Small cozy box room near all amenities
Pros:

The free breakfast was good, just didn’t have enough options but since it was free, I would surely recommend other people to stay there if in Istanbul
The hotel is near most touristic places, as in walkable distances only you’ve got to fit as every place was up the hill. The staff both late night and day staff were welcoming and always helpful with maps, local info, what to avoid, what not to pay of getting ripped off etc. The AC is in the room was wonderful and awesome too. Small fridge provided, with wardrobe and safe were handy too

Cons:

The double room as advertised wasn’t a good size but rather a smallish box room that’s suitable for a person with little or no space to move around but just enough to jump into the shower and back on the bed.
Bed was so hard but atleast the pillows were soft.

No prayer mat was provided - for Muslims one would expect this to be provided in a Muslim country like Turkey !

We wanted to get out of the place as early we can and stayed minimal time inside (just for sleeping)
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

The hotel is in need of significant updates and repairs. The overall cleanliness of the property was below expectations, and the breakfast quality was poor. The rooftop area, in particular, was unpleasant due to bird droppings and strong odors. This facility would greatly benefit from renovation and improved maintenance standards.

I was also surprised to see this property ranked highly on Booking.com, which raises concerns about the reliability of future bookings through the platform.

Un buen hotel para quedarse una semana en Estambul.
Pros:

El personal, encantador. Ayudaron con la Istambulkart y la SIM turca, también con transporte al aeropuerto y consejos para nuestra estancia. El barrio, tranquilo, pero a un paso de Sta. Sofía. La habitación, confortable.

Cons:

Gaviotas y palomos muy revoltosos en la zona. 😁

Pros:

Pequeno almoço bom, com bastante variedade, e os básicos muito bons como ovos mexidos, queijo, etc.
O espaço de pequeno almoço é agradável.
A recepção sempre disposta a ajudar, se tiverem algumas duvidas sobre o que visitar e onde provar certas comidas, perguntem na recepção.
A relação qualidade preço é difícil de superar nesta localização.

Cons:

Não é tão perto assim da estação de tram. No entanto nesta cidade nada é tão perto assim das estações.

Szczerze polecam hotel i uznaję wycieczkę do Stambułu za bardzo udaną :)
Pros:

W hotelu mieliśmy wykupioną opcję ze śniadaniem, było smacznie i różnorodnie, jadalnia pięknie umiejscowiona na tarasie. Hotel stoi w miejscu stanowiącym świetną wypadową do zwiedzania okolicznych atrakcji (błękitny meczet , cysterny, park z dojściem do nadmorskiej promenady czy wielki bazar). W dniu wyjazdu nie było problemu z pozostawieniem w hotelu bagaży na kilka godzin.

All good
