Gedikpasa Konagi Hotel

Walking distance to major sites, great staff, good breakfast, cellar-style dining area

Small room, noisy neighborhood, taxi from the airport could not get to the hotel's front

We appreciated the friendly , helpful, professional and welcoming personnel. The establishment was very clean, comfortable, calm and cozy. The breakfast buffet was tasty and accommodating for all tastes . The cleanliness of the rooms was perfect and maintained throughout the stay. Bonus points for the fantastic terrace with sea view.

The road incline between the hotel and nearby tramway station is somewhat hard.

Great breakfast , wonderful helpful staff , good location

I loved the old world charm of the hotel but some folks might find it dated ..

Everything but the best part without a Shadow of a doubt: THE STAFF! They are very friendly always willing to help you and give you any tips about the city. The hotel is lovely too with a lot of character.

To say something ( minor issue) to have a bedside lamp to be able to read while the kid is already sleeping.

I had such a wonderful time staying here! The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly and made me feel so welcome. They helped with a lot of logistical things so I could just focus on enjoying the experience. The location is great--just a 10-15 min walk from the Hagia Sophia and other popular destinations in the area, but the hotel is tucked away enough to be peaceful and quiet. In the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, it helped to have a little oasis away from the chaos when needed--there is a lovely rooftop terrace to relax on. Breakfast has a whole range of delicious options, in a really cool old room from (I think) the Byzantine era. I would definitely stay again!

This isn't a negative per se, just a heads up for anyone with limited mobility--the hotel is located on a pretty steep hill. That said, most of Istanbul is pretty hilly. However, directly up the hill is the metro line--I didn't use it myself, but it's a good option if you have trouble walking or want to go somewhere further away.

Property is in a great location surrounded by good food options and about a five minute walk away from the grand bazaar and metro station. The host were extremely kind and friendly, continually offering advice and suggestions of the local area and assisting any way they can. The hotel street is very well lit and restaurants were open to 1am every night. The terrace has an amazing view of the ocean and local mosque.

Only thing to note is the metro is uphill of the hotel, if you are not able to walk or climb inclines it will effect your stay.

Very nice place. All objects you can reach on foot in 8-15 minutes. Breakfast is excellent. Nice view from the roof terrase. Comfortable beds. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Very warm welcome by all staff they all speaks very good english, breakfast was rich and tasty, the foods sell near hotel was cheap and variety. The staff even help us buys luggage bags and carry them to the hotel.

Breakfast meal buffet was nice ambience was good eating in the cellar historical architecture on show..The staff was very helpful. Helping with all aspects of stay.

Due to historical building sound insulation in bedroom not great but it added to the charm.

I selected this hotel as it is in the heart of the old city of Istanbul. We mingled with the people and got to know true Turkish hospitality. I could have chosen a european style more modern hotel but wanted this hotel as soon as I saw the photos especially the underground breakfast area. In my view, this is an an authentic and charming little hotel that makes you feel like you stepped back in time and space. If you love ancient and authentic structures, then this might be the one for you. Situated in a busy street, you get to see the real people of Istanbul in their everyday life. The breakfast area is an antique underground space that I find so unique! I think it is at least 300 years old if not more! As for the breakfast we got to enjoy an amazing selection every morning starting at 8 am. We came from the United States and have been in other hotels but have not seen this kind of selection of the daily breakfast including veggies and sweets. The staff is very helpful and friendly. As for the location of the hotel, being in the centre of the old city so close to all the attractions was worth it. We got the istanbul card and found the transportation to be easy. The staff even booked for us a bosphorus trip that we enjoyed. At the end we extended our stay by a few days. I do recommend this little gem that is charming and authentic. You will go home with sweet memories.

For me, there wasn’t a thing that I did not like. You don’t find helpful and friendly staff like the staff of Gedikpasa Konagi Hotel in other countries. I wish I could come more often!

Very nice place. Center is near this hotel. Staff is very kind and positive.

Everything was fine. Maybe it’s better to repair some furniture, but this is wasn’t uncomfortable.

Very good value for money! Excellent location, close to all major attractions. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good Breakfast. Large rooms, heating and air conditioning working. Very good price(end of November)

Room furniture and shower faucet are not in the best condition, but more than acceptable. I stayed in much worse hotel rooms for bigger prices in Western Europe. Also, you can hear noice from the hallway, but again, met this problem in many, many other hotels.

the room is clean the breakfast is good like and drink as well it was quite the staff do their best to help us

The entrance staircase is very narrow and there is a plant that hides the staircase and makes it difficult to get upstairsThere is no elevator and the stairs inside are circular and it was very difficult for me to get to the top floor as I am 59 years old and have a problem with my knees and the manager refused to return my money as the reservation is non-refundable which made me upset but we completed the reservation and will not be coming back againAlso the restaurant is in the basement without a window and the air conditioning is not working

Service very friendly which is very nice! Location is super great!! Cost is good too.

The hotel is more like a friendly Bed & Breakfast. Very pleasant and staff always ready to help. I had some unique and unexpected issues and they went out of their way to help me resolve them. Breakfast is freshly made and fruit was exceptional. All you can eat if you want a full stomach to start the day. Rooms include a refrigerator and the hotel's location is only 4 blocks from the Tram which takes you to the OLD CITY and you can continue on public transportation to TAXIM Square and even to the airport. The neighborhood is safe and the commercial stores/restaurants are vibrant and inexpensive. Taxi to airport is reasonably priced and reservations can be made by hotel staff. A police station is only a few blocks away. What more can you ask for at such a moderate price?

There was some construction that was noisy on first floor but not at the upper floors. I assume that the work will soon be completed. The internet went down but not the fault of the hotel as the entire neighborhood was without internet service.

Extremely friendly staff, they give good advice and know how to help. The rooms and toilets are clean. The hotel is old but charming. Great location.

Beds are comfortable but not the pillows.

The hotel is located in Faith district next to the Grand Bazaar. it is around 20-30 min walk to main sights Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque). Despite that the first impression on location is worrisome (not very clean,very busy and chaotic) - it is a very safe area. the building is historical and has a character. It is a bit shabby though. Every room is done in different style bringing you back to late Ottoman era. It is very clean and neat inside. Personal is very nice,helpful and friendly. They have a great breakfast options and one of the best Turkish coffee.)

We had taken two rooms. Both of them were amazing,but in one of them there was a feeling of a bit illogical placing of the furniture (may be it needs to be thought upon a bit). In another room there was no proper full-height wardrobe (but this is more like a slight inconvenience). Also guests should be prepared to walk uphill to get to the main sights and there is no lift in the hotel,so may be it wouldn’t be the best place for people with disabilities (personally it wasn’t a negative point to us,but it would be nice to know for others).

Perfect location, very good breakfast. Very helpful staff at the reception.

Breakfast starts at 8.00 so it is a little late when you have a ferry, tour or sightseeing from the morning. No cleaning our room during the stay, only the rubbish were thrown away.

staff was very nice, understanding, food good.?

It was terribly cold, a lot of noise outside

Fantastic location for tourist attractions. lovely roof terrace overlooking the sea.

Could have been a bit cleaner, bedding wasn’t the best but still slept well.
