It was a really nice lokation. Supermarket and restaurants only 5 min far by walk. The Beyazit trampway station (the grand bazar) was only 10 min far by walk from the hotel. Everything was nice and very clean, the bathroom was very clean. Nice furnitures and a very comfortable bed. Shared kitchen with a nice garden to sit in. The staff Pusat, Ali and Baris were very sweet, polite, serviceminded and always helpful with everything. I would really recommend this pleasant little hotel.

Omar and Alis’ hospitality was exceptional. From the moment of arrival to our departure five days later they offered interesting tidbits of information to enhance our wandering through this incredible ancient city. They introduced us to a tiny kebab place that served the freshest kebabs and most generous portions at less than a third of the cost anywhere we have traveled. We travel a lot so we tend to shy away from daily ostentatious food expenditures. We also prefer to spend our funds on the experience as opposed to palatial marble front entrances. The quaint little hotel is located in the Sultanhamet district. There are many small independently run operations like this all over Istanbul located amongst a web of narrow cobblestone alleys and roads. Somehow, the drivers manage to get their vehicles through without incident. The rooms are small and compact but these are redeveloped original housing dating back hundreds of years. It was a true delight to have met these gentlemen. Our stay in Istanbul was truly enhanced by their generosity and kindness.

Very kind and helpful staff. Lovely room that was tidied up every day and had a lot of useful commodities such as slippers for the bathroom and basic cutlery/portable stove to prepare some food. Airport transfer available. Within walking distance to most historical attractions.

The staff was fantastic - Ali (the owner) and his colleague were always welcoming us at the reception with smile and greetings. They managed to order a taxi, give us a hints about the city and they sell the SIM cards for tourist so you don´t really need to go to any branch to get them. I usually dont really expect any servis anywhere, coz Im bugget traveller, but service wich they provided was outstanding. Such a friendly helpfull duo. Hopefully I will see them soon :)

good location after all close to transports and the historic city centre. great hosts, good customer service

the property is entirely made out of wood… so… the rooms are not well isolated.

Amazing service from Ali and his cousin, both so kind and helpful during our stay. The hotel is located near the main attractions places like the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque and about 10 minutes to the tramway and to the famous Grand Bazaar so it was very convenient for a first time in the beautiful and busy Istanbul. Our room was spacious, beautifully arranged and clean. Also very affordable for a small budget. Thanks to the wonderful people who works and manage this place, you've been the kindest, really! We will definitely coming back on our second visit to Istanbul. Isabelle and Thao

Nothing.

It is a dated building and at the bottom of a hill. To get to the main attractions, you have to climb winding roads. On the way up, you see ladies manufacturing sandals, like it is 1920. It is a less developed part of town, but I always felt safe as a solo traveler, even late at night. But for the value, the quiet, the charm and the historic aspect, and most of all, the exceedingly friendly hosts, I would stay again. Bed was the right level of firmness. Shower had good pressure. There is a kitchen and fridge that guests can use.

House cleaning was patchy. Sometimes they would miss towels, sometimes not clean. Aircon stopped working if other guests pushed the wrong buttons. But the hosts were always available to fix things up. As it is a dated building, you can hear footsteps on the stairs and rooms above during the day. But it quieted down at night at sleep time.

I recommend it! Great location, clean and comfortable. It's only a 10-minute walk from Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and just a few minutes from the seaside promenade. There are shops and restaurants in the side streets, and the hotel kitchen is available for your use. Although it's close to tourist attractions, the location is quiet and peaceful, allowing you to relax and get a good night's sleep. The host is fantastic and available at any time for anything you need.

Omar at reception desk was very hospitable and helpful, he gave us a lot of tips for exploring Istanbul.

Faucets in showers need to be renoveted.

simplicity of rooms, but fair enough and value for money best thing were our hosts: Omar and Ali amazing hospitality and kindness
