan. Super hot in November and the aircon did not work. Only blew hot air even when on regular fan setting or on aircon setting. This area is super expensive restaurants all scamming tourists. Find another area, trust me. Least favorite part of istanbul. 220Lira for a beer everywhere in this area. Go anywhere else and its 100Lira. Trust me. Free breakfast was so so. Not really worth it here. Everytime you walk past any of the restaurants near the hotel they hastle you to come in. Nowhere else in istanbul does this really.

Das Personal war mega nett und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel an sich war sehr sauber. Das Bad und die Toilette waren besonders sauber! Für den Preis finde ich dieses Hotel sehr empfehlenswert. Einzige Nachteil was ich wahrgenommen habe, war der Geräuschpegel. Es fahren relativ viele Autos und Busse durch, welches man hört als gäbe es keine Fenster. Genauso hört man alles was außerhalb der Tür geschieht. Außerhalb dessen verdient dieses Hotel alle vollen Sterne von mir. Bei meiner nächsten Anreise werde ich dieses Hotel definitiv wieder buchen.
