A wonderful hotel & staff

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. I was unfortunately scammed by a taxi driver in Turkey, and even though the hotel had nothing to do with my taxi booking, the staff sincerely apologized and showed great concern. One of the staff members even lent me his Istanbul card for train and bus rides when I asked how to buy one—such kindness is rare! I’m beyond satisfied with everything. The best staff, the best service, and the perfect location—just 5 minutes from the Blue Mosque. Highly recommend!

Could be a 10!

The location and price can't be beat - only 2 blocks from the Camberlitas tram and the Grand Bazaar. It is set on a side street so is quiet. I never heard anything drom outside me room. The bathroom shower could stand some attending with the wire rack being very rusty and there being some black mold. Also, the light in the bathroom was horrible for applying makeup. These were small prices to pay though for a cheap, charming, and perfectly located hotel with 24 hour desk.

Bad room condition, excellent location

Location is very good, breakfast is excellent. However, i had a triple room booked and stayed for 3 nights (4 days). As soon as i checked in water tap in bathroom wasn't working which i reported to reception and they keep saying I'll be fixed. It was fixed on the 3rd night. Toilet door did not lock, and the shower door was only half, i reported it to the reception, he kept saying we will give you another room But wasn't the case, very disappointing.

I don't recommend this hotel. It looks good on the pictures but that's just pretend. The place is falling apart. Everything is outdated. The AC / heat barely worked. Lamp had exposed wires. Caulking was non existent. There was mold in the bathroom. I stayed in Turkey for 10 days in a different hotel each night, and the breakfast was the worst in that hotel. I arrived and had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come back to the reception desk (middle of the afternoon). It's off a mainstreet, which is great, but the street it's on isn't the best. Big trash containers a couple of foot away from the main door, with the sidewalk full of trash (and you can smell it when you open the window).

Hôtel très bien placé !!!

L'hôtel est très bien situé pour faire à pied sainte Sophie, Topkapi, mosquée bleue et le grand bazar. Un arrêt de tram est à 2 min à pied ainsi qu'une épicerie, très pratique ! En ce qui concerne les chambres, elles mériteraient d'être rénovées, petites surtout pour 4 personnes
