Pros:

On the positive side, the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The location was excellent, allowing easy walking access to most of the main attractions. Breakfast was decent and a good way to start the day.

Cons:

On the downside, the room was extremely cold on the first day of our stay. After informing the receptionist, they provided a portable heater. Additionally, the hot water took quite a long time to heat up.

Pros:

Proprietatea a fost pozitionata perfect! Langa bazar, magazine si tramvai. Personalul a fost amabil.

Cons:

Era un miros de mucegai in camera. Caldura nu mergea, apa la toaleta nu se tragea.

Pros:

Don’t stay here unless you are desperate. Reviews must be fake if they say anything nice. Don’t book via Hotels as their customer service when issues arise is appalling.

Pros:

Very personalized attention in every single way; fell in love with the surroundings (every single thinkable thing you may want to visit is very easily within walking distance or a short bus ride); felt at home within a day (stayed 7 nights with my partner). Will be staying there every single time I visit from now on. Amazing views from rooftop patio (also where you have breakfast every morning) of mosques and nature. The most amazing pastries within the same street and right next door- amazing Doner right across the street. Made us very emotional to leave but I know we have our mini piece of heaven to come back to from now on

Pros:

I have to say the staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. The room was clean, the bedding was fresh and it is incredibly convenient for exploring the old part of Istanbul.

The only reason I didn't give an excellent for property condition is because the lift wasn't working while I was there. But that was a minor inconvenience in what was a wonderful stay.

They stole my money
Pros:

Nothing, they took my money and didn't give me a room.

Cons:

I didn't like the hotel they put me in for one night where I got cut on a broken glass shelf in the bathroom, followed by them not refunding the money they owed me for the additional 2 nights that they did not provide a room for me.
I also don't like booking.com doing nothing about it.
I would sooner sleep on the street then give these people any business.
