Honest review! The room and location are really good but what give us a bad experience was the owners and people that work there. When I First arrived to check in I have been greeted with lack of respect or care in the world, I got told that the room isn’t ready yet and to come back in a hour or 2 after Check in time, 40 Minutes later they managed to give us a room which in all fairness was good and clean. We stayed there for 3 nights they never once cleaned our room or changed towels and once I asked for new towels I got told rudely to wait until the morning and ask again as it was late. Other then the owners and the son bring so Rude and careless and the fact that they don’t bother cleaning the room once you pay for it then it’s a Ok holte

The hotel is within walking distance of many of the activities and the staff were very helpful and kind. They helped us get a shuttle to the airport and made sure we get there on time. The place is cozy and the beds are comfortable. There are no elevator for those who have hard time with stairs.

My fiancee and I were excited about this property as it was in a good location and affordable; however, it ended up being a nightmare experience, and we were treated - without a doubt - worse than we have ever been treated by any hotel. 1. Our room was not ready by our 2pm check-in time and we had to wait until 3:30. 2. The first room we were taken to was in the basement where toilet paper and cleaning supplies were kept. There were 2 single beds, a large pipe that ran low across the ceiling, and a small window that looked onto the sidewalk above. We told the hotel manager this was not the room we booked. 3. He was remarkably unapologetic. Only after we showed him pictures of the room we booked via Expedia did he reluctantly agree to take us to another room. The second room was not much better than the first. It was barely big enough for a double bed to fit, there was no hot water, and the sheets were dirty. We again told him this was not the room that we booked 4. He took us to the third room, while complaining that he was doing us a favor and saying that this was our last chance. The third room was, in fact, the room we booked; however, when I went to check if there was hot water in the bathroom, the hotel manager started yelling at me telling me there was hot water. I told him I simply wanted to make sure. He yelled louder, got closer to me, and shouted at me to feel the hot water. 5. We didn't feel safe in this hotel, in a foreign country, so we stayed at another hotel

Nice Budget

The front desk staff are very helpful. When we arrived at the hotel, we did not have the appropriate change to pay; the receptionist came to us, helped us to get the change from the nearby store and pay the cab person. He also gave us the necessary information to visit in Istanbul and also a few donts/tips to avoid being cheated. The machine to put the key in the room was broken, so we had to be very careful while placing the key for electric supply in the room. The TV channels provided have no english channels, so spending time watching TV is a no-go for all english speaking travellers.

During our stay, no electricity and no internet

We stayed for 3 nights and we made an extension of 2 more nights in this hotel, because the staff is good, the breakfast is also good and the wifi connection is reliable. At least, wifi was good until the 3rd day. During the afternoon, the power got off and so the wifi. In the block, only we stayed with no power and wifi. Most incredibly: some parts of the building had power; besides: in some bedrooms, we had electricity in the room and didn’t in the bathroom. But I think this was because of the building age and mostly in Europe. The building is old, but the staff is really good. They tried to help us always offering us anything we asked to. Maybe more proactive, but It’s worth the money you pay. Good location, but you have to go up to see the Blue Mosque and other touristic places in Istanbul.

Good value, great service.

Very nice experience, the place is close to Sultanahmet mosque, and is a good place to stay for visiting Istanbul. The receptionist Umar was very helpful throughout, and also arranged a Ground floor room for us since my wife was pregnant. The breakfast is standard, which they can improve with some fresh fruits and fresh juices. They also extended our checkout time on request and guided us to go around places in Istanbul during our stay. We would be happy to stay there again when we visit the city.

Nightmares In Istanbul

This hotel was in a brilliant location, but the standard was awful. As we walked into the room, it looked alright, however after closer inspection it was absolutely awful. I lifted my pillow to find a line of dust, as if the room hadn't been entered or cleaned for weeks. There were stains on the sheets, mold in the bathroom, the drains were filthy, general cleanliness was very poor. The bed was not a double, just two singles pushed together, very uncomfortable and there is dust everywhere. The hotel does not have a lift and you have to walk up very narrow steep stairs to get to your room. Breakfast is not worth even calling breakfast, a sad plate of food, pre-prepared, cold boiled egg, a few straggly pieces of cheese and stale bread. They served coca cola and fanta with breakfast. Definitely need to have breakfast elsewhere. The windows are not in the least bit sound proof, which is a must in this busy neighborhood, the road is very loud and we could hear people all through the night, we were not able to sleep for our whole stay. Although the hotel has some good points, the staff are lovely and the hotel has a roof terrace from which there is an amazing view. I would definitely not stay here again.m

NOT AS ADVERTISED

The main reason my overall rating for this hotel is 1/5 is simply because it is not as advertised. We were in the basement room which was not soundproof, it was quite noisy and a lot of light still got in. There was no daily housekeeping which again it said there would be, breakfast hours were very short, and the beds were very uncomfortable. They weren't even actual mattresses but maybe sofa beds? Also one of the male reception workers was very quiet and didn't really speak to me or my boyfriend which made checking in a hassle. If it was advertised more accurately that would solve a lot of issues. The only real plus is that it is walking distance to everything we wanted to see!

Comfortable stay

A friend and I spent several days at the Magnificent Hotel, and we had a very nice stay. The location is great - it is very close to Sultanahmet Mosque, but it is on a quieter side street. That being said, it is close to a large number of shops and restaurants, so it is still very conveniently located. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the hotel was very clean, warm (which was awesome with how freezing and snowy Istanbul was when we went), and comfortable.
