Cons:
Poor cleanliness (dirty room on arrival, infrequent/insufficient cleaning)

Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report dirty rooms and facilities (used toilet paper on arrival, very dirty balcony, malodorous mini-fridge, infrequent/insufficient cleaning). Cleanliness rated poorly by several guests.
Service
10
Mixed reports but several strong positive interactions (very helpful receptionist, staff helped with a parcel and even paid postage). Some guests experienced rude or inattentive receptionists, but notable examples of helpful, accommodating staff lead to an overall high service score in these reviews.
Location
10
Consistently praised: very close to Sultanahmet/Aya Sofya and the city centre; multiple guests highlight the excellent, central location.
Room Quality
4.5
Rooms described as very small, sometimes dark, with old/poorly positioned air conditioning, lack of soundproofing and other deficiencies (small, poorly maintained balcony, unclean minibar area).
Amenities
5.5
Limited amenities mentioned: smelly mini-fridge with leftover food, old AC, basic offerings. Amenities are functional but below expectations for several guests.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed impressions: good central location and occasional excellent staff service improve perceived value, but poor cleanliness and small rooms reduce it; overall slightly above average value given positives.
Food and Beverage
6
Breakfast described as repetitive with few options and possibly items from previous days. Food/Beverage is adequate but below expectation for some guests.
Overall Experience
10
Overall impressions are mixed across reviews, but strong positives (exceptional location, multiple instances of very helpful staff) influence the aggregate overall experience score upward despite issues with cleanliness and room size.

Pros:

Solo la posizione si salva, ma comunque non vicina a nessun mezzo pubblico.
Si salva anche la ragazza alla reception, veramente gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

Appena entrati, abbiamo notato subito la stanza sporca, carta igienica usata già, balconcino minuscolo in condizioni estremamente sporche, mini frigo maleodorante con una vaschetta di alluminio per cibo ancora all'interno. Il riassetto e la pulizia viene effettuata ogni 3 giorni, come scritto da loro vicino alle porte; la colazione sempre uguale con poche cose a disposizione e sicuramente cose dei giorni precedenti. Abbiamo dovuto chiedere un'altra carta igienica. Il condizionatore posizionato male, e comunque molto vecchio; insonorizzazione inesistente; dopo l'unico riassetto ricevuto in 6 notti e 7 giorni, non è stato pulito nemmeno il bagno, ma solo una spazzata veloce. Ah dimenticavo, camera molto molto piccola.

Orașul frumos, dar ce este în oraș nu e chiar frumos
Pros:

Eu am luat legătura cu cineva de pe booking din suport, le am explicat ca eu ajung la hotel mai devreme de ora check in ului, adică la ora 5, suportul din aplicație mi a confirmat ca a luat legătura cu hotelul și ca se va face check in ul daca se poate mai devreme, sau pot lăsa bagajele la recepție, nu asta s a întâmplat, am ajuns acolo la 5 dimineața, cel ce era la recepție dormea efectiv pe o canapea, i am bătut în ușă să deschidă, a ieșit nervos, i am explicat toată situația și ne a răspuns ca nu are camere, am înțeles, nu ne a lăsat să lăsăm bagajele, am stat în fața hotelului 2 ore până la ora 7 când a trecut pe stradă un om de la salubritate și ne a întrebat ce facem acolo, i a bătut în ușă celui de la recepție și l a întrebat cum este posibil să ne lase să stăm așa în fața hotelului, abia după ne a lăsat să ne lăsăm bagajul înăuntru.

Cons:

Nu sunt actualizați cu programările făcute pe booking, ajungi acolo și nu știi dacă mai ai programare sau nu, deși tu plătești

Pros:

Отличное расположение — 5 минут пешком до Султанахмета и Айя-Софии. Очень хороший персонал, всегда готов помочь. Отдельная благодарность за помощь с посылкой — сотрудники даже оплатили её отправку. Рекомендую!

Cons:

Из минусов — комната была немного тёмной, так как естественного освещения было недостаточно. В остальном всё понравилось.
На свое деньги отлично!

Recepción maleducada
Pros:

Cerca del centro

Cons:

Somos un matrimonio que nos hemos alojado más de una vez en este hotel. La primera vez fue cuando nos casamos en 2016. Siempre habíamos estado muy bien y el personal era amable.
Ahora hay un señor mayor en la recepción muy mal educado. Cuando llegamos nos pidió demostrar que estamos casados (esto podemos entenderlo) pero su actitud fue en todo momento de desprecio y prejuicio, como si fueramos personas indeseables. Estuvimos un rato buscando nuestra documentación en el móbil y el señor seguia tratándonos con desprecio. Finalmente nos dio una habitación a 1 metro de la recepción la cual era literalmente un agujero oscuro, pareciendo que nos quiere "tener controlados". Nos quejamos y otro señor de recepción que creo que puede ser de Azerbaján fue amable y comprensivo y nos dio una habitación decente.
Mi mujer se sintió humillada, juzgada como si fuera una mujer de la calle que va a un hotel a hacer servicios sexuales. Yo como turco que soy me sentí despreciado y juzgado por un compatriota.
Nos gustaba mucho este hotel pero esta experiencia tan desagradable nos ha hecho decidir no volver munca más.
Entendemos que quieran ser un hotel respetable, pero no puede juzgarnos directamente. Estamos muy decepcionados.

Rating: 6/10
Pros:

The location of the hotel is quite good, and the breakfast was okay—not great, but acceptable. Cleanliness could be better; I would rate it around 6/10. There was visible dust in the room, the comforters were not properly covered with sheets, and there was moisture in the bathroom. On the plus side, the price was low, so for the cost, it was manageable. Overall, it's fine if you're not expecting much, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.
