Very nice hotel in a perfect location. It does say the rooms are soundproofed but the call to prayer each morning being played outside is very loud and will wake you up early. But a minor point. Overall a very good stay and I would happily stay here again, and recommend to others visiting Istanbul.

If you are a Budget Traveler you should definitely consider the Sistina Old City. The hotel is modern, clean and a great value. The staff is very friendly and helpful and clearly well trained. You can arrange a shuttle to/from either airport for the common rate of €50 each way. Check In and Check Out are a breeze no matter what time you arrive. I arrived at 04:00 and the hotel was full. While I dozed in the lobby someone checked out and they had a clean room ready for me at 09:00. My room was small, but not awkwardly so, clean and quite comfortable. The AC works very well and is very quiet. The bathroom is not too small, although at 6’2” 190 (1.9 M, 86 KG) the shower was almost a challenge, but still quite manageable. All of the rooms are going to be quiet as the hotel is on a lightly traveled street. The neighborhood lacks parking so you should check first. The neighborhood is quite nice. Two blocks away there is a street with shops, cafes, food markets and local restaurants. One more block to Ragip Gümüșpala and there excellent coffee houses, restaurants and stores. The main bus terminal is a short walk. The Spice Market and Grand Bazaar are not far away, and the No. 1 Tram that will get you to the mosques is about 20 to 30 minutes. With the nearby bus terminal, tram lines and metro, you can get around easily on public transit. My stay at the Sistina Old City was great and I highly recommend it.

Otelde konakladığımız süre boyunca gerçekten çok memnun kaldık. Daha ilk andan itibaren otel çalışanlarının ilgisi, nezaketi ve çözüm odaklı yaklaşımı bizi oldukça etkiledi. Her konuda yardımcı olmaya çalışmaları ve güler yüzlü olmaları konaklamamızı çok daha keyifli hale getirdi. Herhangi bir konuda destek istediğimizde hemen ilgilenmeleri gerçekten takdir edilecek bir durumdu. Otelin konumu da bizim için büyük bir avantaj sağladı. Çevresinde çok sayıda mağaza, kafe ve çeşitli işletmeler bulunuyor. Bu sayede ihtiyaç duyduğumuz her şeye çok kolay ulaşabildik. Birçok yere yürüyerek gidebilmek konaklamamızı oldukça rahat ve pratik hale getirdi. Genel olarak hem hizmet kalitesi hem de konumu açısından çok memnun kaldığımız bir konaklama deneyimi yaşadık. Misafirperverlikleri ve ilgileri için tüm otel ekibine teşekkür ederiz. Tekrar aynı bölgede konaklama planımız olursa gönül rahatlığıyla tercih edeceğimiz bir otel.
