Klein gemoedelijk hotel op goede lokatie

Voor niet veel geld toch een goed hotel. Het is geen luxe hotel, maar de kamers zijn schoon, de bedden goed en het personeel is erg bereidwillig om je een prettig verblijf te bezorgen. Het is een klein hotel en daardoor ook gemoedelijk en persoonlijker. Het ligt in een rustige buurt, zodat je lekker kan slapen zonder lawaai, dicht bij een metrostation en Aya Shopia, met metro is alles makkelijk te bereiken. Het ontbijt is eenvoudig maar compleet en je kan zoveel eten als je wil, het wordt gewoon weer aangevuld. Wat ons betreft een aanrader, wanneer je niet teveel wilt betalen en toch een goed verblijf wilt hebben.

Об отеле.

Если по существу, то отель по мне, слишком тесный!!! В совмещенном санузле можно находиться только в позе "солдат в строю". Чтобы вытереться необходимо выйти. Все скромно, порадовало отсутствие насекомых. Завтрак нормальный и расположение выгодное с точки зрения доступности основных туристических обьктов и транспорта. Первый опыт дешевых отелей, поэтому ругать не стану, но по моему дороговато за предоставляемый уровень услуг. На кухне работа рускоговорящая женщина, ей особая благодарность.

I do not recommend this place at all

Staff: do NOT speak English. Even the receptionists. not only they could not help with nothing; but also if I had an issue or complain (no water , no cleaning etc) it would not get addressed AT ALL. Cleaning: I came home and my room was not serviced. No clean towel , no shampoo, no soap, garbage was still there, used towels still on the floor, and bed was not made. This is considering that "daily housekeeping" was listed as one of the services they had to offer. When I asked the receptionist , they obviously could not speak English or understand me. Breakfast: very basic. For example strawberries were smoothed and rotten and cucumbers were also watery and not fresh at all. There was not much you could choose from. Locations: it's in Sultanahmet, but it's a 20 minute Uphill walk from the metro and from the Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia. I can tell you will be able to find better hotels in the neighbourhood that closer to those listed places with the same or better price. Building condition: recently renovated so that was nice. But no elevators and you will have to walk up and down ALot of stairs even if you are only on second floor (there are three floors). 1st night; from 3-10:30pm there was no water in the building. So no shower, no washing hands and face, no tea or drink is the whole hotel. That was extremely inconvenient and the staff did not do anything to help. Such as offering to buy spring water, or somehow compensating for their shortcoming.

Wins on location, decidedly not on comfort

Wonderfully located hostal, family run. Room very small, no chair. AC. Room not cleaned over 5 nights. Be aware of variable charges as I paid for 4 nights at one price and an additional night was oddly 18 pounds cheaper! Nice roof terrace with views over the Sea of Marmera. Adequate, if highly variable breakfast included.

Excellent Service

I stayed at the hotel for four days overall and found the staff to be friendly, helpful and efficient. The room was a good size and very comfortable. The breakfast room was at the top of the hotel and had a delightful view of the harbour. I should point out that there is no lift and the stairs are the old - fashioned spiral sort, so if you are as unhealthy as I am, they are a bit of a struggle.The location was quite good. Near enough to the sites to get to easily and far enough away to be peaceful.

Отель очень удобно расположен. Все достопримечательности в шаговой доступности. Состояние отеля в целом оставляет приятное впечатление. Особенно приятно поразил русскоговорящий персонал (в частности, сотрудник отеля Ирина ). Она помогли и в организации трансфера в аэропорт, и в решении небольших бытовых вопросов, возникающих в ходе проживания. К несущественному минусу можно отнести разве что не совсем удобную планировку номера. При соотношении цена-качество отель в целом оправдывает ожидания.

You Pay For What You Get

No elevator in this hotel. If you have luggage, you will have to bring it up one or two flights of stairs and back down again when you checkout. You will also have to bring it up a few more stairs in order to reach the hotel's main entrance. The street location of this hotel is near railroad tracks and unpleasant. It can get scary at night with no people around. The room I was in was never cleaned my entire stay. Water in shower gets warm, not hot at best. Same with faucet. Heat in room gets warm at its highest setting. Bathroom was dirty with mold on the shower walls and shower floor. Disgusting bathroom. Room had holes in the wall and needed repair. Picture of room shown on Expedia was not at all the room I received. Most staff cannot speak English, especially at night. No phone in the room. Buffet breakfast, if you want to call it that, is very limited. You cannot sleep in the morning due to all the noise from people going up and down the stairs to get breakfast. Breakfast is serve on the top floor, gets chilly, bring a coat when you go to eat breakfast. No safe deposit box in room and no where to store your computer / electronics in the lobby. Be aware of many scam artists in the area of the hotel as well.

Great Value Hotel/Guesthouse

This is a pretty good hotel, especially for what you're paying for. I actually stayed here 2 nights. The first room was a bit below my expectations since the shower did not drain properly, so I had to run it off and wait for the water to drain. But other than that, the room was spacious and clean. The second night I stayed we were in a different room and had to go many flights up the stairs. Definitely not a hotel for the handicapped or disabled. The room was better, but the water in the shower wasn't as hot as I would have liked. I guess you can't have it all here, but you do get what you pay for. And it was still worth it, in my opinion. The best part about this hotel is the service. Violetta and Yesse ran the front desk and were very friendly and helpful. They left me with a good impression of this place, despite the shower issues. The location is perfect for Old City Sultanahmet and right behind the Blue Mosque. It's only a couple minute walk from the Hippodrome and a 9 minute walk to the Sultanahmet Tramway Station. The Wi-Fi and breakfast was free, so that was nice also. They provide you with cereals, European ham, cheeses, bread, and olives, the typical Turkish breakfast, alongside tea or coffee. I would stay here again when I go back to Istanbul.

Прекрасное расположение! Это самый главный плюс! Заселили в 2 часа ночи без проблем, мы даже не предупреждали, что приедем так поздно. В номере чисто, уютно, полотенца, тапочки, мыло, шампунь. Из окна неплохой вид на пролив. На кухне работает хорошая женщина из Грузии, любит русских, специально для нас сделала яичницу плюсом к тому, что уже было на кухне (сыры, овощи, колбаса, чай, кофе, хлеб, оливки, маслины). На ресепшне девочка тоже почти все понимает по-русски, проблем ни с чем не было =)

Decent Place

Friendly staff and great location. The rooms were cramped and in a slight state of disrepair. Not bad for just sleeping the night, but not recommended if you are the type of person who spends time lounging in the room. Plenty of restaurants close by and within walking distance to the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar.
