Tight squeeze

The location was excellent, only a 5 minute walk to Haghia Sophia Mosque. The room however was tight for 3 people. We were given a room on the 2nd floor which was like a loft type with a low ceiling on one end. My husband, son and me kept banging our heads on it, i got quite a nasty bang on the second day. Despite asking several times to change rooms the hotel would not as they said they had no spare rooms. The bathroom was also tight and awkward, no space to hang clothes whilst changing. There was no lift and after a long day out walking the last thing you wanted was to walk another 2 flight of stairs!

Pleasant with great location

The room was comfortable. Would have appreciated another layer of bedding, it was very thin. The bathroom needed some repair work (cheap building materials used which are worn out). But the location was fantastic and the price was competitive. The Continental breakfast had amazing atmosphere and we could all find something to eat and enjoy.

It was a very basic hotel attached to ‘The must’ restaurant, we had a small tv, a fridge, but didn’t really work as was warm, tap was wobbly in bathroom and I stood on a nail sticking up on the floor and there is no lift and after a hard day walking it was hard work climbing up two flights to our room but it was very very clean, the bed was so very comfy and staff were nice, breakfast staff were helpful and nice man on desk, area was spot on so all the minor things didnt bother us and I would happily stay here again

Pros: Very good location, between 2 tram stations and only few meters to the famous area of Sultanahmet with its all attractions including Ayasophia and Gulhana park. The hotel entrance is on the main street on Sultanahmet (flat ground - that matters if you're travelling with elders)

Ibrahim at the reception, was very kind to change our room to the 1st floor instead of 2nd (even though the only available room was bigger than what I booked), only to assist my mother who has a knee issues, while there's no elevator in the building.

Cons:
- Walls are not soundproof, you can hear everything from other rooms, and there's no sign of \"Quit hours\", we had hard time listening to noisy songs from the next room at 2am.

- No elevator.
- No water boiler (electric kettle) in the room, if you want to make yourself a cup of coffee, then you have to go down the stairs to hotel dining room.

- Only 2 power outlet in the room, one of them is not near the bed.

Central...nice...great staff

I am a tourist visiting from Jamaica. The hotel was really nice; the staff were very friendly and gave assistance when asked. Upon arrival we were offered refreshments, which was welcoming. The wifi is free, which was great!!!!!! The location was absolutely perfect. It's right near ALLLL that you need to see and eat. And they also have an airport bus which is dirt cheap comparing to other alternatives. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The only problem we had was that the road maintenance department was working late one night and we couldn't sleep for an hour or so.... And that's external to the hotel. Oh well...
Thanks again for a nice stay.

Отель старый, но расположение отличное

Отель старенький, номера соответственно тоже. Но белье постельное идеально чистое и в номере чисто. Песонал приветлив и доброжелателен.
Фотографии на сайте чуть лучше, чем все есть на самом деле. Я даже с первого взгляда не узнала реснпшн отеля.

Расположение отличное, прямо напротив Храма Святой Софии. Но близость трамвайных путей даёт о себе знать, слышно в номере очень.
