My first impressions are still valid. Very polite and helpful staff. Clean lobby, clean room and delicious breakfast. Note: They have increased the variety of breakfast. It is better this way, guys. I think it should continue like this in every way.☺️

Nothing.

The location is great, lots to explore nearby.. Hardly a 7 mins walk from Blue mosque..

Room ventilation isn’t great.. The breakfast could do with more variety.

Hotel open 24/7. Our flight was in the evening. After we checked out at 12:00, they kept our luggage free of charge throughout the day.

The young guys at the reception organize taxis and transfers to the airport. I stayed for 1 night. Everything was great

location, breakfast & proximity to attractions, transport, shops & restaurants . Attentive staff, luggage storage & scales, safe & secure 24 hour front desk. Lift after walking all day. Access to kitchen/microwave after breakfast. Room 102 was nice, clean & spacious. 2 single beds & 1 double bed & still had lots of space with desk, stool, a table & chair, mini fridge and wardrobe. View from windows not so great but we weren't too bothered. Hot showers throughout stay and AC was good after coming in on a chilly night.

Slight smell from drainage in the bathroom ( nothing some thick beach cannot fix).

The staff was extremely kind and helpful. We were fortunate to find this accommodation late in the evening after our flight back home was canceled, and the hotel team played a significant role in making our extended stay a pleasant experience. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, the breakfast is varied, and the location is excellent – just a 7-minute walk from the T1 station, which will undoubtedly be useful during your stay. We especially appreciated the front desk staff's willingness to assist us with luggage storage after check-out. We will gladly return for our next vacation in Istanbul!

We booked Rate Kadirga Antik Hotel due to an unexpected layover in Istanbul after our flight was canceled, and it turned out to be a fantastic stay! The room was very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, making our short stay truly enjoyable. The staff was extremely polite and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the old city, just a short walk from all the major landmarks. Perfect for exploring Istanbul! Highly recommend this hotel, whether for a quick stopover or a longer visit. 😊

We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Nice, very clean hotel with a perfect location, close to all tourist attractions (10 min walk), bars, cafes, shops. Very friendly and caring staff. Good breakfasts with a variety of local food (very tasty). Coffe machine available 24/7. Big thank you to the lady who was serving breakfast and was looking after us and making sure we had everything. Reception staff are also very friendly and happy to help anytime. Very good communication prior to our arrival. Good value for money. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Big comfortable room with lovely clean bathroom. Nice little private balcony looking upon the busy street and larger shared rooftop with city and port views. Staff checking us in were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Offered to make us up a breakfast to go when we communicated we were going to be checking out well before included breakfast started.

WiFi did not work well in our room at all or upon the rooftop. It was noted there were three different networks, one for each floor and all performed intermittently at best. We were trying to download podcasts for a long drive the next day and had to sit in the stairwell for it to work. Also had a bit of a potentially innocent moment where a younger staff member knocked on our door holding an air conditioner remote (we did not have a remote in our room but made no note of it) and a room key. When I answered (in boxer shorts) he shied away and apologised but didn’t come back to my calls that it was fine and what did he need. Could have got the wrong room but also potentially dodgy (it was by no means a hot night).

The location is perfect, I have read in some review that the steep road to the closest tram station is an issue: yes the road is a bit steep but to be honest it literally takes 3 minutes to closes tram station, and if you walk around and take 5 minutes you can take a less step road, so no issue whatsoever. The Hotel is clean and the interior is fairly modern. Wifi was very good and the personnel very nice and always trying to help.

In my room the toilet seat was much smaller than the toilet, not a big issue but slightly annoying, also because it would not stand without me holding it with my hands. Also it was very close to the shower, so a bit uncomfortable to use. Also there was no kettle, it would be nice to have the change to have coffee in the room. All minor issues anyway but worth mentioning them. Beds were a bit too soft for my taste.
