There’s a separate building (not listed) where you’re expected to check in. Had I not randomly met someone staying at a different hotel they they manage, I would not have found it. The hotel elevator only goes up to the second floor then you have to walk upstairs to the third. Check in and check out is easy once you know the building. They provide laundry services and require cash (lira, euros or usd). The hotel is down the hill pictured. It’s a long walk to the top of the hill. The whole area is very hilly. Breakfast is good and is held downstairs in the main reception building. The stairs are narrow. Overall enjoyed my stay

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am disappointed. First, I didn’t get the room I reserved. Second, the bathroom is in very bad shape and not clean at all. The bed sheets were not the right fit for the mattress so they came off during the night. The cleaning lady knocked and then proceeded to come into my room while I was half undressed. She didn’t wait long enough for me to answer the door. Perhaps the hotel could implement some simple fix like hanging a “do not disturb” sign on the door which would solve this problem. If you can get past the disgusting bathroom, the hotel is, however, in a good location. It’s within walking distance from the Blue mosque, Aya Sofia, Sultan Ahmed Square, and lots of tiny little restaurants and grocery stores for conveniences. There is also some uphill walking so if you have bad knees then this might not be best option.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Istanbul. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was delicious, offering a great variety of fresh local and international options each morning. What really stood out was the outstanding hospitality. The team went above and beyond to make us feel at home and ensure our visit was enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul and would happily stay here again on my next trip. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We arrived and were immediately hit by a strong smell of cat urine throughout the property. There was even a mattress dumped in the corridor, making the place look filthy and neglected. It was so bad that we couldn’t even stay the night and left without checking in. We told the staff how horrible it was, but they did nothing to address it and showed no concern at all. I would strongly advise avoiding this place until it’s properly cleaned and managed.

Although we had booked the room months in advance and informed the property about our late arrival around midnight, there was no one available for check-in when we arrived. After waiting and asking unhelpful neighbors, we were directed to another nearby building managed by the same property. When a staff member finally arrived, we were shown a room on the third floor with no elevator, accessible only by very narrow and unsafe staircases. Our request for a first-floor room was refused. We were then offered a room in the other building with an elevator, but at almost double the price, which was very disappointing given the inconvenience.
