Emek Hotel allowed us to check in at 9:00 am which is amazing. My kids were awake every morning by 3:30 so we naturally had breakfast by 4:30 am and headed to the mosque for prayer. The location is ideal and close to many things, Hagia Sofia and Sultan Ahmet are a 13 minute walk, Yeni Dzamija is a 15 minute walk, a boat ride of the phosphorus is 13 minute walk, etc. In terms of the hotel, they have the cutest elevator. This is an older hotel and the rooms are not the biggest but it is still very comfortable. We had one queen size bed and two fulls along with 4 pieces of luggage in our room - it was a little snug. There was not a bath but the water pressure in the showers was amazing and was able to warm up to really hot water very fast. The sheets and the bed are so comfortable and snug- the quality of the bedding is amazing that my kids fell asleep every night in a matter of minutes. I don’t like my room cleaned everyday so I appreciated that the staff was not pushing their own agenda on cleaning my room but whenever I needed something, like towels or the room cleaned, I used google translate to ask and they did it right away. The thing I loved the most about this hotel is that is a family run business and it’s very close knit family. They are very attentive and caring for the people staying here and I am sure that such service is very hard to find in Istanbul! Thank you Emek Hotel for your hospitality!
