Review summary

Powered by OpenAI

The hotel boasts exceptional staff and ideal location to explore Sultanahmet area and main tourist attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, both just a short walk away. Breakfast is a highlight with a good variety of options including eggs, cheese, jam, and bread.

Few guests reported room cleanliness issues due to bad smell and ant infestations, leading to health issues. Breakfast quality and choices were limited at times, and a few guests faced non-working air conditioning that caused discomfort. However, most guests had a pleasant stay.

    “Good location”

    Good location, very close to Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia. The facilities are fairly complete, with a mattress, wardrobe, AC, and a fairly comfortable toilet. The drawbacks are that the room is not very clean, there are many cigarette butts on the balcony that should have been cleaned beforehand, there is no elevator, it’s a bit difficult if you’re carrying a large suitcase, and storing a large suitcase incurs a charge of 500 lira in case you exceed the check-out schedule but still want to go sightseeing.

    “Good location, very basic and a bit moldy”

    This is an excellent location and the breakfast was good for filling us up for the day with eggs, bread and cheese. But it is a very basic and somewhat creepy room and no access to a balcony as advertised. Which was disappointing, since we were there for new Years Eve. There was one sheet on the bed and then a very well used and unsure of cleanness fluffy blanket. A second sheet and a washable duvet cover would have been preferred. The feel of the room certainly made check for bedbugs and feel paranoid even thought there were none. The shower needs a good clean to get rid of mold and the balcony needs to be made accessible. You can open the door to it but it is full of junk and tools and a boiler and no ability to see any of the view as it is cover in plastic sheeting. So, good location but take a liner to sleep in and only use it as a place to sleep, not enjoy.

    “Good location ”

    I spent only one night, the room was clean but the toilet was dirty and a wet cloth on the floor. The is no common area and the terrace was basically storage for old furniture. The reception was polite and helpful to give directions.

    “Everything is terrible except location ”

    The only good thing about this hostel is its location . Unfortunately, everything else was quite disappointing. The cleanliness was poor, the rooms were not maintained well, the washroom had a constant bad smell, and there were no basic cleaning supplies provided. Breakfast was often incomplete, with essentials like eggs and milk running out early, barley minimum variety,quality of food was not good.. Overall, not a comfortable stay, especially for families with kids. The manager is indifferent and didn’t listen to us about all our concerns and disrespectful. Would not recommend.Don’t fall for this nonsense ever please.
