Everything was great, clean, and decent. We had an upgraded room. There weren't many special toiletries (just soap in a dispenser), and it was very noisy outside, but with the window closed, it was barely audible. For the price in Sultanahmet, we didn't expect more and were perfectly happy. The staff were friendly and spoke English.

Everything was great. It's very close to Sultanahmet and Ayasofia. The reception is available 24/7 and they were so nice and helpful. And the room was cleaned every day.

The room was clean, comfortable, and convenient. Housekeeping was available every day, and they would always ask first if I wanted the room cleaned. The location was great, close to tourist attractions, and there were many restaurants nearby. The reception staff were friendly and provided excellent service. Special thanks to Nebi for always helping me, making coffee for me, and giving helpful recommendations while I was there.

We had a wonderful stay at Lika hotel ❤️ everything was absolutely perfect!The location is excellent, making it very convenient to get around and explore the area, get some amazing food too .
The room was amazing! very spacious, clean, and comfortable with all amenities needed ! ( even a fridge filled with soft drinks ) It had everything I needed for a relaxing stay, and the atmosphere of the hotel was welcoming and relaxing !
What truly made the experience special was the staff. The reception team were incredibly kind and professional, especially Mohamed and the very kind gentleman with blue eyes who were both so helpful during my stay🥰 also i would like to mention the kindness and care from the housekeeper aswell! Very nice guy !
I was also very thankful by a moment that really shows how caring the staff are. I needed to wash some clothes before leaving Turkey, and they nicely offered to take my laundry to the laundry room and bring it back to us ! What a nice gesture ! They were absolutely not obligated to do that, but it showed such genuine kindness and dedication to their guests.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone and would happily return again in my next trip in Turkey soon !

WARNING! DO NOT STAY HERE!
This hotel does not accept unmarried couples. The old man at the lobby was so rude. He only took one look at my face and said, "We're full," even though I told him that I had a confirmed booking. He did not even ask to see my booking or check. He just turned us away from the hotel. This behavior is extremely unacceptable in the hospitality industry. No wonder why the price is selling so cheap; this is because of the bad service they provide to customers. I'm not sure why this hotel is still able to run a business.

I stayed at this hotel during New Year's week and was very pleased. The hotel is small, the rooms are cozy and clean. They have everything you need: a refrigerator, kettle, hairdryer, air conditioning, heating, and clean linens. Cleaning and towel changes were provided daily. The staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for your hospitality.

The hotel is simply wonderful; all the photos on the website are accurate.
There's no breakfast, but towels are changed daily and the room is cleaned.
The location is convenient.
Nearby is the Little Hagia Sophia and the Sea of Marmara embankment.
If you walk the other way, you'll find Sultanahmet, Beyazit, the Grand Bazaar, and Laleli.
I stayed on the 4th floor.
There are lots of cafes, restaurants, and lokantas nearby.
There are also shops and many shopping options in Laleli.

Not so bad to remember forever.
Close to Blue Mosque and Marmara station.
I was hungry after breakfast. There were old bedsheets, dirty shower, broken door in the bathroom, smell of gas, no toilet paper. There was no room service for all my stay and i has to throw out my garbage all these days by myself. Waste of money.

I recommend this hotel; it's very well located – within walking distance of the historic center with most of the sights, a tram stop nearby, and a variety of cafes and restaurants in the surrounding area to suit every taste and budget. The rooms are small but cozy and clean. They change the sheets and towels daily and clean the rooms. The beds and mattresses are new and very comfortable, and the staff is friendly.
