The hotel itself needs renovation, interior is too old and makes the hotel look even dirtier than it really is. There was a layer of dust wheb we checked in. The walls have no sound isolation and you feel like sleeping outside in the street. You can hear your neighbors and their doors slamming all the time. The neighborhood itself is very dirty.It's a good choice if you don't care about cleanness and comfort and just look for a place for an overnight. They left new towels on our doorstep, on the floor... what else can be expected after this. Reception boys are kind and helpful but hotel itself is a bit stressing

Location is perfect, just 10 minutes walking distance from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and very close to the bohemian quarter by the sea and riviera. We enjoyed extraordinary view during our breakfast on the roof top, served by a very friendly waiter. The manager, Laziz, gave us precious recommendations regarding night cruize, turkish bath and airport transportation that were highly appreciated!

Our second time here, for nearly a week. Excellent view, excellent location in Old Town, comfortable bed, and fantastic terrace on the top level.The rooms could use more places to put your luggage bags without having to use the floor to lay them out. And there is only one chair that is basically unuseable.

Big enough room for 3 people.Very hot.Staf very helpful.Water bottles in the room.

Could have been a little more clean.

Great location in the heart of Kumkapi, walking distance to restaurants, shopping and grand Bazaar. Sea view rooms. Fantastic staff always smiling. Specially Nooryuddin. Lovely breakfast facing the sea. Recovery for issues is great. True hospitality.

Needs to upgrade Aircon machines.

Near by many restaurants and supermarket. working distance to the bazzar.

I booked triple suite in that include 1queen bed and 1 single bed but once I reached hotel they took extra charge for kids for the same room. Each day 30 euro.im very dispointed.Bathroom and TV very small. No proper internet connection.

The rooms were comfy, with water bottles, tea and coffee being resupplied every day. The towels are provided and changed for new ones every day.The breakfast was amazing. The ingredients were fresh and plentiful. The terrace at the top provides a great view over the suburbs and the sea.The staff was helpful and genuinely nice to talk to.Awesome choice for a hotel near the city center with an amazing view and the price-to-quality ratio!

The cleanliness level should be higher. There were multiple dust bunnies all around the room, probably from the bottom of the bed.

We were able to do the check in earlier than was written on the website, the staff was kind and really helpful

Not their fault but at night there was some construction noise on the street, maybe we were just unlucky with that

I'm writing the whole truth!;)The hotel certainly needs renovation for a long time!It is located in the work area opposite the old Greek church, but the street is small and quiet enough, we slept very well.The bed linen is clean.There are no sockets near the bed.The towels are old.The room had very good heating, because it was the end of December.Bathroom is very small,The walls in the bathroom were dirty with dry snot ((The ceiling in the bathroom was mildewed.The refrigerator was broken, which was very important for us and I asked it before our arrival.Upstairs there is a terrace with a beautiful view of the sea and the breakfasts were very delicious and varied in the Turkish style, there were many different plates and a hot omelet.Thanks them in the kitchen !The guys at the reception can speak Russian and special thanks to Laziz, who arranged for us to transfer between the airports in comfortable small bus for reasonable money because the usual yellow taxi from the airport told us the amount of 35 € from Sabiha to the hotel, but when we got to the hotel he said 65€.From the hotel It takes 15 minutes to walk to the Blue Mosque.

The walls in the bathroom was dirty and the ceiling was mildewed . The refrigerator was broken, which was very important for us this days,and before that I asked them in chat in “booking” when booked this room:// There are no sockets near the bed.

The hotel is located in the centre of the city, very close to the Mosque. Staff is really kind and helpful. They organise for us a cab to the airport.

The room is nicely furnished, however the bathroom is not and it doesn’t match. It could have been cleaned deeper, but was fine for 1 night stay.

Staff is great, very kind. We had to leave early because of our flight so staff made us sandwiches because we couldn’t make it to the breakfast.

ONLY the water pressure in the shower and the helpful reception staff. Nothing else.

More a hostel than a hotel - looked like a dingy brothel. Worst pillows I've ever experienced - flat & cheap - we asked for 2 extra and were refused. The walls were so thin you could hear everything from the rooms next door. The maids would try to enter the room for turn-down service early in the morning while we were still alseep, then not return again. The single time we had a turndown service, they didn't replenish our toilet roll, tea and coffee, or soap. Having to request toilet paper by announcing it in front of strangers in a hotel lobby is just undignified.

Bad

Place doesn’t look same as on the picture, bathroom is not clean and it’s old. I wouldn’t recommend it We checked in, and we stayed only until we found another hotel, and when I requested for money return they didn’t want to do it.

It is a very good value for money and the staff is very kind. The sea view is amazing and the breakfast is good. We had a great stay and the bed and the shower are fine. If you want to stay in a great location with an amazing view and don’t mind older facilities then this is great stay!

However, it is a little outdated and uncomfortable to our (Dutch) standards. The hotel looks like it is a little older and could use some renovations. But then again about everything we saw in Istanbul looks like that so we assumed that it was the standard there.

Good staff, amazing breakfast, great value for money.

Location is perfect for exploring Istanbul.

Internet was down for some time, water was also out for some time.

The only good thing about the hotel was the staff and the view. Unfortunately that doesn't compensate for the bad points.

What to start with?- the commodities: nothing in the bathroom to put your soap or toothbrush. It shouldn't cost a lot to make it more comfortable. Even the toilet paper doesn't have a holder. The door needs a repair too. - the internet signal : terrible. The signal is not coming to the room with more than two bars and even if it comes, it's unstable. Sometimes completely missing.- the terrace has a good internet signal, unfortunately the only time when I tried to work there, the owners of the hotel decided to have a meeting and they started to fight. When I went back to my room, two floors down, the sounds of a physical fight got even there. It is just inadmissible to disturb your guest's peace in such a way. - in general the whole hotel is a bit old, looks like nothing was touched there for years.
