The Residences are located in Sultanahmet, just a couple of minutes walk from the Ayasophia and Blue Mosque. It is surrounded by numerous restaurants and cafes but keep in mind that it is a touristy area which others may like, others don't. You can also walk to the Çemberlitas tramway station from where you can easily connect to Karaköy. Hence, location wise it is an ideal place to explore the touristic parts of Istanbul. The room itself was clean and comfortable, everything was there even hairdryer and toiletries. Always when I went out I found my room cleaned and tidied up.

The souterrain room can get quite noisy at times because of the street noise and the fact that the cleaning room is next door. For me it wasn't a big problem but if you are noise sensitive keep it in mind. The Hotel offers an Airport Shuttle to IST for 60€ which I find very pricey compared to other options.

- The hotel is located in a quiet location. - Easy access to the historic center, shops nearby. - Convenient access to the airport (12 minutes walk to M2, transfer to M11). - Although my bed didn't look comfortable from the outside, it was very comfortable to sleep on. The pillows were just the way I like them). - Daily housekeeping in the rooms. - There is a playground nearby.

My room had the following minor issues: - No temperature control on the radiators -- they are either very hot or cold. - The closet was not stable, it almost fell down a few times. Keep an eye on the kids. - The kitchen cold water faucet is located in such a way that it is impossible to turn on the cold water completely. - The toilet lid does not fit properly. - The hotel is in a low-lying area so it may be difficult for someone to get uphill.

A great place to stop in Istanbul. We walked around the entire Fatih district. There are many main historical sites of Istanbul nearby. The steep slopes on the way to the hotel simply enchanted us. It was exotic and unforgettable. The view of the sea opened up below. The place is just perfect, at the same time quiet. We enjoyed everything at the hotel. The room is as in the photo. The entire design of the room and furniture is in the same style. It was nice to be there. Room 301 on the second floor for three people. There was plenty of room. We were lucky with the neighbors, so the hotel was quiet too. There was nothing wrong with the hot water. The watering can in the shower is large and comfortable. Very comfortable mattresses. The room is warm and comfortable, the batteries are hot. You can open the windows at night. So we all slept great. There was everything necessary for life (there was only no toothpaste), but we had our own. The room has a kitchenette: a microwave, a kettle, a touch stove, a sink, a refrigerator, and enough dishes for cooking. The A-101 store (a popular Turkish supermarket) is 5-7 minutes away (from the hotel down to the first left turn, then go straight ahead. The store will be on the right). The staff is always friendly. Cleaning and towel change every day. Islam speaks English at the reception, Karina (cleaning) speaks Russian.

Vefa was an amazing host. He couldn’t have done more to help us! Alhambra Apartment Hotel was perfect for our family; within walking distance of all the tourist attractions and close to good restaurants and shops. The small kitchenette with a fridge was a good facility in the hot weather!

Nothing, but it’s at the bottom of a steep hill, so it’s worth knowing that each outing starts with a good walk!

The room was super clean and cozy, perfectly located in a great spot! The owner was incredibly friendly, always ready with helpful tips and even willing to make a call for you if needed. Felt really welcomed! 😊

Next time, I think I'll pay more attention and read the booking details more carefully. There were a few little things here and there, but when I asked for an extra chair, the owner happily provided it, which was great. Also, getting an extra pillow upon request was a nice touch! 😊

Nice hotel, very near to the city center and all comodities and touristic sites, there were normal shops and restaurants around (no tourist traps), tram station can be reached within 10-15 min (uphill !) we had been lucky that our room was quite, towards the backyard, as the environment is quite crowdy, quite some traffic bathroom was tidy, beds were comfortable access via code worked very well

There is a kitchenette, unfortunately not equiped (no knifes, spoons etc.), so we could not even make a soup or drink a coffee with sugar. Asking for spoons ended in a "very direct" YOK. As well, the room was only maintained only once in 5 days (towls changed, bed arranged etc.).

The hotel is located in the Old part of the city. All attractions are within walking distance! The staff is very friendly, they are at the reception 24/7. We rented apartments because we were traveling with two children. in the room: stove, kettle, refrigerator, plates, spoons, forks, pots, etc. Mini-gels and mini-shampoos are also provided, as well as disposable slippers. I would add 0.5l water in the refrigerator. Excellent value for money! I fell in love with your city and the wonderful people living in it.

Everything was very good. We stayed in March, when the nights are still cold - the room was very warm and the heating worked. The kitchen was small, but well equipped enough to make simple meals or breakfast. The city center is within walking distance, the street next to the house was quiet.

We could hear the neighbors upstairs very well, almost every step on the floor, but we were lucky that they were quiet. :)

The location was absolutely wonderful! You could see the sea from the streets nearby, walk to all the monuments in the area and even the grand mosque. Yet, the property managed to be in a quiet corner where you could getaway from the chaos of the touristy areas.

The size of the room for 6 people was a bit stuffy with just one bathroom + toilet to share. But I would stay here again if travelling with fewer people.

The location was just top notch and it's the cutest hotel I've seen so far.The room was more than enough to accommodate 4 people with a spacious bathroom as well, lovely decor and very pleasant and helpful staff.The owner helped us through navigating our trip and booked a boat trip for us which was absolutely gorgeous.Can not wait to go back and will definitely choose this hotel again!!!

There was nothing bad to say in regards the hotel or the staff
