Pros:

Хозяин с женой очень добрые и понимающие люди, Тамара неплохо понимает русский язык и общаться через переводчик приходилось только в крайнем случае.
Когда не смог оплатить отель из-за блокировки карты, хозяин позволил остаться на ночь без каких либо вопросов об оплате, на следуюший день уже смог за все оплатить.
За одну прогулку вблизь отеля можно обойти кучу достопримечательностей и конечно сходить на набережную, магазины и рестораны близко, цены приемлимые, в ресторанах чем то угощают и всегда ждут.

Pros:

La ubicación, esta a 5 minutos andando a la plaza de Sultanahmed, todo el personal muy amable.

Cons:

El ascensor no funciona y las escaleras son angostas, iba con adultos mayores y teníamos q tener mucho cuidado, nos dieron habitaciones en la primera planta para compensar. La limpieza está bien, pero se podría mejorar.

Nie polecam, oszustwo wita Cię w drzwiach
Cons:

Wcześniej miałam kontakt z obsługą hotelu. Jednak gdy przyjechaliśmy na miejsce okazało się, że magicznie nie ma dla nas pokoju i że mamy iść do zaprzyjaźnionego hotelu. Jako, że czytałam już o takich sytuacjach, absolutnie się nie zgodziłam, bo jest to jawne oszustwo. Zwykle przesuwają ludzi do gorszych hoteli, a nie masz wtedy opieki od booking. Zaczęłam więc protestować, powiedziałam, że skoro nie ma dla nas miejsca, to zgłoszę to do booking a sama poszukam innego miejsca na noc. Wymiana zdań trwała chwilę, przyszedł też właściciel tego drugiego hotelu, po czym jednak się okazało, że pokój jest.
Co do samego pokoju- mógłby być czystszy, na zewnątrz jest ultra głośno tak do okolic 4 w nocy, więc jeśli planujesz się przespać, to się nie da.

Unbeatable location but basic amenities
Pros:

We stayed here with our two young children (a 5-year-old and a toddler) and had a very pleasant stay based primarily on the location. The hotel is right next to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Sultanahmet tram stop. You truly cannot beat this location for sightseeing!
Our room was clean, and the hospitality was wonderful. We arrived for a very late check-in around 2:00 AM, and the lady at the front door was incredibly kind and welcoming, even though she didn't speak English. We did not notice street noise at night like other guests.

Cons:

However, families should note that the amenities are very basic. There is no elevator (which can be tough with heavy suitcases and strollers), and the room does not include a hot water kettle, coffee maker, microwave, iron, or complimentary water. No breakfast but so many restaurants right beside hotel. Also, keep in mind that they only accept physical payment cards (no contactless/phone payments).If you are looking for a clean, affordable, and perfectly central spot to explore Istanbul and don't mind the stairs, this is a great choice!
