It was exactly what we needed and overall quite a nice stay
Pros:

The staff was very welcoming and helpful and the position was really close to many touristic points

Cons:

Our room unfortunately was quite dark, the one window we had was small and facing inwards which meant that we had no daylight.

Raport calitate-pret excelent
Pros:

Locație centrală, aproape de mijloace de transport si de atracțiile turistice. Hotel curat, camere curate, mari, baia din păcate e cam mică.

Cons:

Baia este cam mică.

Pros:

Отличный отель в самом центре старого Стамбула. Очень приветливый, заботливый и добрый персонал. Пошли на встречу, обменяли нам даты заселения. Живописные улочки, запах кофе по утрам, фруктовые палатки, добрые соседи. В общем, всё супер! Очень советую, особенно номер с балконом)

Pros:

I pretty much enjoyed my stay there, pretty good location :))

Cons:

It was a bit noisy since my windows were facing the street. It was not a problem for me but maybe could be for someone.

Уютно, не дорого, чисто, смарт.
Pros:

Я ставлю 10 за щеколду на двери, чай (да супер дешманский, но есть), тапочки (дешманские, но есть), соотношение цена - чистота - расположение и персонал.
Очень приятный персонал. Внимательный. Лично для меня через чур услужливый, но большинству такое нравится. Просто лапочка.
Отличное расположение немного в стороне от заведений. В 10 минутах от обелиска и тд, но только если вы готовы подняться на очень крутую гору.
Чисто, мне показались не приятными желтые подушечки и эта желтая штука на кровати, но когда ее убрала простынь оказалась чистой без пятен и тп. В ванной тоже чисто, есть немного плесени.
Есть щеколда на двери. Предоставили чай, кофе, сахар, воду, тапочки (все супер дешевое, но а чего вы хотели). Предоставили достаточно полотенец, вроде чистые.
Мне так понравилось спать под этим одеялом 🤗.
Номер уютный и за такие деньги вполне не плох. Я не жалею что остановилась.

Cons:

Чтоб дойти до обелиска и площади нужно подняться на очень очень очень крутую гору.
Ванная комната крохотуличная, не развернутся. Хотя я справилась. В ванной немного плесени.
Существенный минус ванной: раковина малюсенькая находится под полочкой и залезть туда чтоб умыться прям сложно, не знаю может лучше перевесить полку.
В номере немного холодно (март 2026).
Окно это фальшь, выходит на трубу и что-то темное, мне было страшно его открывать и страшно что в него могут подглядеть, а завешано оно очень грязной тюлью, пожалуйста добавьте занавеску, чтоб чувствовать себя более комфортно.

Exceptional value in new, modern and hip digs in a vibrant area of Istanbul!
Pros:

The hotel was locaed in a vibrant and exciting neighborhood that is filled with shops, restaurants, food purveyors, etc. The staff was exceptional although their English is limited. Google Translate, though, always saves the day! Exceptional rooms that was new, tasteful and hip. The hotel staff personally walked me to a nearby restaurant 5 minutes away that I had asked about. Now THAT is customer service! There is tremendous competition for rooms in Istanbul and this hotel recognizes that tourists want exceptional value. I got exceptional value and more at Yellow Bull and can not recommend this place highly enough. Bravo!

Cons:

The room was on the 3rd floor; however, I had no problems with this whatsoever and needed the exercise with all the amazing kebab, borek and baklava I consumed in Istanbul. Hopefully this isn't a problem but you should ask if you'd like a lower room if this is a concern.
