“disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2011

On arrival (8 pm) told the twin room we had booked was not ready and wouldn't be for a couple of hours as it had water problems...but they had 1 room left which was a triple. As it was late at night in an unfamiliar place we felt we had to take it....then we were made to pay the extra for it in advance.
When we eventually got to meet the owner he said he would refund the difference between the cost of the 2 rooms and despite several assurances from him that he is going to do it or has done it over the phone whilst in Turkey and since our return we still have had nothing from him........not a welcome start to a holiday

Stayed October 2010, travelled with friends

“Well located little hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2010

My boyfriend and I had a great experience at this hotel! The staff, Ibrahim especially, was extremely cordial and helpful, the rooms were small and clean, the breakfast buffet was good (even wonderful, compared to the other ones we've been to in Turkey), and the roof top had an amazing view of the city (you can look over the Marmara when you eat breakfast). A great location from which to explore Istanbul's Sultanahmet sites. If you're interested in spending time on the European side, however, this is a pretty far walk, so you might want to stay at a place closer to the Golden Horn.

“mediocre”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2010

Clean rooms. Well positioned for Sultanahmet sites - Able to walk around the district in the evenings undisturbed. ( apart from routine Istanbul touting - excessive) Pleasant staff.
Prepare for the difference between advertised room price, 'special offers' & front of desk arrival banter ( cash - no cash/credit cards) - for a lethargic receipt and reluctant/non return (assumed as 'tip' before you have the chance to suggest/decide that option) of the change.
Definitely 'no frills' - bring own mini toiletries etc. Meals ho hum.
