This hotel is very bad and the pictures were misleading and older than me probably. The beds had brown stains from insects and the whole place smells like paint and linseed oil. There were visible mold in the lobby and the towels we got were also stained and smelled funky. Very bad experience.
02.12.2024 David
The hotel has an excellent location, right in the main part of the Old City of Istanbul, just a few minutes' walk to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and downtown. It is a good choice for budget travelers or backpackers who want no frills and are not afraid of roughing it. The staff was friendly and the room was big enough for a whole group of people. We traveled as a group of two, but I think it would be a lot of fun to bring a bigger group, especially for young people. However, as said, this hotel is really only a good choice for people who aren't afraid of roughing it. The hotel is 0 frills and not fancy. The room had holes in the wall and ceiling and clearly worn-down and well-used / stained mattresses, pillow cases, sheets, and towels. The bathroom was enormous, and although there was (kind of) a designated area in it for the shower's runoff, it flooded within 30 seconds, with water even running under the door and onto the mat in the main bedroom inside. The hotel management clearly knew about this problem, as they left a large squeegee broom to sweep the water into a makeshift hole in the far corner.

The location is very good and the staff is very friendly. However, the IT reservation system is confusing and the staff does not speak English at all, which affects basic communication. This needs to be improved.
There is no elevator. Your luggage needs to be picked up by hotel staff. It is difficult to carry it by yourself.

The staffs are quite friendly and offer good service. They are willing and ready to help the guests. We are really appreciated for their help to book the night Bus ticket from Istanbul to cappadocia.
04.01.2023 Sultan
The location is perfect for everything. Walking distance from great places in the city and the tram and metro are five minutes away. The neighborhood is great too. Very safe and all your basic needs are close to the hotel. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
I couldn't give the place a five star rating because of the rooms themselves, Everything in the room is quite old and needs maintenance or replacment, lights doesn't work all the time and the bathroom has bad ventilation. WiFi in the rooms is also week and doesn't work half of the time but, if I would go back to Istanbul I would pick this place agian because of the location and the people. As a family on holiday all we needed is a place to sleep-in, a shower and a toilet and this place provided those essentials. For me the location was the main reason I choose this place and it was better than expected.

05.06.2021 Veysi
the most perfect location of Istanbul that has remarkable economic family hotel. It's central location and affordable quality. In the most crowded places of the city, but the most beautiful and quiet street.
