Miserable stay

I was in this hotel for 13 days with my family and it was miserable .
The bed sheets never been changed .
We were four in the room and the cleaner gave us three body towels and two hand towels and sometimes without hand towels and when i ask the cleaner about that she told me \" finish\".
The bathroom was full of fungi and the drainage didn't work normally.
The breakfast was ready plate and repeated.
The only two good things to tell about were the place of the hotel is near the the area of Sultan Ahmed and the staff was polite.

STAY AWAY - REALITY IS NOT LIKE POHOTS

This was awful. When we checked in around 10:00pm, we were shocked by the condition of the room. The smell of the mildew was suffocating, the room was extremely old and received no attention in ages.

The actual room had no resemblance to photos shown here.

We asked for a different room and the guy said there were none.

We were forced to go and look for a different hotel and move in the middle of the night.

We lost the money for a 5-night stay because it was nonrefundable (surprise surprise).

Stone Hotel stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Stone Hotel. Breakfast on the terrace with a view of the Kucuk Aya Sofia and the sea was beautiful. We also liked the garden and courtyard which was peaceful to sit in during the early evening.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was able to extend my stay by one night and for us to stay in the same hotel room as I had accidentally booked with one night too short because I got the day of the return flight to UK wrong. Hotel very flexible and amenable which was excellent.

Good central location which made it easy to walk to Sultanahmet to see the fountain in the day and illuminated at night and to visit Blue Mosque (Mavi Cami).

I would definitely stay here again and recommend this for holiday makers to stay there.

I can't say enough about the location; this hotel is near every main attraction - walking distance away. The rooms are just like what's shown in the pictures - nothing more, nothing less. The only downside I experienced with this hotel is that the walls are so thin you could hear every little sound; you could hear people talking from outside, elevator doors and room doors slamming, and even guess talking in their rooms. If you could block out the noise and are not looking for too much of a fancy hotel, this is a great place to stay.

Perfect location, basic essentials

The hotel has an ideal location. 3 minutes away from Blue Mosque and very easy to find.
Facilities are a bit dated and hotel requires some maintenance.
But you pay for what you get and the £64 for two nights was well worth it imo.

I'd go back as a single traveller not fussed about standards. But wouldnt book it for a family holiday .

Just minutes away from the main attractions, shops, restaurants, transport. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is not bad, enough variety to keep you going for a while. The room is of a fair size. I had a single room but with a double bed. The rooms just need a bit of attention and tidying. They have a lovely garden and a roof terrace with views out to the sea.

Beautiful place to stay and incredible staff

The room was just as it was described on the website, a good deal for the price and a view of the sea. The biggest take away for us was the helpfulness of the staff. The night we arrived, we left a jacket in the taxi. It was a nice jacket, expensive and a gift from family. We thought it lost. The front desk guys went out of their way to look up the taxi ID number on the security footage, call a friend who worked with the company at the airport, and arrange it to be returned to us.

The breakfast was a good Turkish breakfast buffet in a cozy rooftop terrace.

Nice hotel with terrace that has a sea view

This hotel is not fancy but its clean, quiet and close to all the main sites. Its 5 minutes walk from blue mosque. The breakfast is also very basic but it didnt matter too much. The terrace is quite small but has an amazing view of the sea. The rooms are air conditioned and cleaned daily. Bathroom facilities also very clean. Theres a fridge and kettle in the room. We asked for a triple room and were given with a double and single bed. Single bed matress was awful but they changed it when we asked. The staff were friendly and helped us to book taxis or to locate places we wanted to visit. Overall its fairly basic but a clean hotel located in a quiet area and close to all the main sites.

Excellent Hotel, walking distance to most places

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Stone Hotel. One of the best locations to stay in Sultan Ahmet as main attractions are walking distance. Hotel staff are friendly and the hotel is child friendly. We stayed with our 2 young children and it was stress free. There are quite a few decent places to eat in near the hotel and breakfast in the morning is very nice at the hotel itself. Plus from the hotel terrace there is a beautiful view of the sea! Highly recommended. This was our 1st time to Istanbul, when I come again I will definitely stay at the Stone Hotel as it ticks all the boxes!

Lovely Hotel in an amazing city..

Lovely small hotel in the heart of historical Istanbul (Sultanahmet Area). 5 minutes walk from the main attraction and very close to the Metro station too. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Stayed there with my family (2 Adults, 2 kids) for 3 nights. Clean and comfy room. Only hiccup was that the fridge in the room didn't really work so was a bit of an issue storing milk bottle for our child..

Great location, good budget hotel

We visited Istanbul and stayed at the Stone Hotel from Oct. 24-27th. The hotel is located in the Old City, close to all the major sites (easy walking distance). The hotel is clean, staff are friendly and helpful, and the price is right for budget travel. Breakfast was included in our room rate and while there was a lot of selection (Turkish breakfast options) the taste was dull and did not appear fresh. There are plenty of restaurant options close to the hotel.

The night manager (Younus) recommended we look at a double and a triple (as we also requested rooms with a view of the sea) - the triple was so large that both kids and 1 couple could stay comfortably ... the double was a good size too!
My comments -
- Not 5* luxury but excellent value for money, in terms of facilities - this includes room service which was useful in case the kids got hungry (with a decent menu)
- Breakfast was the same on all 5 days, not bad and towards the end, very reassuring :))
- the highlight of the hotel is without a doubt the staff - every single one of them were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them
- very central location, which again is convenient if you're travelling with young kids - we never had to, but had the luxury of knowing that we could nip back to the hotel anytime
- lots of little restaurants very close by for evening meals and a couple of convenience stores around the corner which we used a lot to buy little things like crisps, biscuits, soda etc to nibble on in the evening / take with us in the mornings
- lovely Chinese restaurant around the corner ... definitely recommend that too if you're a Chinese fan :))
We had a really good time in Istanbul and the hotel contributed to that immensely - would recommend to anyone not looking for 5* luxury, and would certainly go back and stay again!! x

Could be better, could be worse....

Location is fantastic, 100 yds away from Palace/Mosque area. Internet access is good. Rooms are nice, but bad mold problem in bathrooms...

Excellent location and service

This was a fantastic hotel for several reasons: location, friendliness, sea view, value, and cleanliness. Great for a first trip to Istanbul! One recommendation is to close windows at night unless you enjoy the 5.30am call to prayer, but the double glazing cuts this out if you prefer sleep!

The people and location make it great

The staff was really friendly and helpful (especially Aziz and Joker who runs the room service night shift). The location is great. The hotel and rooms are not as big as they might look in the pictures, and I think they really need to make better use of their terrace. Also, some variety and change in the breakfast could help. On the plus side, the rooms are very clean (we had two rooms on different floors and of different arrangements), and you really feel the staff is there to help make your stay as pleasurable as possible (including giving personalized advice, which was important in our case considering our group included people of various ages). Overall, and compared to other hotels I have stayed at in Istanbul and the region, it is great and surely exceeds expectations.

Very nice location, very nice small compact hotel, and nice staff. We stayed with family (two small kids) and found it extremely nice. Best part is location as this is very close to Sultan Mehmet mosque, Sofia Hagia and Topkapi. If anything negative, that was the quality of breakfast. Other than that almost perfect and great value for money

Great location, friendly caring staff and comfortable 3*

We are a couple in our early 60's, fit and active, but after a 29 hour trip from start to finish, we where delighted to be received so gently with tea and advice while our luggage was taken to our room. The friendly assistance was consistant and no requests were too much trouble. The hotel is comfortable and clean and we were very pleased with our deluxe sea view room, even though you need to open the window to see the sea.We had included breakfast in our room price and after further travels through Turkey, the Stone Hotel breakfast was well presented, fresh and a good array of fruit, yoghurt, cereal, eggs and the traditional turkish olives, cold meats, cucumbers and tomatoes. The central location means you are just a stones throw(no pun intended) from the Hippodrome and there are many good eateries nearby not forgetting the restaurant at the hotel itself.I have no hesitation in recommending the Stone Hotel to fellow travellers as a solid 3* stay.

Stone Hotel Istanbul- close to sights, quiet.

7 min walking distance to main sights like blue mosque, hagia sophia. Good Hotel staff. Breakfast was basic with tea coffee, breads, olives, cheese, nutella and some meat. But for a the price it was great.
I would totally stay here again. Not many restaurants bars around, quiet neighborhood. so if you are looking for hustle bustle try a different hotel like Agan.
Also if you are going to split your stay in istanbul I would do a few nights in old Istanbul (where stone is) and a few nights in Taksim square.

Stone Hotel Review

This is a very nice little hotel within walking distance of most tourist sites. The only minor complaint was the very loud call to prayer from a nearby mosque five times per day beginning at 4:30 am with the last one near midnight. If you consider this as just one element of the cultural experience then it's really not a huge issue. Overall we liked the hotel very much. The breakfast was substantial.

Stone Hotel Istanbul is in a great location

My husband, daughter and I stayed at the Stone in March and found it to be very satisfactory. The location is perfect and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good and the delicious tea generously offered throughout the day was appreciated.

We would stay there again and would definitely recommend it to others.

Great location, just a 5 minuite walk and you are at the Blue Mosque and near many other historical sites for Istanbul.
Hotel was clean and comfortable, breakfast was typical Turkish fair with the added bonus of beingin an old dungen.
Staff very friendly and spoke enough english to help with any questions.

Excellent, affordable option in Sultanahmet

Small, boutique hotel with good, service-oriented staff. Smallish but adequate rooms, modest amenities, fair Turkish breakfast, nice garden. Short walk to tram and major sights and shops. Has a nice roofdeck but hotel doesn't make good use of it (not available for breakfast, for instance).

Nice little hotel in Sultahahmet

The receptionists were very helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is right in the heart of Sultanahmet, everything being within walking distance, either to the sites or a metro station. The view on top of the hotel is nice; you can smoke a nargile waterpipe on the roof of their outdoor terrace, and enjoy the view while drinking a glass of wine or raki. The breakfast was a European-Turkish style continental breakfast. The rooms are a little bit small but comfortable, and there is free wireless internet throughout the hotel.

Great hotel and terrific location

The Stone was everything I'd read. Great location just round the corner from The Blue Mosque. Clean rooms with great bathrooms and power showers. Breakfast more than adequate. Bonuses were a great stone courtyard for eating in, and a roof terrace with a view to die for of the ocean. If I return to Istanbul I will definitely be staying here again.

Ok hotel, stay clear if you don’t like cold shower

Nice staff, ok rooms, boring breakfast, shower with literally no pressure when you want a hot shower, only pressure on cold showers, that is consistent over the whole hotel, we had three different rooms as we went other places in between, same poor shower all rooms.

Хороший номер за свои деньги

В целом все хорошо, расположение отличное, буквально пять минут до центра пешком, персонал хороший, отзывчивый, необходимый для жизни минимум есть. Терпима для завтрака и внутренний дворик очень красивые! На террасе обитают три очень красивых котика, которых просто нельзя не покормить!)
Из минусов комнаты не самые чистые, много пятен на мебели, постельном белье, что-то странное было разлито на тумбочке… но в целом терпимо. В ванной чисто, но напор оооочень слабый. Нам сперва не выдали полотенца, но после нашей просьбы все исправили. Уборка в номере была каждый день, в том числе меняли полотенца, приносили новые шампуни и мыло. Чайника в номере нет.

Also man kann dieses Gebäude nicht als Hotel bezeichnen sondern als eine Pension minus 5 Sterne.
Als angefangen mit der Ankunft wir sind gegen 3 Uhr in der Früh angekommen und der Nachtwächter wusste nicht mal wie er die Buchung findet. Er wollte uns nicht mal eine Flache Wasser geben wonach wir gefragt haben. Nach langer Diskussion hat es geklappt.
Zusammenfassung:
Zimmer ist schlecht und schmutzig.
Klimaanlage in 3 Tagen 2 mal ausgefallen
Stromausfall
Wasserstörung
Wir wurden auch beklaut.
Frühstück besteht aus 2 Scheiben Gurke und paar Tomaten.
Inhaber ist sehr unhöflich und nicht hilfsbereit
Ich würde niemandem niemandem das Hotel empfehlen es war echt ein Horror.

Проверяйте номер, прежде чем заселят

В целом все не плохо, в номере чисто, персонал очень вежливый. Но, очень расстроил тот факт, что после заселения обнаружили, что в душе нет двери.И после принятия душа, в душевой комнате на полу было много воды. Администрация, после жалобы на 3й день предоставили нам другой номер. Удивляет, почему надо было заселять в такой номер?
