Overall was a good experience at the hotel and it was reasonably priced . The Plus points where it was Located 2-3 mins walk from blue masjid, most of the staff where friendly. House keeping came every day and the two lady where helpful. now for the not so good points. Room was small, furniture was out dated, breakfast did not have that much variety.

This property was really scary and pathetic. The images of the room that we got on the website while booking the room online was completely opposite that what we actually got the room in reality. The room was very small in size with 2 tiny beds for 2 adults. The room was full of mosquitoes in the night time and we couldn’t sleep properly during our stay. Besides, room was completely stinky and commode seat was broken which was sliding completely from right to left while using it.

We had to book another hotel at our another cost though we had booked this hotel for 2 nights.

Excellent location!

We stayed here for a week with our kids. The breakfast was okay. They have the traditional turkish breakfast with cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, egg, cheese and bread. Cereals for the kiddos. We checked in early, they were able to accommodate us 2 hours prior to checkin. Customer service was a little slow, but not terrible. The rooms are smaller, needs some repairs, holes on the walls and shower wasnt as clean as other hotels. After the first night i told my husband we need to check out and go someplace else.

However, upon exploring the area at night, we were surprised beyond belief. The hotel is literally a 2 minute walk to Arasta Bazaar! Maybe even less than that. Lovely, bright restaurants and cafes, tons and tons of shops. Happy about our discovery, we walked another 2-3 minutes and there was the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia! Every tourists dream. Since we stayed for a week, we saved SO much money just walking! Everything is literally right there! Nice Hanams (turkish bath), many many restaurants! Grand Bazaar was maybe a 15 minute walk. And right next door to the hotel is a Spa! Literally 3
5 steps away from the hotel. And even better, next to the spa is a travel agency where we booked our tickets to a dinner cruise. Sure the hotel isnt 5 star. But it was worth it for us. A place to sleep comfortably, have a simple breakfast, SAVE money. We ended up staying the entire time. Staff were friendly and gave us everything we needed. I will most definitely stay again!

Overall not met the requirements. The ac was orignally working. Requestes 2 x single beds per room but got 1 room with double. Advised and told them about the messages i sent yet they were like no. The breakfast was absolutly crap. The tea kept running out. The cake kept running out and eggs. When asked for more got told finished. They then gave us another room with 2 single beds. The room was small and cramped. The beds were not single beds and smaller than small beds. The ventilation was absolutely non existent. The staff werent very helpful at all. Asked for hot watee for tea but apparently they didnt have any. 30 mins later apparently hot water became existent. We took some cups in our room as we wanted to have tea. The staff came and kncoked on our door. I advised him allready told your receptionist and he said ok. Overall the experience was not good never mind excellent. Sink was cracked. The electric tripped.

worst hotel of my life and very dirty

Do not stay here. This is the worst hotel I have ever seen in my life. I understand that hotels across the world may not always be like US hotels but this place is terrible. Our room was a box and there was barely any space for the bed. The walls were peeling. The bathroom has mold and mildew. The air conditioning doesn’t work and there is no window. We left for dinner and came back to find a jumping bug on the bed and grabbed our luggage and left to find a new hotel. To be fair management offered an “upgraded room” before we left but I don’t think it would have been any better. If you’re looking for a cheap place to safely lay your head for a night or two then this is NOT IT. Do yourself a favor and don’t book here. You will regret it.

Awful place

As a female traveller, I did not feel safe there. The walls were paper-thin, the area was shady and the staff made me uncomfortable. The airport transfer arranged was inefficient, resulting in me standing outside in the cold for over an hour while they located a car for me, and the person organising it was extremely unprofessional. All of that was tolerable, until someone used a key and walked into my room at around 12.30 am in the night when I was asleep, luckily waking me up enough to say something to them. I stayed up all night and then moved hotels despite getting no money back because I did not feel safe

Hotel was well located, minutes walk to many of the tourist areas. The hotel was fully booked the night we stayed which was fine however we were allocated a room which had likely been recently renovated. There was a double bed a 2 twins however all pushed together to make one giant like bed, as we were just 2 people this wasn't much of an issue but was a little strange.

The bathroom light didnt work which was slightly more annoying, as we just stayed the one night we didn't say anything and i'm sure if we did they would have changed it for us.

Everyone was friendly, helpful, and spoke English. The breakfast was fresh. The location cannot be beat. You are within walking distance to everything on the Sultanahmet side of town.

Would not book there!

Is it close tot he blue mosque, hajisofia, topikopi YES, easy 10 min stroll. But then again so are the 5* hotels that cost a fraction higher in the area! if you were to book and Istanbul Holiday Hotel was the cheapest then only book for a few day not the entire trip..the hotel is basic, pics look better then it really is. WIFI had issues, breakfast was dry and so repetitive with the same cheese and cornflakes combo. if you booked the economy room be prepared for the shock of your life, the tiniest room ever, strugled with a bag in the room! but when i noted the issue the manager kindly upgraded us (no fee) to a premium room which did allow us to breath! just read another review by someone else who said the same thing. i would have been happy if the price we paid was a season peak price and a the difference between Istanbul Holiday Hotel and a 5* hotel was a big difference but when you pay close to a 5* hotel price but end up compromising due to the location to the city center (where the attractions are) then you feel cheated.
if i was to advise you then book (only if it cheap) for a a day, two or three..then move to another hotel in different part of istanbul. As istanbul has one of the best public transport system i have seen (nearly rivals the one we have in london) you are never to far from attraction of istanbul and with each journey costing 2.15TL (about £0.5p) is cheap to move around.

Worst Hotel I have ever stayed at

This was a horrible hotel. We booked a room for two adults, but the room was so small, even one person wouldn't have been able to live comfortably in it. There was no closet to put our things. There was only one bed, and that was about 50% of the room. The bathroom was so small, we couldn't even turn around once we went in. In the street below, they have a restaurant with karaoke that goes on until 1 am. Since the room is not equipped with AC, the windows have to be kept open, and the noises from the street kept us awake almost all night. The front desk tried to sell us airport shuttle and charged us 30 euros per person. If you go to the travel agent around the corner of the hotel, it's only 5 euros so go there!!! I don't recommend anyone staying at this hotel. If you are willing to pay 30 USD more, you can find the best hotel in the same area and it is more than worth the extra money. This is definitely not worth the 3 stars, and I hope that no one else is fooled by the rating.

2 minute walk to Agias Sophia and the Blue Mosque

The hotel is situated in a fantastic location. I didn't expect luxury when booking this place, but I did think it would be cleaner than what we found. The reason we chose this place was that it was affordable, close to everything we wanted to see, and the fact that we would only need a place to rest for the two night were spent there.

Great location, small room

Staff was friendly and made up feel welcome. The location is fantastic just behind the Blue Mosque. The room was extremely small. I have stayed in some small rooms before, but this room had no closet to put bags. The bags were either on the bed or we were. The bathroom was also extremely small. During our stay the hotel was still being renovated, and the work crew would start at 8am and they would smoke in the hotel.
