Charming, well-appointed little gem close to main attractions.
Pros:

This is a great location in walking distance to Istanbul's most famous attractions, while also being on a quieter street than a lot of other hotels. It is also a close walk to a lovely promenade along the Bosphorus. The bed was huge and comfy, and the room very well appointed. There is even a little cabinet just for your shoes. And daily breakfast is amazing and the daily afternoon snacks that were delivered to the room were a lovely treat. The staff were very accommodating.

Cons:

We had a minor issue with the AC not working very effectively -- but we did not request it to be fixed, so cannot complain. It was the first place we'd stayed in Türkiye and we didn't know if perhaps they just generally don't like their rooms as cool as we do.

Great location, lovely rooms!
Pros:

The property is very central - quick walk to Hagia Sofia, blue mosque, cisterne, etc. The room was spacious and accommodated three adults very well!

Cons:

The rooms got quite hot and we weren’t able to open the windows.

A boutique choice for Sultanahmet
Pros:

A beautiful heritage boutique hotel with lovely touches throughout. Our ‘family’ room was nicely appointed, very quiet, great shower, nice shampoo/conditioner/soaps. The staff are very attentive and welcoming. We arrived late and we had a selection of snacks waiting for us in our room. A particular thank you to Azer!!

Cons:

The bed was too soft for us, but it’s a personal preference. Traditional Turkish breakfast, although lovingly arranged and looked amazingly cute, was the same every morning. But it’s not a buffet so again a personal choice.

A delicious Turkish breakfast and a comfortable, quiet stay near historic sites.
Pros:

My room was very comfortable and I enjoyed the private patio off my bedroom. The hotel is tucked into a quiet street away from the noisier busy street. The Turkish breakfast was delicious!!!! Staff were very kind, and helpful. Location is very good for walking to historic sites and tram stop.

Cons:

Nothing!

An oasis in the Old City . Loved it .
Pros:

So much to say - welcome from Aver who daily went out of his way to check in and make sure he offered his help. Breakfast is an amazing array of food and enjoyed slowly. Around the corner from many good restaurants highly recommend Paradise lovely food, fair prices and staff shine. Room has daily afternoon refreshments bread etc and bathroom was spectacular. Great stay to discover Istanbul

Gut für einen kurzen Städtetrip
Pros:

Hotel in kleiner Seitengasse, sehr ruhig gelegen. Zu Fuß kann man Moschee, Hagia Sophia etc. bequem erreichen, selbst der Fußweg über den Bosporus nach Karaköy ist in knapp 40 min machbar. In unmittelbarer Umgebung vom Hotel sind viele Restaurants und Shops, auch der Arasta Basar ist ganz in der Nähe. Das Frühstück ist sehr üppig. Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich. Das Hotel ist ein Holzhaus, das ist tatsächlich etwas hellhörig, aber hat uns nicht am Schlafen gehindert. Die Klimaanlage ist gut.

Cons:

Das Standardzimmer ist sehr klein, das ist eng mit zwei Koffern, aber machbar. Das Bett war nicht so unser Fall, die Matratze wahr sehr weich und das Kopfteil hat ziemlich laut geknarzt, das müsste wahrscheinlich mal richtig angeschraubt werden.
