Well the air conditioning was not working in one of our rooms except it everything was good
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. I was unfortunately scammed by a taxi driver in Turkey, and even though the hotel had nothing to do with my taxi booking, the staff sincerely apologized and showed great concern. One of the staff members even lent me his Istanbul card for train and bus rides when I asked how to buy one—such kindness is rare! I’m beyond satisfied with everything. The best staff, the best service, and the perfect location—just 5 minutes from the Blue Mosque. Highly recommend!
The location and price can't be beat - only 2 blocks from the Camberlitas tram and the Grand Bazaar. It is set on a side street so is quiet. I never heard anything drom outside me room. The bathroom shower could stand some attending with the wire rack being very rusty and there being some black mold. Also, the light in the bathroom was horrible for applying makeup. These were small prices to pay though for a cheap, charming, and perfectly located hotel with 24 hour desk.

Bad room condition, excellent location
Location is very good, breakfast is excellent. However, i had a triple room booked and stayed for 3 nights (4 days). As soon as i checked in water tap in bathroom wasn't working which i reported to reception and they keep saying I'll be fixed. It was fixed on the 3rd night.
Toilet door did not lock, and the shower door was only half, i reported it to the reception, he kept saying we will give you another room But wasn't the case, very disappointing.
For an economy accommodation near to everything I wanted it was really good. Bathroom could use some bleach to get rid of a bit of mold.

The Hotel is in the Old City near the main attractions. The room was a little bit old and noisy. The staff is kind but most of then don’t speak English

C’est loin d’être le grand luxe.
Bien juste pour dormir et sortir.
L’hôtel est très bien placé, à quelques pas du tramway.
Personnel au top et petit dej inclus qui remonte la note.

I don't recommend this hotel. It looks good on the pictures but that's just pretend. The place is falling apart. Everything is outdated. The AC / heat barely worked. Lamp had exposed wires. Caulking was non existent. There was mold in the bathroom. I stayed in Turkey for 10 days in a different hotel each night, and the breakfast was the worst in that hotel. I arrived and had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come back to the reception desk (middle of the afternoon). It's off a mainstreet, which is great, but the street it's on isn't the best. Big trash containers a couple of foot away from the main door, with the sidewalk full of trash (and you can smell it when you open the window).

Hotel comodo, puoi andare in quasi tutti i posti di interesse artistico e storico a piedi.
Un po’ di manutenzione sarebbero utile.

Buena ubicación pero muy pocas comodidades
La ubicación era ideal. La zona muy céntrica. Lamentablemente las instalaciones no eran muy buenas y muy ruidosas
También nos dijeron que no teníamos aire acondicionado porque normalmente lo habilitaban para familias con niños.
Creo que no repetiremos este hotel
