Location is good, but everything else is beyond "HORRIBLE". The three girls working there are polite, but this cannot be classified as a habitable building. It needs to be demolished and redone.

There was no television, they hadn't changed or made sheets, the curtains were ripped. The room wasn't ready or cleaned for our stay which was very disappointing. The only redeeming qualities were the location and the kind people.

The staff had been amazing. The best thing of the hostel.Would really recommend the place to anyone visiting the city. I’ve been lucky to stay here as aparently it’s the hostel with the best vibe in whole Istanbul. If you want to discover Istanbul night scene don’t miss the pub crawls on Wednesday. Great party and organisation. Breakfast included is very decent and views to the sea is a nice plus. The room was very clean and replacement of towels and soap every day. Few small cons; the lighting in the room was’nt great; felt really dark. Some common areas like the stairs are in poor condition. The hostel is facing a highway and the windows don’t insulate enough the noise and can be a little annoying.

Everything was good but we were expecting a little more on the breakfast side. Also it would have been good to have an electric kettle in the room. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the view from the room!!

Beautiful, Cozy Hotel

Loved this hotel from the moment I walked in- located in a very safe neighborhood that I felt comfortable walking alone in at night and smelled wonderful! The room was INCREDIBLY clean, and furnished beautifully with a great view. The breakfast room, however, had the best view in the house, overlooking the Bosphorus. Friendly staff and great 2-night experience.

Good location but terrible hotel

We had to change our room as the room was in a very bad condition. Stains on the bed sheet and wall. When they changed us in to another room, I was having a shower and the shower door came off... So bad The location is good and the hotel staff are pleasant however the owner needs to update the rooms ASAP as it's a health hazzard.

Good location and very helpful staff

The neighborhood was great for visiting all the mosques and museums in Sultanehmet. The hotel is an easy walk from the tram station. The room was a little worn with some soot on the wallpaper and some mold in the corners of the shower. Otherwise it was what we were looking for. We didn't need to spend much time in our room. The staff were very helpful, always willing to answer any question we had or fix any issues that came up. Breakfast was typical of a lot of Turkish breakfasts with an assortment of cheese, bread, tomatoes, cucumbers, jams, and juice.

Excellent service

Excellent services. Clean hotel but it could be better if the house keepers trained better. There are dust on the deck, window frame, mirror frame, bed frame. It seems the house keeper never wipe them off with wet cloth. I asked the hotel staff to clean them off and they did. The staff always try to make you happy by helping whatever you need. Location is good, walking distance to blue mosque, attraction, tourist area, restaurants and beach.

A very disappointing stay in an overrated hotel

When we arrived at the hotel, it looked nice and remodelled from the outside, reception and the corridors. However, when we got into our room, it all changed. Decor was very dated: furniture too big for the tiny room, very old and creaking. Curtains looked dirty... We booked a double room, but the beds were two singles pushed together, which was uncomfortable to sleep for 2 people. The bathroom was the nicest thing about the room. It was quite spacious and modern and seemed relatively clean. Later we discovered that there was a problem there too. Water from the shower cabin would not drain properly, so you had to stop the water running in order not to flood the bathroom! Quite frankly, this was very annoying, because the water flow was nice and strong, but you could not enjoy the shower. Also, if you were in the rush and wanted to shower one after another, that wasn't an option - water would take about 20mins to drain...We complained about this to reception 3 times, but nothing was resolved. Now onto the biggest problem: the terrace with a sea view, where breakfast was served. It was raining during our stay, so the terrace was literally flooded and it was absolutely freezing in there. We thought there was no way they would serve food in there, but they did. So every morning, we would have to put our jackets on to go have breakfast. Raindrops were dripping into some of the foodplates etc. You can only imagine! We only ate fresh bread and had a little coffee for 5 days!

Stayed there in November 2014!

Tasty breakfast and helpful staff but plumbing in the bathroom was not OK- bathroom was flooded after each shower! Towels were dirty! I would give it a rate of 3 from 5 overall!
