The hotel has a great location-within walking distance of most of the attractions. The hotel is not new, but with its own unique atmosphere. The rooms are clean (the cleaning here is generally super), the hair dryer is powerful, the air conditioner is working. We were lucky with the view from the window (above the main entrance). There was no street noise in the room with the windows closed. On the 6th floor, with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus and with seagulls outside the window, breakfasts were held in the cafe. The food is monotonous, but in general you can find something for yourself. Coffee from the coffee machine, eggs, cheese, bread, jams, cereals, etc. The staff is very polite, pleasant, they responded to all requests with a smile.
We were in December 2024-January 2025 for the new year. I liked the hotel, the room has good old wooden furniture, it's clean, the room is cleaned every day, soap accessories are replenished, linen is clean. The breakfasts are monotonous, the main thing every day is to take something not all at once, one thing at a time, then it doesn't work out. eggs, olives, etc. types, pastas, jams. jam, no baking, there were always apples from fruits, tangerines were caught twice. The hotel is close to the main attractions, and the Galata Bridge is 10-15 minutes away on foot. There is also an Egyptian market nearby.
The ideal location for a tourist visiting Istanbul for the first time. Attractions, transport interchange, markets, theaters, restaurants, cafes for every taste. At the same time, it is a calm, quiet place, far from roads and round-the-clock life.
I liked the breakfasts, maybe because I didn't expect much. There was always an omelette, either French fries or stewed potatoes. Very tasty sweet tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, olives, olives. 4 types of cheese. Some baked pies, then fingers with cheese made from puff pastry (they were given only once - incredibly delicious). Fruits include apples, oranges, and plums, I think. Muesli, cereal, oatmeal, milk. Tea, coffee from the coffee machine.
The staff from the windows fed the seagulls that flew in. The hotel has 2 compact, but fast, smooth elevators. Convenient lobby. Polite staff. Cleaning and towel change every day, bed linen once every 3 days. The plumbing was working properly. Not enough lighting. The room was on a corner, with windows on two sides. it was not crowded, the mattresses were comfortable, the pillows were not comfortable. I liked the location: it takes 5 minutes to get to the T1 tram without hurrying. Gulhane Park, AyaSofia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Basilica cisterns are also close. Everything is within walking distance. It hasn't been repaired for a long time, but it's nice to be there, there are no foreign smells, I didn't find any bugs either (I was very worried, sensitive skin).
Nice hotel. Clear. Nice staff. The very center. A good choice for breakfast. Linen change and cleaning every day. There is a Russian-speaking administrator. The room was rented for $65/day. I recommend.
The hotel is located very close to the main attractions (Gulhane Park, Topkop, Hagia Sophia and others). The room stock is tired, but atmospheric in its own way. There are two elevators. There were not enough sockets by the beds, there was only one thing in the room and one in the bathroom. The breakfasts are simple but delicious, and what a view - on the roofs and the strait. Of course, the audibility in the rooms is high, but apparently the regime coincided with the neighbors, there were no special inconveniences, silence at night.
Positive:
The location is excellent. Most of the significant attractions are within walking distance.
The staff is friendly and friendly. Cleaning every day. Although the breakfast is a little meager and the same day after day, it is generally quite tasty.
The metro is a five-minute walk away. Nearby there is a great cafe RED RIVER with just freaky meat dishes.
There is an air conditioner.
Minuses:
The rooms are small (very small).
The hotel is a little tired in places (but not critically). TV...it seems to be there, but in fact it is not there because it does not normally catch any channel.
There is no kettle and a set of shampoo, brushes, etc. (you can probably ask at the reception)
In general, the hotel can be advised to choose, besides, people do not come to Istanbul to sit in a hotel.
The hotel is located in the center of most of the attractions. Within walking distance to the ferry, metro and Marmaray. The furniture in the hotel is old, noisy until late at night, because cafes and restaurants are downstairs. For 4-5 hours, you can hear singing from the mosque. The walls are thin, if noisy neighbors will hear them. Breakfast is simple, but you will not stay hungry. The staff is friendly. The bed was made up every day. The towels are white and clean. Shower gel, shampoo, soap, hair dryer - everything is there. There are two glasses in the room, there is no kettle.
I really liked the hotel. I was there for a week in November 2023. I definitely recommend it! The room stock is of course "tired", but I was completely satisfied. Spending the night and getting cleaned up is the best thing. Everything you need is there, it is cleaned often. The breakfasts are good, though monotonous: eggs, potatoes, sausages, nuggets, semites, olives, cheese, vegetables. No one will stay hungry for sure. There is a coffee machine! The location couldn't be better: 5-10 minutes walk from the main transport arteries - metro, tram T1 and Eminenyu pier. The main attractions of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace are also within walking distance. Plus, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants for every budget and souvenir shops nearby.
Super location! Inside there is a high-quality finish: marble and wood, but a little worn by time. There are two elevators. The rooms are compact, equipped with: refrigerator, air conditioning, safe, shower) Its own terrace on the 6th floor, where it is very pleasant to have breakfast with a view of the Bosphorus and cormorants)))
A good inexpensive hotel. Convenient location. Polite and friendly staff. Clean bed linen and towels. No wildlife. A little shabby, with a small room, but I was completely satisfied. I didn't have time for breakfast, I left earlier, unfortunately. If I'm still in Istanbul, I'll stay here.
Convenient location close to attractions, markets, restaurants, cafes for every budget, bus stops, marina. Purity. Good breakfasts overlooking the Bosphorus. The reception staff does not speak Russian, but tries to help in everything.
A great tourist area. The hotel is modest, for only 50 euros/day. The service is excellent, clean and the breakfast is good. I stayed overnight on the way there and back. To visit historical monuments. Aeroexperse arrived at the final Aksaray, then transferred to the tram at the fifth stop to get off. It wasn't difficult with the hand luggage.
The location is great. The rooms are small, but that's the way it is in the whole old town. Breakfasts are not a fountain, but tolerable. The staff is helpful!
We liked the hotel. A good breakfast with a stunning view of the sea. All attractions are within walking distance. Very cozy and colorful streets near the hotel itself. It's a good place.
Surprised the three with food and rooms - very nice!!!!
Of the minuses, the walls are thin, the audibility from the corridor is the most ideal.
Purity by 4.

Nice hotel, friendly and friendly staff.We had breakfast included. The location of the hotel is good, all the main sights of antiquity are within walking distance.
A good budget hotel. Outdated interiors and furniture are replaced by a restaurant with panoramic windows on the Bosphorus and Hagia Sophia with a varied and delicious breakfast.
The hotel is a three-star, it was possible to put less, but the main advantages:
- edible breakfasts (compared to some other hotels)
- good room cleaning
- location of the hotel
The standard rooms are terrible and in need of repair, I didn't really care about the size, but the rooms are small.
A hotel worthy of its stars. I liked the location. There are many cafes around, all the main attractions are within walking distance. The room is small but cozy.
Breakfast is served on the 6th floor on the covered veranda. But the restaurant is open only for breakfast, closed in the evening. We have to go outside in search of food.
I did not like the lack of tea/coffee and a kettle in the room and the non-working air conditioner. It is possible only in our room.
The hotel is located in the historical part of the city. The metro station is a 10-minute walk away. The rooms are a little tired, but overall a good hotel. Clean, warm, good breakfasts.
The main advantage of the place is the location. The rooms are tired. Some require cosmetic repairs. The breakfast is not bad, though without frills. But you probably won't leave hungry.
They lived in October 2022. Good location of the hotel. There is a metro station and a tram stop nearby. Not a bad breakfast. Responsive staff. I recommend.
Very small rooms. The audibility is terrible due to the exhaust system between the rooms. A hotel from the category of overnight stay. If you are not lucky with the guests who do not start rumbling and yelling at the whole hotel, then you will hardly be able to spend the night.
Price/quality ratio 3 out of 5
The place is very touristic. Everything is within walking distance. But it's very crowded and the music from the neighboring cafes is playing half the night
On the first day, the mood from staying at the hotel was spoiled, they took away towels, but did not put new ones, they came from a walk around the city at 23.30.They wanted to take a quick shower, but there was nothing to dry off with
We went down to the reception 2 times with a request, after 30 minutes they brought large ones, they said to bring small ones now, and that was forgotten.We have 6 more days to live here…
