You get room that you didn't book!!

AVOID IT AT ALL COST!! I booked a standard room and when I arrived at the hotel, the receptionist gave me an economy room and gave my brother a room underground! When I complained he told me either take it or leave. Wow, that's the worst service I've ever got. Luckily, I've contacted Hotels.com customer service the following day and got my booking cancelled. Other customers also complained about the hotel and stuff. I don't recommend it to anyone even for free. I will attach some pictures of the room. Rooms not clean and in bad conditions.Very bad service and stuff.

Poor quality

The only advantage of the hotel is the location, walking distance from the bazaar and other main attractions. Staff was also OK but beside that nothing justifies the 4star ranking.
Rooms are very small (a big suitcase can barely fit around the bed) and they looked significantly worse than the pictures - very used furniture and kind of dirty.
The biggest disappointment was caused by the facilities that were listed on the booking but which we couldn't benefit from - WiFi and jacuzzi on the terrace. The WiFi was extremely bad which they explained with a so called network in the entire neighbourhood, however, other hotels or restaurants had perfect service...The jacuzzi was working only partially and when we complained that the water is not warming up they told us that this jacuzzi is not running on hot water but just \"a little hot\"...40 minutes later, they temperature had only rise up to 22 degrees Celsius...
Breakfast was also a disappointment: only a few choices, most of them cold, orange juice made from instant powder, the tomatoes looked like they had been cut into slices days ago and other similar extremely low quality products....Nonetheless, we had to clean one of the tables for ourselves one morning because the staff didn't bother to take care of that.
All in all, this was very far from what we expected from a 4 star hotel and I would recommend it, except for the location aspect. Had better experiences is lower ranked hotels.

Small fridges leaked water on the floor of both rooms and when reported it was not acknowledged.

The pictures were unfortunately all false, the stairs carpet was all torn, the ceiling height was extremely low, entering room I had a real shock, room had no blanket (!), nothing in minibar, the bed filled the whole room, like in a cheap cruiseship cabin, shower doors were broken, showerhead was propably original 90 years old, a lot of dirt and dust around all the corners and chairs. The location is quite central but that didn't help anything really. I didn't want to stay even one night because I booked a 4 star hotel, not 2 star.

Spring break trip

The hotel was fine but not very comfortable. There were two of us and the room was so small that we could not keep our luggage in the room as there was no where to store it. There was barely any room to walk around the bed area. The location is convenient but our room was on the street side of the building and it was terribly busy and loud, making any relaxing with the window open impossible.

Housekeeping did not seem to clean the floor (wood floors) very well. Dirt was tracked when we came out of the shower. No fan in the bathroom for ventilation.

Hotel staff was pleasant and helpful but their English was very limited.

Great hotel in the heart of the old city

Ratings were overall positive but don't usually stay at small hotels like this - wasn't sure what to expect. This hotel had small differences which made a big difference for me - great water pressure, upgraded (if small) bathrooms, a/c that could chill a room in minutes, and an above average buffet breakfast. WiFi was strong and the staff here go out of their way to be helpful and kind. I blew my travel charger (don't ask) and they kindly offered me a usb adaptor to charge my phone - didn't even hesitate. They recommended a fantastic restaurant just down the road. Room as small (standard euro size small) and the street can be a bit loud - but these were minor things. Only downside - this isn't the easiest hotel to locate since it's in a very old part of the city. Follow their instructions and you'll be all right. Very convenient to tramway, but I found their location was easy walking distance to everywhere - a pleasant stroll of about 15 minutes gets you to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

Good location

The room is very small. Double bed is about 3 feet away from the door so that's what you see as soon as you open the door. The room is very small, oh I said that already. The double bed is in the middle of the room and one side of the bed has the main door and also the door to the bathroom so it has about 3 feet of space. But the other 2 sides of bed is probably only 1.5 feet. Once I opened the suitcase the room has tiny space to walk around. And the description says there are slippers and bathrobes but it's not true. The room didn't have a luggage rack either. And the wardrobe only had 3 hangers. The bathroom is also small. There's a toilet, a shower, and a sink, and in the middle of those 3, there's a small space to open the bathroom door. It's almost like public bathroom that you have to squeeze yourself to get out between the toilet and the door. The breakfast is a joke. Hotel employees are kind except for one person but that's fine because we didn't really need any help anyway.
Enough with the bads...
The location is really good. The area is safe even at night. Only thing though because it's so close to local shops the streets get a bit dirty at night but just empty boxes and packaging garbage stuff, nothing smelly. The rooftop of the hotel is nice. The in-room safe is kind of smaller than any other hotels we've been. If I go to the area again, I will try to find a hotel near here but I will never stay at this hotel.

Mostly good, but some glaring problems

I booked a larger room for two separate trips to Istanbul, but the hotel kept coming up with excuses about how it is being worked on. This is not just one trip, but over two different stays (2 months apart) at this hotel.

The Standard Room is very clean and tiny. You will barely have enough room to stand up in the room. Don't try to squeeze two people in one room.

Bathroom is European standard (small for Americans), and very clean.

Breakfast provides a nice variety of spreads, pastries and more.

Basic hotel, fantastic location

Hotel in a great location midway between Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque. Hotel shuttle provided for a reasonable cost. Rooms small but very clean. However not well insulated and can literally hear everything. Turning on room heater/air and donning earplugs helps. There is no very from rooms but has a rooftop terrace with great views of Sea of Marmara and Blue Mosque. Breakfast is edible but not much more than that, very basic, though its included. Thing to be aware of is street is closed to vehicle traffic until 6pm. If you arrrive prior a taxi will not get through and you will have a 5 min walk on old cobblestone streets uphill with luggage. Also the hotel can not be relied on to find a reasonable taxi service for you should you need one in Istanbul.

I have not got a bad word to say about this hotel and will definately be staying there again.

Good place for a short stay

Staff was amazingly polite and helpful. We got a really tiny room but it worked for us as we only had carry on baggage with us. Breakfast was good.

Anniversary celebration

Could not have picked a better hotel in which to spend our wedding anniversary. Loved the staff and loved Istanbul. Good breakfast . Staff allowed us the use their facilities to check in on line. Surrounding area did not look much, but area was save and central. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Çok şey söylemek geliyor içimden ama bir çalışanın hatırına kısa keseceğim. Odam birinci katta idi (Oda no:91), 05 Şubat 2024 tarihinde girdim. perdeler kısa olunca yataktan dışardakileri, dışardakiler de yatağın içini görebiliyor. Terlik yoktu. resepsiyona sordum kalmamış dedi. Bakıp dönerim dedi aramadı. 10dk sonra indim. Kalmamış birşey yapamam dedi 20li yaşlardaki çalışan. Olabilir mi öyle şey, lütfen bulun dedim. Nasıl banyoya gireceğim diye sorunca bana, odayı internetten ayırdınız, orada odada terlik var yazmıyor! dedi. Gecenin 12sinde benden terlik istiyorsun deyince, saat 2200 da giriş yaptım. Lütfen bulun dedim. Odaya çıktım 10dk sonra 2 çift terlikle geldi. Lütfen çalışanlarınızı dost ahbap, yiğen vs değil de eğitimli kişilerden seçin. Kahvaltı çok iyi idi. Otelin konumu da çok iyi. Gece uyurken resepsiyonda bağırarak konuşmalar olmasaydı temiz olan yatakta belki uyuyabilirdik. Daha yazacaktım ama çıkışta bizi uğurlayan beyefendi hatırına. Şşşşşşş!

Mi chica operada y 3 noches sin dormir y sin poder descansar, el colchón totalmente hundido , se lo comuniqué el primer día y me dijo que lo sentían y que nos lo iban a a cambiar , nos pusieron otro que estaba igual .
Se lo vuelvo a comunicar de madrugada ya que no podíamos dormir le pregunté también si había alguna posibilidad de cambiar de habitación , no me importaba pagar la diferencia, su respuesta fue “ no puedo hacer nada , I’m sorry my friend’ . Al día siguiente salimos del hotel y cuando volvimos por la tarde nos encontramos un colchón usado en la puerta de la habitación , metido dentro de una bolsa de plástico llena de polvo , nos lo dejaron allí para que lo cambiáramos nosotros mismo , fue horrible la situación, mi chica recién operada y yo sacando un colchón doble entre los dos para poner otro , y lo peor de todo es que estaba igual , hundido por dentro , tengo fotos de los dos colchones .
Nunca más !! Hotel de 4 estrellas??? No debería ni llamarse hotel . Lo único bueno la ubicación

Ich würde das Hotel nicht empfehlen.

Das Hotel entspricht nicht den Bildern, es ist sehr Herruntergekommen . Badezimmer bröckelt der Putz und die Farbe, Schwarzer Schimmel im Bad, Klimaanlage voll verstaubt und verdreckter Filter, ein Kleiderschrank den man nicht nutzen kann, man lebt aus dem Koffer. Die Dachterasse ist auch nicht wie auf den Bilder, Keine Tische und Stühle dafür aber genug Sachen abgestellt, wird wohl als Lager oder Müllplatz verwendet. Dafür das es sehr Central und Günstig ist darf ansonsten nichts vom Hotel erwarten. Es ist auch sehr Hellhörig so das man morgens um 5:00 aufgeweckt wird.

Keine Hilfe durch die Mitarbeiter. Die Gepäcke mussten wir selbst rauf und runter tragen.
Die Zimmer sind sehr sehr klein. Die Vorhänge sind sehr alt und zerrissen. Haarföhn funktioniert nicht. In der Dusche kommt nur sehr heisses Wasser oder sehr kaltes Wasser. Die Zimmer stanken nach Rauch obwohl es Raucherfreie Zimmer waren.
Das Frühstück ist sehr klein gehalten. Nur normale kleine Brote, kein Simit oder andere Brotarten was man normalerweise an einem traditionellen türkischen Frühstück erwartet. Schokoladen Aufstrich, Tomaten, Gurken, weiss Käse und Oliven waren vorhanden. Die Früchte lagen warscheinlich seit 2 Wochen dort und sahen sehr unappetitlich aus. Wir mussten daher immer draussen essen.

wir wollen keine Nacht in dem Hotel verbringen entspricht überhaupt nicht den Bildern und ist sehr schmutzig, und unhygienisch. Sieht’s Bilder. Es ist ein Katastrophaler Zustand, wir können hier nicht eine Nacht bleiben und mussten auf eigene Kosten das Hotel wechseln. Dazu kommt, dass der Hotelbesitzer nicht mal einen Check out zulässt und mich zwingt das Zimmer bis zum 1. 12.2021 in Anspruch zu nehmen

Ich habe eine Quittung der neuen Bleibe als Beweis das wir nicht in diesem Hotel geblieben sind und selbst auf den inklusiven Frühstück aufgrund des unhygienischen Zustand verzichtet haben.

All the hotel staff were very helpful and polite.
Unfortunately the hotel is not as shown in the photos !!!
It was raining the day we went. Water entered our room from the window because it was damaged and did not close completely.
The curtains were tangled.
The heating did not work, it was only air-conditioned, but it did not emit hot air.
Breakfast was not satisfactory at all. We went to eat on the first day and we were disappointed, we did not eat. Breakfast included eggs, bread, tomatoes and some cold cuts.

The location of the hotel is very good, but it is not enough.

Malesef Pis ve Bakımsız

Odamız gerçekten pisdi. Cam kenarında kullanılmış kulak çöpü vardı =( sanırım halen duruyordur. Banyo tuvalet temziliği vasat. Tuvaletde tuvalet fırçası yoktu. Çeşmeler kireç içerisindeydi . Silikonlar siyahlaşmıştı. Kendinizi suriyeli gibi hissediyorsunuz , Yani bir yere sığınmış gibi. Tabi bu fiyata 5 yıldızlı otel konforu beklenemez lakin temizliğin fiyatla alakası olamaz.

Yatağın bir tarafı çökmüştü, Duş bildiğin iplik gibi akıyor, Otelde hidrofor yoktu.

Banyonun iç kısmındaki duşakabinin kapısı acık sürekli, Cünkü kapısı yoktu sökmüşler sanırım yada kırılmış, Öyle olunca WC kısmıda ıslanıyor.

İçerde terlik yok, banyoya koyulacak bir ayak havlusu yok ,

Konumu gerçektnen çok iyi, Temiz olsa ve suyu normal yıkanabilecek tazzikte olsa hiçbir sorun olmayacaktı bizim açımızdan. Çokta bişey istemedik =)

Rezalet!

Oda temizliği vasat, yerde sigara külü veya ona benzer uçuşan şeyler vardı. Banyo ve tuvalete girmedim bile. Duvarlarların her yerinde ayakkabı izleri vardı, televizyon süs gibi konulmuş kumandası bile çalışmıyordu. Ufak bir buzdolabı var ve o kadar kirli, pis duruyor ki açmaya korkuyorsunuz. Covid kuralları gereği oda kullanımdan sonra 1 gün boş bırakılıyormuş, yalan. Odalar ses geçirmez yazılmış 1. kattan 2. kattaki odada konuşulanları duymayı bırakın anlıyorsunuz bile.

Fiyatına göre çok beğendik

Fiyatına göre gayet güzel bir otel konum olarak mükemmel tek sorun oda da toz sıkıntısı olması bence bu da normal kahvaltısı mükemmeldi ve çalışanları ilgili
