This is exactly as advertised! Hosts were very kind, offering tea and coffee all day as well as the complimentary breakfast. Perfect location for getting to all major attractions in the city as well as lots of dining options nearby. Would definitely recommend as an affordable stay in Istanbul!

Disliked: Room comfort
They charged me 30 pounds extra as commission and tax which was unjustified. AC was not working. Breakfast was good.
Location is great but hygiene, furniture, service, room size, are poor. No elevators and very narrow stairways. Hygiene is on the downside, Always a weird smell.
The bathroom never was cleaned. Our bedroom wasn’t ready. We had to move to other bedroom. Nobody was there when we arrived.
The stairs are very poorly built, if you go with the elderly it will be very difficult for them to climb. If you go with heavy suitcases you will suffer a lot there. There is no elevator.
Dirty, not maintained, poor condition and service.
Dirty, bad service, hot, no AC.
It’s a hostel so no amenities, no cleaning items, nothing.
The terrace shown in the picture is not available for that use. There are few tables, not cleaned, no light available, not clean….
Temizlik her gün söylememize rağmen yapılacağı söylenip asla yapılmadı. Kesinlikle temizlik beklemeyin. Klimalı diye yazarken 3 odanın sadece 1inde klima vardı
Très bien placé, personnels sympathiques et belle vue depuis la terrasse, mais c’est les seuls points positifs. La propreté laisse à désirer (toilette pas propre, coton tige sale sur le sol de la salle de bain…), tout est cassé, … pas génial.
Das Hotel ist eine Katastrophe
Sauberkeit überhaupt nicht gegeben
Personal hat keinen Zeit um die Zimmer zu reinigen
Ein Beispiel
Toiletten Papier war alle mußten selbst welches organisieren aus dem Marktladen von schräg gegenüber
Wer nur Schlafen möchte und sich frisch machen möchte ist in dem Hostel gut aufgehoben
Das Frühstück ist auch eine einzige Katastrophe
Sind immer außerhalb Frühstück len gegangen!

Buena ubicación pero es muy básico
Es un hostal muy básico, igualmente el desayuno, entre las cosas buenas esta la ubicación. El servicio de recepción no trabaja 24/7 para que lo tomen en cuenta. Es un lugar prácticamente para ir a dormir solamente.
Hotel tres bien place a proximite de la mosquee bleue.
Le personnel agreable est tres a l ecoute.
Chambre simple avec le confort nécessaire pour passer un bon sejour dans le plus beau quartier d Istanbul.
Unfassbar schlecht!! nicht mal tiere sollten da drin shlaffen dürfen!! kein personal an der rezeption an anderer Herr von neben an kam mit Telefon!! Zimmer waren sehr sehr dreckig Wände waren vershimmelt!!! Mussten die Unterkunft wechseln und haben kein geld Zurück bekommen!
Une CATASTROPHE
J'ai été au téléphone avec votre collègue qui m'avait dit qu'elle allait m'envoyer un lien pour envoyer les photos de l'état catastrophique des lieux, rien n'est arrivé !
Je veux une réponse !
Konum olarak sultanahmet meydanina yuruyerek 4-5 dakika mesafe de , hemen onune bosluk varsa araba park edilebiliyor, kahvahltisi acik bufe standart ekstra bir sey yok , lüks aramayip , tek gecelik konaklama için ucuz bir yer arıyorsanız tercih edilebilir .

В целом все понравилось .Отличное расположение и очень доброжелательный персо нал!
Otelde 18 kişi konakladık. Otel hizmetlerini ve otel çalışanları tutumunu çok beğendik. İstanbul maratonu için istanbul daydık ve koşu öncesi söz verdirdiği gibi kahvaltıyı 06:00-06:30 arası hazırladı ve problem yaşamadan maraton transfer otobüslerine yetiştik. Bundan sonraki koşularda ilk tercihimiz bu otel olacak. İlgi ve hassasiyet için teşekkürler
Overall the location was good, just about what you could expect from a hostel, and the are is perfect for turist just a walking distance or bus ride from major touristic attractions in Istanbul
Comfy bed and good breakfast but the location is not the greatest,the toilet was broken and unclean, facilities need to improve the room i got was totally messy and unclean, finally the rooftop "the trace" has great view.

Gets the job done, but nothing special.
It's a very basic hostel, it's not much but you get what you paid for.
Pros: Nearby to sights. Easy to get to airport via bus. Great views from roof. Friendly staff.
Cons: Bathrooms are not clean and smell horrible. Rooms are cramped and stuffy.

Buen hotel para viajeros
El personal increíble, muy amables y te ayudan, cambie 1 de las habitaciones en mi entrada ya q las 2 habitaciones q reservé no tenían baño privado y pague por ello 50€ de más, las escaleras no son muy cómodas para personas mayores ya q son altas, estrechas y en espiral, en toda la semana en las 2 habitaciones no entraron a limpiar y nosotros cambiábamos las sábanas y toallas, salvo esto las vistas de las terrazas espectaculares de la ciudad y Sultanahmet, la mejor zona de todo el centro ya todo esta muy muy cerca, en una semana solo cogimos el transporte 1 vez, gestionaron el transporte del aeropuerto al hotel y la vuelta y muy cómodo, el desayuno me gustó mucho, aunque algún dulce faltaría pero igualmente muy bueno, el personal lo mejor, muy amables, simpáticos y atentos.
El hotel es bastante lindo, tiene su propio restaurante y una terraza increíble, me quede en una habitación privada con baño y estuvo vatsante bien, cómoda y limpia, el acceso a las habitaciones no es muy cómodo ya que son grandes escalones en un pasillo muy estrello, así que no lo recomiendo para personas de edad o personas con discapacidad. Por todo lo demás estuvo muy bien la estadía, la ubicación es estupenda, a solo unos pasos de el bazar y a unas cuantas cuadras de la mesquita! Todo estaba limpio y la atención fue buena, sin embargo el desayuno podría mejorar, tiene poca variedad, unas cuantas verduras, pan y cereal! No obstante volvería a hospedarme ahí, muy buena relación precio/ beneficio
