Location was good but terrible experience

We were smitten by the reviews and liked the location but the room was not as advertised inside a hotel. It was in a dilapidated apartment next door through some stairs in severe need of TLC. The second room did not have a real sofa bed as advertised - just two parts of the couch that they slid together. Moreover, we were surprised when the power went out one night and there was no heat in the room on a cold December night, and the hot water heater was broken so no hot shower. Even when the power returned, no one came by to fix it as promised and no action was taken to until I insisted with management. Even after they fixed the hot water heater, the tiny shower alternated between hot and cold every 5 seconds making it useless. Because of the cold, they eventually did let us borrow a very small hotel room that hadn’t sold that night in their main building just big enough for two of us, while the other two doubled up under blankets in a cold room. There was a clothes washer in the room, but the door was broken and would not unlatch after a cycle. The employees at the front desk were very pleasant and very polite and, if not for them, we would have walked out in rage. The manager seemed sympathetic to our situation but refused to offer us any solution to our problem nor give us any credit for the issues and refused to even respond to hotels.com when I opened a case. The location is very good and the property has potential if it is given some attention and is renovated. Good luck

Convenient location and friendly staff.

The staff is super friendly. The area however is very loud. The hotel isn't very well insulated so it got cold this time of year. The area however is very convenient for being a tourist.

Brilliant location and value for money

The hotel was excellently located in the centre of Sultanahmet and was excellent value for money - particularly the quality and range of breakfast choices which were all included in the cost. All the staff were really helpful. I would certainly stay again.

Super friendly staff and a great central location. The hotel needs a bit of improvement works. Our room looked a bit shabby, the sink in the bathroom leaked (reported to staff), the shower leaked on to the bathroom floor (reported to staff). The curtains did not close fully so the early morning light woke us up very early. Breakfast included however we did not have it every morning as a limited choice. Would not go back as there is many more hotels to choose from.

The hotel is in a fantastic part of Istanbul - very close to all of the main attractions. We had the apartment which was huge with very comfortable beds. The staff were lovely and very friendly. We did find that the apartment wasn’t well ventilated though and a bit smelly. Otherwise, perfect for a quick getaway in great location.

Lovely area but unfortunately my daughter’s very expensive headphones were stolen from her bag. We’d left our luggage in the hotel for an hour while waiting on our room to be ready. Staff did not take the theft seriously and were loathe to check cctv. When I managed to persuade them to check cctv they couldn’t find the date. We were only there 2 days. Couldn’t really enjoy it as kept wondering was there something else stolen.

Great place overall but needs new carpet. The view from terrace is outstanding and you will have a lot of time to enjoy it as you wait for breakfast -- the food is good but you have to order it and then wait about 20 min. I will bring my travel journal next time.

Good points and bad points

The location of the hotel is fantastic. Only 150m from the Blue Mosque and 300m from Hagia Sofia Mosque. There is one English speaking young staff and he was friendly. There is a roof top covered terrace with beautiful views of the Bosporus and surroundings. Breakfast and other meals are served there. It’s very nice. Also an open rooftop lounge area for evening relaxing. However, my room was in a poor condition. The safe did not lock. The shower cubicle leaked water continuously into the bathroom. I complained on day one and nothing was done. On day three, after a further heated complaint, a temporary repair was made. Also most of the staff seem to be unaware that their hotel offers a laundry service and I was declined when I first asked at reception. Though I did receive a good service after speaking directly to the improvements need to be made. Finally, if you are looking for “BK Boutique” you may not be able to find it, because the signage actually says “By Kinyas Hotel”
