Fatih at the front desk is a very sweet and helpful gentleman who told me about different location to see and to get there. The inn is in a great location for travellers. I was easily able to walk to the Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Bazaar & Arasta Bazaar and also get a meal at the ottomans kitchen restaurant which a few mins away by foot. The only issue I had was the tram that past by during the day when I wanted a nap but the night was quiet.

Had an excellent stay at Naz wooden house. Room 4 at the back was very spacious and clean, had a fridge and a comfortable double bed and sofa that converted into a slightly less comfortable bed (but workable by using the spare duvet as an extra cover). Bathroom was clean and all worked fine. Balcony at rear of room even provided a view of sliver of Bosporus! :) there is a new electric rail line going in behind the hotel but it isn’t up and running yet so heard no trains. There is a mosque not far from the rear of the hotel and the call to prayer can be a little noisy if early in morning, but for me it added to the amazing Istanbul experience! Budget hotel so wasn’t expecting luxury but got a friendly, clean and perfectly liveable room in a great location close to all the major Istanbul sights.

The property was clean and well maintained but it was too expensive for the size of the room. The room as well as the washroom were way too small. There was hardly any space to move around and for the price I paid, I would not expect such a small room.

I liked the view from my window, looking down on the neighbourhood street. It was fairly quiet, but there’s nowhere in Istanbul to escape the Muslim call to prayer through the loud speakers, so don’t expect total quiet! The stairs are very steep, but there’s a strong railing to ensure safety. The room is ultra small but has everything one would need. The shower could be an issue for a large person. I liked the breakfast very much. Lots of choices. And easy to walk to local sites. Good value for money.

good spot for exploring

its comfy, quiet (well not at 5:20am when the muezzins call - be prepared for that) in a great location to walk around the old town, literally stones throw from Blue Mosque. My room (single person) was very small but it was clean and had a fridge and kettle and a good heater which was needed at night (stayed in April), my only difficulty was the shower cubicle, i am 6foot tall weigh 90kgs and i could JUST get in and out of it - so no good for fatties. Daytime receptionist speaks good English, nighttime one doesn't seem to but all staff were friendly and helpful - would stay here again.

Good location - Tiny space

It was tricky to find the hotel on my first day since streets are not labeled, but the location is super convenient to tourist areas and public transportation. The bed and pillows were super uncomfortable so I had trouble sleeping at night and woke up sore in the mornings. I actually ended up using my own jacket as a pillow instead of using theirs. The bathroom was tiny. The shower was so small it was hard to wash my hair. A large person would not be able to fit through the shower doors or in front of the sink. But the place was clean and it was super convenient to have breakfast provided!

Great hotel close to all attractions

My wife and myself had a great 5-night stay at this charming hotel in Sultanahmet the first week of April 2015. The manager and the staff were incredibly polite and very helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was served in the top floor with sea views. The hotel was just a few minutes by walk from the Blue Mosque, the Aya Sofia museum and the Basilica Cistern- a little longer walk to the Grand Bazaar and Spice bazaar. The tram station was close by too. The hotel is located in the narrow, winding streets of the old city so walking around is the better option. There are numerous side-walk cafes and restaurants and it is a good idea to explore them by walking around. There is also a local bazaar- The Arasta bazaar- which seems like a mini Grand-Bazaar.

Great Location

I had one problem with this hotel. My girlfriend and her mother arrived about 18 hours after I did. I had asked the hotel by email and confirmed in person that I could go with the shuttle to meet my girlfriend and her mom at the airport. When I went to the front desk at the time I was told to be there to take the shuttle, I was told that the shuttle had already left for the airport and that it had not left from the hotel.
When my girlfriend and her mother arrived, they told me that the shuttle driver had my name on a piece of paper he was holding, rather than one or both of their names. My girlfriend was rather upset that I was not at the airport to meet her when she arrived. I didn't appreciate being told more than once that I could go with the shuttle only to be left behind.

The hotel is approx. 25 min drive away from the airport and walking distance from all the main spots like the Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque, Top kapi Palace and the Basilica Cystern.

The Breakfast was nice at the terrace with a good view of the sea and the blue mosque. The room was clean and comfortable for 2 people and the bathrooms were small but nice and clean. I would really recommend this place to people coming to istanbul on a budget plan!

Could see the Blue Mosque from our tiny room

The location of the hotel is wonderful, but as other reviewers have remarked, the rooms and the bathrooms are quite small, even bordering on claustrophobic. That being said, you're not in Istanbul to sit in your hotel room. The site was a 5 minute walk to the Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, and Cooking Alaturka (we heartily recommend it!) The stairs up to the balcony were rickety but worth it. Breakfast left much to be desired. Overall, it's hard to beat the location.

Istanbul with a difference

Great location for main attractions and only a 5 min walk to nearest tram stop. Guest House spotlessly clean although decor best described as \"shabby chic\". Rooms generally on the small size but fully equiped (air-con, fridge, kettle, etc). Staff very helpful and accommodating, particularly in advising what areas to avoid during the recent riots / civil unrest (early June 2013).Complimentary tea, coffee and home made cakes each afternoon on the terrace with views of the Blue Mosque and Bosporus made a welcome relief after a day tramping round the city - although the climb to the upper open roof terrace via the circular metal staircase is not for the feint hearted.

Extremely dishonest

My boyfriend and I reserved a double room, and when we were shown to our room it was so small that we couldn't even have our suitcases on the floor without blocking access to either the bathroom or the hallway.

I went down and asked the front desk about it, saying maybe they had put me in the wrong room. Turns out they had overbooked double rooms, and even though I had paid for a double they had put me in a single, charged me for a double, and weren't going to tell me!

After having read some other reviews I see that this is not the first time that this has happened - apparently this hotel loves overcharging for single rooms.

Although they were apologetic about it and switched my room the next day, they offered no money back or any kind of compensation. Had I not asked about it they never would have switched my room, and would have kept me in a single, while charging me for a double.

Meets expectations

A cute hotel with friendly staff in an area close to lots of restaurants and a short walk from blue mosque and aya Sofia. We had clean sheets and surfaces but under the bed needs a clean. It does sit on a train track and our room was on that side so comfort got a low score due to noise from this and a bed and shower that were a bit small for us. The hotel is old and would benefit from an update but we would stay again... On the side away from the train track.

Naz, an enjoyable place to stay at a great price

A small hotel (7 rooms) but in a great position., The staff were very welcoming and there was tea and coffee available after a busy day's sightseeing. Well placed for all of the major sights but on a quiet road. The railway runs at the back of the hotel but did not disturb us, though we had a front room. The views from the roof terrace and the breakfast room are wonderful and the buffet style breakfast was great. Our room was compact with no room to walk around the bed but we did not spend much time in it. The staff were very helpful and welcoming with excellent English. A very enjoyable stay at a great price.

Fantastic stay in Istanbul

The Naz Wooden House Inn was great- The front desk staff was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Everyone at the front desk was also quite proficient in English, which made conversation and questions easy.

The location was convenient- in close walking proximity to all the major sites and close to a transit stop. The hotel is also steps away from a small bazaar, which is fun to walk through along the way to the main sites and transit.

The hotel was very clean and our room was attended to everyday. Breakfast was included in the stay and we were pleasantly surprised by the variety (bread, fruit, eggs, yogurt, hot breakfast options, coffee, a variety of tea, juice) and had many substantial vegetarian options, which worked well for us.

We used the hotel's airport transportation at the tail end of our trip to return to the airport- We had to leave the hotel at 3:30am and are happy to report that our ride drove safely and was on time to pick us up, and had the added bonus of providing juice and breakfast along the way to the airport.

Overall, a great stay and we would recommend this hotel to our family and friends!

The hotel provides a tearoom upstairs so you can make yourself a hot drink at any hour of the day or night, and also runs a budget travel agency so you can get good-value tours and transfers. The immediate surroundings are pretty and well-appointed with lots of nice cafes, restaurants and a few backpacker bars.

Located in the old part of Istanbul within walking distance to all the tourist sites. Convenience without compromise. The hotel was fantastic. Personally I was annoyed at the young male concierge who was providing over night cover which was mostly due to the language barrier and professional culture.
