“Hotel really close to main attractions”

Nice hotel, air conditioning noisy, unfortunately poor breakfast. Staff friendly Walking distance to main attractions

“It’s all about the location”

It’s low priced and therefore the offer is pretty basic but seeing as didn’t come to Istanbul to sit in a hotel that didn’t really bother us. The main issue we had was noise. It may be we were unlucky but we were in room 305 and we could hear everything from the room next door, the room above and… more

It’s low priced and therefore the offer is pretty basic but seeing as didn’t come to Istanbul to sit in a hotel that didn’t really bother us. The main issue we had was noise. It may be we were unlucky but we were in room 305 and we could hear everything from the room next door, the room above and from the halls so we didn’t have a single good nights sleep in the 4 nights we were here. Having said that if you’re armed with earplugs and are a deep sleeper then this hotel is just moments from the Blue Mosque and all the major sites in this part of town. Don’t think you could ask for a better location if you’re in town to explore the historic centre.

“Left distress”

The hotel’s location is spot on — it’s within walking distance of the main attractions in Sultanahmet, and the tram line that takes you almost everywhere in Istanbul is just a 5-minute walk away.

The hotel’s location is spot on — it’s within walking distance of the main attractions in Sultanahmet, and the tram line that takes you almost everywhere in Istanbul is just a 5-minute walk away. Breakfast was okay, though the selection was limited and the same every day. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable throughout our stay. The staff were generally polite and friendly, except on our last day. We had booked an airport transfer through the reception two nights before our flight, requesting a 2:30 pm pickup for our 5 pm departure. However, when the time came, the driver never showed up. The hotel staff kept assuring us that he was stuck in traffic and would arrive in 20 minutes, but by 3 pm there was still no sign of him. We started to panic and kept asking for updates — they continued to say “10 more minutes.” By 3:10 pm, we decided to arrange our own transport, knowing it might be expensive. Unfortunately, we ended up having to take two taxis, which cost a total of €170 for the eight of us. What disappointed us most was that the hotel staff didn’t apologize, even though it was their booking and their responsibility to ensure a reliable transfer. A word of advice to future guests: don’t book your airport transfer through the hotel — arrange it yourself in advance. Also, a small inconvenience — when my friends asked for two key cards per room, the staff refused, saying they didn’t have enough. Overall, we were disappointed by how our stay ended.
