Construction were happening around the hotel site. Hotel is excellent condition, no noise issues in the evening, but surrounding was not pretty to look at. Overall good for crashing for the night, and head out. Great value due to excellent breakfast. Very helpful staff.

Book it!

Not usually someone who write reviews, but Rumours deserves it! Great location for Sultanahmet sights, nice spacious room (we had a triple), fantastic Turkish breakfast, and staff that went above and beyond to help when my bag was late arriving after it was left behind by my airline. Would whole-heartedly recommend! I do a lot of research when booking accommodations so I hope this can help others coming to Istanbul!

Rumours Inn, A Writers Dreamland!

Lets start from the entrance and it was the most warmest and coziest lobby in whole istanbul, period. I will explain the pro and growth opportunities below: pro: 1. View from the room, 2. Distance to All the locations 3. Staffs are friendly, still remember Mesut, Kareem and other amazing people and their service [they give good recommendations, just ask] 4. Great breakfast, 5. Clean room and perfect temperature! Growth opportunity: 1. Bathrooms are very cramped, 2. Stairs are very narrow. 3. High end rooms are smaller than expected! Overall, I will choose Rumours Inn at any day over any other places in Istanbul
