Highly recommend

We had a lovely stay. The rooms are small but well presented and have everything you need. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and their hospitality added to our trip. Great location to visit the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace which are all within a few minutes stroll. Recommended.

Brilliant location and value for money

The hotel was excellently located in the centre of Sultanahmet and was excellent value for money - particularly the quality and range of breakfast choices which were all included in the cost. All the staff were really helpful. I would certainly stay again.

Convenient location and friendly staff.

The staff is super friendly. The area however is very loud. The hotel isn't very well insulated so it got cold this time of year. The area however is very convenient for being a tourist.

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. The apartment was very old and not clean—there was visible dust, dirty kitchen appliances and the floors didn’t seem freshly cleaned. The bathroom was a major issue. The shower drain was completely clogged, causing flooding every time we used it. On top of that, the water temperature constantly switched from scalding hot to freezing cold, making it nearly impossible to shower comfortably. The reception desk was not very responsive—I had to ask 2–3 times before getting any help, and even then, the was no follow up. The property felt neglected and poorly managed.

I want to begin with saying that the staff at By Kinyas Hotel were incredibly friendly and had a very warm and gracious disposition. That's about all I can say that was positive about the experience. First, I thought I was getting a hotel room, but what we actually got was an apartment above the shop that was right next to the hotel and managed by them. Normally, this would be an upgrade, but this was not the case. So, where do I begin? Let's start off with that the air conditioner in the bedroom was not working. The fan worked, but it didn't blow out any cold hair. However, the air conditioner in the living room where our children slept did work. As you know, it is quite hot in Istanbul and at night, sleeping in the bedroom became unbearable. It got so bad, we took the mattress off the bed and pulled it into the living room so we could sleep. That was okay, but then there blackout curtains don't cover the entire window and we had a glaring light from the street lights outside illuminating the living room, which made it impossible for me to get much sleep. Thankfully, young kids can sleep through almost anything and perhaps you'd be okay with that, but for me, I couldn't stand it. Next, was the shower. Where do I start? First, there is a ton of black mold in the shower. I took many photos for proof. Also, the drain didn't work either. Whenever you would shower, the basin would fill up and overflow in the floor and just a few minutes.
