The facility Need to be improved

As we arrived at the hotel, we found out that the we had a toilet problem in our room. The water keep running after we flushed. After we complained the water was stop from running but in the other way we can't use the toilet again because there was no water to be flushed. And the woman at the bfast room seems unhappy doing her job.

Nice hotel close to historic sites of Istanbul

Good clean hotel. Some confusion about whether we had pre-paid for the room but that could have been a fault of Expedia.com with whom we booked the hotel. It was very close to the Little Aya Sophia Mosque & the major tourist sites of the city.

THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE YOU BOOK WITH THIS HOTEL!

I booked through Expedia and was told that the cost of the hotel would be taken off my credit card a few days before my departure. On arrival at the hotel, I was asked to pay for my stay in advance. This caused me trouble as I had to use my spending money cash for payment. I also asked if I could check out late on my last day due to an evening return flight. I had this request written on my booking. On my last day I was asked to check out at 12 noon and I hadtoshow them my booking with the request before they let me check out later. The owner is never around and the level of English spoken is poor. There was a constant smell in the bathroom and some of the fixtures and fittings were broken. The lighting was very poor both in the room and reception area. The WIFI has connectivity problems!

nice hotel, very close to blue mosque

this hotel was very good. particularly roberto, the main english speaking staff there, who went out of his way to help me and my friend. He was always at hand to recommend places to see. give directions, deliver an iron to my room, order taxis, tell me about a good price. when I couldnt print my tickets from my i-pad- i simply emailed them over. he went out of his way, allowed me to use thier computer at no extra charge. he was just a perfect example of a good host. Always cheerful!

The hotel did not recieve us even after prior confirmation by phone 24 hrs before arriving to Istanbul. After arriving they try to give us a different hotel very low dirty and a bad neighborhood. What they try to do forcing us to pay for the room nights without availability imagine Staff does speak English nor Arabic and they expect people to speak Turkish . Overall bad service and fake reservation

Good price, best location

Good stay. The price is right, but the best part is the location without a doubt. All tourist sights are walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. I would stay again if I came again and I would recommend my friends. The staff is helpful and (decently but not overly) friendly. The room is clean and comfortable, maybe a little small, but it didn't bother me because I didn't have high expectations.

Very friendly, very helpful and very convenient!

Looking for reasonably priced accommodation in Istanbul was difficult so we were delighted when we found this hotel in such a great location. We stayed in this hotel from 18th - 22nd Oct 2013. Only a short walk from Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. The bedrooms were small but clean and convenient with interesting style decor. The hotel staff are excellent, super friendly and always ready to help in whatever way necessary. In our case we have much to thank the hotel manager for always being so kind and helpful and even changed our room 3 times to make our stay more relaxing. We were really appreciative of their efforts to make our stay in their hotel such a comfortable and memorable experience. The many restaurants in the area provide a good range of convenient dining options. If you are budgeting then this is a good deal. Breakfast on the terrace was lovely!

Not Recommended to anybody

Me and my wife had a terrible experience. When we arrive there our room was given to somebody else. So firstly the owner try to make me pay for the full period. I did not do that and demand to see the room first. Then he inform me that he is going to put us in another hotel for one night and our room will be available the next day. Then he show us the room. It was so small that we could not get our two suit cases in the room. when you want to open the door to the bathroom I had to take our two suitcases in the passage(The next day I compare the photo on the internet with what I have seen). People must be very careful when they look at a photo of a room on the internet. Try to measure the distance between the bed and the walls of the room.

Great staff/Pure 3 star/Decent location

The reception went out of its way everyday to make my stay pleasant. They arranged shuttles, helped with directions and got me dinner delivered when I was hungry late at night. The hotel is a decent uphill walk to the main square in the old city. It took about 10 mins to get there everyday after a cool walk. There are lots of places to eat nearby. However, the area is very sketchy and would not recommend walking around late at night. The rooms were the worst part of the hotel. Small, cramped with run down furniture & a hard bed. The shower stall had mildew and mold everywhere along its corners and lots of counters tops etc were dirty/unwiped. I asked for a room change after the first night but the second room, although larger, was not much better and had a horrid smell.

Does not match online description, very dirty

Our stay at this "hotel" was just horrible. When you book a room there, you should know that some of their rooms are not in the actual hotel, but across the street. We wanted to book a boutique hotel in Istanbul and we didn't expect too much, just the basics - clean bed, our own bathroom, hair dryer, a mirror in the bathroom, all of which was listed in the room description. So, we thought we would get a standard room in a hotel. Instead, we were given a "room" across the street. The only things that were in the room were a bed with a filthy cover, a tv and one night stand. No AC so air was stuffy.This room was on the second floor, connected to another room with closets in there that contained somebody's dirty socks and clothes. This was connected to a small kitchen that was dirty and had empty bottles in the drawers. Bathroom: had used feminine products in the trash that wasn't emptied and long black hair on the floor. Used slippers there.The water from the shower came right over the toilet so you had to stand next to the toilet to take shower. There was no mirror whatsoever which made it very challenging to get ready. There was no hair dryer even though the description said there will be one and I didn't take mine. This resulted in having to go to bed with wet hair and runny nose. In the middle of the night we were awaken by two drunk girls who were staying the room next door and noone told us we were sharing the place with them. Our stay there ruined Istanbul for us.

Decent hotel

For the price paid the hotel was decent and clean. The hotel staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, there was some mix up on the first day as I believe they had double booked us. We were offered an alternative accommodation that was not suitable to our needs. We did eventually get the room we needed. It was a basement room and all things considered it wasn't that bad. The location of the hotel was great as it was close to the main attractions.
