Categories

Cleanliness
8
Mixed mentions: several reviews note 'clean facilities' and good housekeeping, but a strong negative review reports mould in the shower, lingering smell and an unclean room, so cleanliness is lowered to reflect that notable complaint.
Service
9.9
Consistently praised across reviews: described as friendly, super attentive and helpful (multiple mentions of staff by name, e.g., Osman and Baran), solved issues and assisted with transfers—very strong service sentiment.
Location
9.6
Generally very positive: central base within walking distance of major sites (Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia) and good access to public transport. Minor caveat: a few notes that immediate surrounding streets are less touristy/rundown.
Room Quality
9.4
Mostly positive: comfortable, spacious rooms, balconies and good views reported; a few issues noted (small bathroom in one review, one report of an itchy bed and AC cycling off every hour), so slightly below perfect.
Amenities
9.6
Positive mentions of airport shuttle service, garden/veranda breakfast area and buffet; one complaint about a disorganized van pickup, but overall amenities (garden, shuttle, breakfast service) are valued.
Value for Money
9.7
Multiple reviewers call it good value or reasonable price for the quality and location; shuttle cheaper than taxi and overall value seen as strong.
Food and Beverage
10
Breakfast repeatedly praised as abundant and excellent (magnificent buffet, enjoyable in the garden/veranda). One suggestion to improve fruit variety, but overall very strong positive sentiment for F&B.
Overall Experience
9.8
Majority of reviews very satisfied, with returns and recommendations noted; attentive staff and convenient location drive high overall sentiment despite an isolated strongly negative stay.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Justo por el precio que pagas
Pros:

La ubicación . El personal es muy amable y educado. Tienen al menos una zona Fitness

Cons:

Que te presionen en el momento de irte de ya hacer un review . Que el desayuno en un 90% fue el mismo los 5 días. Que la almohada era muy dura y no tenían más opciones. La cinta de correr no funciona bien

chouette localisation
Pros:

La vue sur la mer depuis notre chambre au dernier étage. Joli petit jardin devant. La gentillesse du staff de la récéption. Localisation parfaite dans la vieille ville, près du tram, quartier sympa avec beaucoup de resto.

Cons:

Très petite chambre, pas de place pour ranger les affaires ni pour laisser une valise ouverte. Lit trop petit (mon compagnon mesure 1m90, ses pieds dépassaient le lit). Le petit déjeuner pas terrible.

Nice hidden stay in heart of Istanbul.
Pros:

Very nice, simple, clean and not big hotel in the heart of Istanbul. Extremely polite staff, always in a favour of customers. Great thanks to Osman and Allattin at the reception. We had all help we needed and everything arranged to feel great in our vaction thanks all you guys. The breakfast was very rich in variety and the possibillity to have it in a garden was great. Also we had an free upgrade of the room :)

Pros:

Well appointed, small and simple boutique hotel in an old traditional turkish house, quiet inner courtyard. Rooms are large enough. You are steps away from everything, but in a working neighborhood, removed from the sea of tourists. As a solo travel, i felt totally safe at all hours.
Super nice staff, very helpful. On the premises 24 hours a day
Great breakfast in the courtyard. Pictures on their website are really accurate
5 minutes access to the trams.

Cons:

Really nothing. Not super luxurious, but everything you need and more. Stayed 6 nights, would have extended my stay if possible

A due passi dal centro
Pros:

Siamo un gruppo di amiche e siamo rimaste 4 giorni e 3 notti, e siamo veramente rimaste veramente soddisfatte. Le camere erano prima di tutto bellissime e sopratutto molto pulite! Il servizio era impeccabile, tutti i dipendenti sono molto cortesi e disponibili, ma un grandissimo grazie va a Baran e Osman, che sono stati molto d'aiuto!
Ci hanno tutti aiutato sia dandoci consigli per il tour, sia prestandoci la Istanbul card per i mezzi (già carica, che poi noi abbiamo restituito altrettanto ricaricata), ci hanno consigliato dei buoni ristoranti vicino all'hotel e ci hanno anche permesso di usare la sala per la colazione per poter cenare lì l'ultimo giorno, avendo ordinato da fuori.
Ho deciso di portare le mie amiche italiane a vivere un avventura turca per fargli conoscere la mia cultura, e sono molto contenta che questo hotel abbia dimostrato che siamo un popolo comunque molto cortese e disponibile!
Inoltre, la vicinanza con i posti da vedere é veramente perfetta, siamo vicinissimi alle attrazioni più importanti ovvero: Aya Sofia, Sultanahmet, Topkapı, la basilica cisterna, il Grand Bazar, e cosi via...

Cons:

L'unica pecca, se proprio dobbiamo andare a cercarla, era la coperta estiva del letto, leggermente troppo corta, ma non è niente che rovinasse la permanenza.

Todo, muy buena ubicación, excelente habitación, tenía un gran balcón, el recepcionista Osman muy amable y preocupado de los detalles, sin duda recomendable y un lugar para volver

Cons:

En general todo bien, solo sugeriría otra marca de café pero el resto todo perfecto
