Splendid position, near to the tram station Ceberlitas, the most important Istanbul highlights (AyaSofia. Blue Mosque Basilica Cistern etc), the grand Bazaar, supermarkets, restaurants etc. Very safe neighborhood Very kind stuff

Nice location, all the sights are in walking range! There are a bunch of restaurants and shops around (although they are expensive compared to the normal prices) Room service, cleaning everyday. Friendly staff, 0-24 reception. Toiletries, 2in1 coffee and turkish teabags for everyday. Air conditioner. Overall good service for the price. If you want to stay in Sultanahmet I recommend this hotel.
The economy rooms are in the basement floor, so our room didn't have a window at all. The TV isn't smart, and sometimes there was no signal for hours. (By the way this was a problem in all of the hotels where we stayed, so maybe this is normal in Turkey.)

The location is really good. We could go out for a walk in the morning and come back to rest a little before going out again. That wouldn't have been possible if we had stayed far away from the center. Really well located.
Rooms are never cleaned enough during your stay, they only make your bed and change your towels but they don’t sweep or clean around the room which is usually expected after you come back from a day. It’s important to read the type of room you’re booking. They specifically say “no window room”

The staff were very helpful and friendly which made a great difference as the hotel was our home away from home for nearly a month. The staff was organised and hard-working. The restaurant had great meals. It was nice to sit outside and eat al fresco which is not possible in most other hotels.
The breakfast could have been improved with hot milk available for cereal. Hardly any fruit was available, just slices of oranges or apples. The juice was not fresh, just cordial, yet freshly squeezed orange and pomegranate juice is really cheap in Istanbul. Also, the breakfast room was a bit too small especially once the weather became colder and no one wanted to sit outside.

Breakfast was very good, the room was clean and comfortable, staff was very helpful - offering coffee while checking in or waiting for my taxi, carried bags to room and taxi , great location situated between the Blue Mosque area and the Grand Bazaar area
small thing - nice that they offer tea and coffee in the room, but coffee mugs would be a little more comfortable than paper cups

Location was great and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful.
Room and specially toilet was not cleaned the 4 nights we were at the hotel. Only towels were changed. A 5 year old can make a bed better. Housekeeping staff can do better!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Good location, near Cemberlitas tram station. I booked an economic room and those happen to be at the basement, which is, of course a little bit humid and smelly (like any other basement in Istanbul, not a particular trait of this hotel). The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and the shower had good pressure. The hotel staff was kind enough to offer me breakfast as courtesy, breakfast was buffet turkish style, very tasty and generous. I would be coming back to the hotel but definitely next time I will be booking a room upstairs
Internet reception in my room was on and off, I had to spend some time in the lobby to get some online stuff done, even thou nobody was smoking in the lobby, I got the strong smell of people smoking from outside, maybe from the bar

The staff specially Muhammad. He was very accommodating and pleasing from the time of our arrival to our check out. Saedi, too, was pleasant. The location is perfect. We were not expecting that the location is at the center of the old city where you have all the food choices available from early morning to late hours at night. The main tourist attractions are walking distance. It was very easy to locate our hotel. We were also upgraded to a bigger room with a window without us requesting. Thank you so much.
We were charged more than 100TL when we ate at their bistro. It could have been a mistake by the waiter or cashier. I asked to verify if they have tax or service charge. They only charge 10% service charge. So when I did the Math, the amount charged to my credit card was more than the total. I was not able to raise it to the bistro because the waiter was out. But he was there while I was inquiring of their SC.

Fantastic staff. I had some difference of opinion on what was included in booking where hotel manager Mehmmod clarified that it wasnt. I promised him to send a text to booking .com and get clarified. For 5 days until i stayed in hotel booking.com didnt bothered to answer me but hotel manager said irrespective of what booking.com answers, i will offer you the same for your stay free of cost as a guest at their hotel. He was fantastic and supportive all the days whenever we needed help. I appreciate hotel's customer service. location of hotel was just perfect with all most all iconic places close by.

The hotel staff was very kind and always extremely helpful. We needed a few small favors, and they never hesitated to assist us. Even though they were probably tired, they always greeted us with a smile. The area is very central and quiet, and the rooms, while small, are perfectly adequate. The shower was fantastic—the water pressure and temperature were just perfect. Towels were changed daily, and the room was cleaned every day.
Breakfast was definitely abundant but not very versatile. The coffee machine was poor quality. Some of the items on display were unclear—it wasn’t obvious what they were. Things like croissants or more “European-style” options were missing.
