I felt like i was camping in Istanbul. The bed was rock hard and the pillow not much softer. And, as the water heater was broken, all showers were done with cool water. It does wake you up, but not what i was looking for. It took five days of our six day stay to get hot water. Istanbul was great, but i would skip the hotel.

Super Staff

It was a fantastic stay. The staff was super helpful. Ali gave us an excellent overview of the city and all the tourist spots. Even gave us tips to save money in shopping and dining. Gave free maps. Arranged sunset bosphorous cruise tour and airport pickup for us. I couldnt have asked for a better and more helpful person esp while travelling with my family with 3 under 10 kids. The hotel is conveniently located within 5-10 min walk of Sultan Ahmet square. Surrounded by many shops and restaurants. It was an excellent decision to pick this hotel over others as there were many options when I was making reservation. I highly recommend it.

이스탄불 올드타운과 근접한 위치여서 관광하기 좋습니다. 문제는 숙소 내에 물곰팡이 냄새가 심하다는 것입니다. 냄새에 민감하신 분은 곤란할 듯 싶습니다. 주변에 밥 먹고, 차 마시고, 눈요기할 것들은 많습니다. 트램 역도 걸어서 7~10분 거리에 있어서 좋았습니다.

Et godt alternativ.

Hotellet ligger meget godt plassert. Det har meget vennlig betjening og er rett ved severdigheter og mange restauranter. Standarden er bra, men litt slitt. Nettet fungerer bra. Det er noe trafikk-støy, men akseptabelt. Dette er et godt alternativ for de som reiser til Istanbul og vil få med deg ting uten å måtte betale alt for mye.

Nao recomendo!!

As fotos nao dizem nada sobre o local. Estavamos em lua de mel, reservamos baseado em avaliacoes de dois anos atras e nos surpreendemos negativamente. O hotel cheira a mofo, super desagradavel e nao tinha nem cafe da manha. Foi bastante decepcionante! O atendimento foi atencioso e a localizacao é excelente, os unicos dois pontos positivos.

Grim lugt på gangene og væggelus

Værelser er gode, men der er en grim lugt i hotellet: på gangene og på badeværelset, men ikke værelserne. Fik først værelse i stuen, men der var væggelus: fandt 3 indenfor få minutter, kun en halv time efter vi var flyttet ind. Fik straks andet værelse, uden væggelus, men så to kakkerlakker i løbet af opholdet. Køleskabet køler ikke meget. Der tales flydende engelsk i receptionen, og de er hjælpsomme, men forstod ikke rigtigt problemet med at finde morgenmad. Inden for 5 minutter af 2 historiske moskeer: en af Sinan, og en konverteret kirke fra 536.

It was okay

The staff was friendly and very helpful. This hotel is a little older, needs a little updating paint and furniture. Could be a little cleaner, and there were four to five insects in my room. Oh and part of my shower door was missing.

受付のスタッフが親切で感じが良かったです。空港までのタクシーも問題なく手配してくれ、出発時間なども気にかけてくださいました。 設備は古く、一部壊れている箇所がありますが、機能はします。バスルームのシャワードアが壊れていましたが一応閉められます。そもそもこの手のドアは壊れやすいようです。 交通量の多い通りに面しているので、朝早くから騒がしいですが、肝心の23時〜6時くらいまでは特に音が気にならず、ちゃんと眠れました。

Room stubo of mould and we eventually started to have breathing difficulties in tie property. The next day all of us were ill. Were were given a refund for the remainder of our night but this ruined our stay in istanbul. We has a 1 year old infant with us. It is very irresponsible to gove a room in this condition to anyone, yet alone a family with a child. There was also a thick layer of dust above the ac, lighting and very dirty rug in the room. We eventually found another property across the road that was both cheaper and much cleaner.
