    Not a bad stay for budget travellers…a lot of room for improvement, though

    -The rooms are quite small and do not have sufficient light. - The stairs are very narrow too. - They have microwave and kettle in the kitchen but no hot plate. - The sink in the bathroom is just too small and a mirror is oddly placed on top of it. - No signboard outside the property- people may struggle finding it especially coming late night.

    -The location of the property is good. Walking distance to the blue mosque and Hagia Sofia. Cafes, restaurants and markets all within five minutes walk. -Coffee, tea and toiletries provided. -comfortable bed (personal preference). -Friendly staff who helped us putting luggage in our room.

    Nothing really just didn't accept the credit card and asked for cash only while it's mentioned that hotel accept credit cards. For the other days they accepted credit card.

    The place makes you feel like a home with a great family. Room is nice and affordable also it's clean with nice AC, small kitchen, small refrigerator and table. Bathroom is great it has hot shower and toilet. Location near to metro by 20 mins walking and also near to famous mosques also bus like 10 mins. Location is not very crowded and this is an advantage not like taksim. The location has everything around restaurants, bakery, super market, money exchange office and many clothing shops I extended my stay for another 4 days because of the hospitality. They need only one thing to have a nice rooftop to stay and enjoy talking upstairs. There's a crazy 🤣 cat there take care from it hehhehe

    Some weird loud noises on the other side of the wall. Cash payment only. Should put a name outside of the apart hotel (at first was having a hard time looking for the place). No lifts.

    Berkhan and the kid receptionist were really helpful and accommodating. They have a lovely playful cat. Room is very clean and tidy. Location is close to touristy places like Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosques.

    room needs lots of renovation many things are partially broken ( but honestly everything is working fine ). DONOT get room 401 (the ground floor room) at any cost. it is in the entrance of the building and always noisy with zero privacy and sound proofing. i think you will have much better experience with upper floors rooms.

    awesome location, very good room size.

    Great small hotel for young people.

    Difficult to find and a bit hard to walk in that area, as it is too crowded all day long. Definitely not for people with movement disabilities, but great for young people. Exploring the area walking was hard but fun.

    Nice, clean and spacious room. The receptionist was always very helpful and answer my questions. Overall nice small hotel but a bit far from the main attractions. But if you prefer visiting nice restaurants instead of attractions, the Kumkapi dining area is 50 miters away. Also the room had a refrigerator and some dishes ready for me.

    Quality/price ratio is not the best: room is big compared to other hostel in Istanbul, but not that big. Definitely, it looks a lot bigger from the pics. It was difficult to find it because it has no name on the bell, neighter signs on the building (turkish people are generally helpfull though, so we had a nice and unprogrammed ask-for-help with the neighbours). Walls let in every single sound from outside (most of all from other rooms).

    We spent here one night and appreciated the location. It is quite close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia area and also to the metro station. More over, in the area there are plenty of possibilities to taste turkish food. The shower is big and perfect to chill out after a long travel. The bed is very comfotable.

    The location was perfect for me, close by to restaurants and a close c.20 min walk from the tours I had planned. Tuncay the owner was polite, friendly and helpful. As a female travelling alone I was made to feel very safe. The hotel is very good value for money and did just what it needed to. I would definitely recommend.

    This is a really good place to say but unfortunately I had a bad experience as I arrived at 7am in the freezing snow and rain and was outside for an hour as no one was at reception. I got flu and very sick as a direct result. Its a shame as it's a good room and good location. If you're on the first floor you can hear people talking downstairs. Sorry!

    Good room and comfortable bed. Great location.

    1. No towels or bath mats. 2. Tiles in the shower are not non-slip, so you take your life in your hands when having a shower. 3. Shower door was broken. 4. Half a roll of toilet paper given for 2 people for 3 days. 5. No one there during check-out. You put the key in the door and leave. 6. Aircon set at 25° with no option to change it 7. Difficult to find. Both of our shuttle services struggled to find the place. No signage. 8. Room was dirty when we arrived. It felt like they were not expecting us.

    Location is great - within walking distance to a ton of shops and restaurants.
