Staff lovely. Room not good.
Pros:

The staff are so lovely and so accommodating, always willing to help and super friendly. The location is very close to hagia sofia and blue mosque, which is really good if you want to do those attractions.

Cons:

The room is tiny. The wifi didn’t work in our room, and on top of that there is also very bad service, so we couldn’t use our phones in our room. The bathroom stinks and has no vent. The breakfast is extremely basic. The safe doesn’t work and the air conditioning makes a clicking noise all night. Also there is a restaurant outside and the waiters will harass you to eat there every day. For one person the room would be okay, but anything more than one person and it is very cramped.

لا داعي للزعل
Pros:

اعجبني السعر و الموقع فقط و تعامل احد الطاقم الرجال لا أعلم اسمه. الفطور و الخدمة رائعة على السعر.
شكرا جزيلا.

Cons:

الغرف ضيقة جدا جدا جدا
لا تتوفر سلة مهملات في الغرف
التكييف ضعيف
دوارات المياه ضيقة
حاولوا تغريمنا 10 يورو لأننا فقدنا بطاقة الغرفة و قالوا هذا من سياسات الفندق. و لم نجد ذلك من سياسات الفندق.
و حاولنا اعطاءهم نصف المبلغ و رفضوا ذلك. و عند الساعة 12 تأخرنا قليلا و جاءت المضيفة لتؤكد خروجنا الساعة 12 بدون مرونة في التعامل.
سكنا عدة فنادق سابقا و فقدنا بطاقات الغرف و لم يقم أحد بتغريمنا.
نحن نأسف لذلك.
بشكل عام الفندق جيد مقابل السعر.

Tiny rooms, with a big heart
Pros:

Centrally located in Sultanahmet, only 5-10 minutes walk to trams, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia. The staff were very helpful and friendly, doing all possible to make our stay pleasant

Cons:

The room was miniscule, but at such reasonable rates, didn't concern us too much. We were only there to sleep, basically
