From one point of view, location is excellent - it is in the very center, you can walk to all historic places. From another, it is not reachable by car, so a cab driver left us far from the place as the streets are closed for cars. The same when we were leaving for the airport, the transfer was organized by the hotel but still we had to walk to another street when the car could come. The rooms are tiny and the bathroom stinks, as the building is very old. They tried to renovate it but they could have done less rooms but make them larger and with real windows and not the thing they made. When the hotel staff organized the transfer to airport for us, they charged is $50 which is more or less a normal price there and we agreed, but they joined us and another family in the same, without even asking us, and when we complained they gave us back only $10. In general, be very careful with money there, as people try to cheat you.

The hotel in the middle of the attractions.

Great location and clean hotel. It is just a few minutes from Sultanahmet tram station and a couple stops away from both the Grand Bazaar and Eminonu ferry boats. I'll definitely reserve it again when visiting Istanbul.

Location is perfect, close to the tramway station and to all the touristic sites. Breakfast buffet at the rooftop is good and have a good view. Everything else was average. (clean small room, tight elevator, pour acoustic isolation between rooms) Comparing to the price per night i do recommend this hotel.

Absolutely love the location of this hotel as it located right in front of Sultan Ahmet tramway station and nearby to many places of attraction. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. Staffs are very friendly. However, during my second trip to Istanbul recently, I was transferred to another hotel because the receptionist has sold my room to a couple who did not turn up on the day for check in but demand for a room on the next day they came and the hotel sold my room to the couple. In my opinion, they should have transferred the couple to the next hotel because my booking has already been paid and confirmed. Even thought they have upgraded my room but still I felt unsatisfied because of the distant to the next hotel. The main reason I choose Star Holiday Hotel is because of the location and convenience to walk around. I would come back to the same hotel again but I hope the same situation will not happen again.
