The hotel was older with all the little quirks of an older establishment. Our room was clean and comfy with a seating area and a coffee table. The air condioner worked great after a long day walking around. The location was awesome. 3 minute walk your are in the heart of old Istanbul without all the noise. The staff were helpful and very friendly all the time.

Budget friendly, Perfect location!

I received a good service in terms of price-performance. Given how cheap it was, I should be fair about the quality and service, which is very important. They didn’t charge me for the six cups of coffee I had. It's budget-friendly and located very close to the heart of Istanbul, so I recommend it.

Paid for a king bed at the hotel, got a room with three smaller beds in a building behind the hotel. Came back on the third day to a guy in our room. The reception worker was nice, and the location was excellent. However, I also got mildly electrocuted in the shower.

Honestly, it was disappointing. The room was extremely small, barely enough space for one double bed and a tiny wardrobe. The bed itself was broken, and the mattress was stiff, uneven, and very uncomfortable. To make things worse, the room was full of ants. There were no curtains, so the street lights kept the room bright all night. On the positive side, the receptionist was very kind, spoke perfect English, and tried her best to help us. The hotel was also located in a nice neighborhood in Sultanahmet, close to public transportation

The location is great but that's about it! The property is very old and needs a lot of repairs. The lady at reception is VERY LOUD! They don't consider the time and when people are sleeping. She would be yelling at 1am . We asked several times for our rooms tvs to be fixed but that never happened. I really wish I had read the reviews before booking. I would pay a bit more and get a better hotel.

This is not a 4 star hotel, more like a 2 star at most. The staff are friendly and helpfull. That is the only positive thing. The building is very old, and the over all standard is not even close to a 3 star hotel. Don't know how they can call it a 4 star hotel. The worst was the experiance of the airport transfer. I booked and prepaid for hotel transfer at 06:00 in the morning. The taxi came 45 minutes late. I allmost missed the flight. I never got any explain for the reason, but I think they forgot to call the taxi.

I don’t usually write bad reviews. But we booked a connecting room for a week in July 2026. Rooms are nothing like shown in the pictures. WiFi doesn’t work half the time. The beds and mattress are so bad, mold smell is filled the place, furniture is in a very bad shape and very old. The base of the bed is made up of separate wood panels. When we arrived there was no one to help we had to go to the store near by to check in. They gave me a number to text to ask for the wifi since the one they give you when you book doesn’t work. The person on the WhatsApp number who’s the owner I believe when I asked for extra pillow and clean bed sheet he didn’t even bother to reply, some lights didn’t work at all with wiring out the walls and ceiling. As you can tell and see from older reviews on here, they don’t even care to reply. No one greets you at all. WiFi stopped working 70% of the time. There’s holes in the wall. A big refrigerator that had a bad smell and seems like hasn’t been used for years. Overall I would never recommend. They need to either update their pics or do a full remodel. Customer service goes a long way but there was zero service. Bathroom faucet comes out in your hand. Not sure how this is a 4 hotel honestly. Even a one star rating shouldn’t be assigned.
