8/10 Very good

The hotel was located close to places of interests. Rooftop restaurant breakfast came with breathtaking views. The staff were helpful with excursions. The only rooms available were the basement ones, I'd highly recommend others to opt for 2nd floor upwards ones, ours smelt musty and shook each time the train went by.
Fatima, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was dirty, it was pretty cold in the room, we weren t able to turn on the AC. The room was on the street side so it was noisy. We asked for another room and we got one but the other one was also not so clean and it was cold. The staff was accommodating and polite.

AN AWFUL HOTEL - beneath contempt!
We arrived at the hotel and found it had a large notice declaring it was CLOSED. Neither the hotel nor Hotels.Com informed us. No compensation was offered other than a refund of payment. I rate this hotel as beneath contempt!

Zentral gelegen- alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Nettes, hilfsbereites Personal. In unserem Zimmer gab es kaum Ablagemöglichkeiten. Keine Garderobenhaken für Mäntel und Jacken. Im Badezimmer überhaupt keine Ablagen - Kulturbeutel auf dem Fußboden. Frühstück Geschmacksache. Viele Sachen eher für den Brunch geeignet. Aber man wird satt. Stellt man keine großen Ansprüche so kann ich das Hotel weiterempfehlen. Ansonsten haben wir die Türken als sehr freundliche Menschen kennengelernt. Istanbul immer wieder

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was wonderful. Professional and helpful at every turn. Breakfast was very good and view from enclosed terrace was nice. And location was better than expected. Just 10 minutes from most things to see and lots of good inexpensive restaurants in similar range. Very nice place to come home to after full days exploring the city.

Stuff and price was great. Infrastructure could be better.

The staff were nice and helpful. However, the rooms were very small, uncomfortable, noisy (trains and constructions), and they don’t look anything like the photos on the site.

No es un establecimiento de 4 estrellas, no brindan adecuado confort , hay que reclamar hasta que pongan sabanas y amenities de baño, El agua de gentileza te la dan 1 sola vez y los demas dias hay que pagarla, insolito para 4 estrellas. Me dieron mala informacion previa y me indicaron que al llegar a Sultanahmet desde el aeropuerto podria tomar taxi en la plaza y con sorpresa, al arribar a Sultanahmet tuvimos que caminar con 4 maletas y 2 mochilas 850 metros por calles adoquinadas y en subida porque no me indicaron que no entran los taxis a la plaza donde arriba el micro del aeropuerto.increible!! Arman la cama con 1 sola sabana, la de abajo y una manta para cubrirse, no es un hotel de 4 estrellas sino de 2, el desayuno no es bufet internacional, es un desayuno turco, se les rompio la maquina de cafe y ese dia no hubo cafe. Un desastre. Orbitz debe auditar este hotel antes de recomendarlo. El sitio esta al lado de las vias del tren y es ruidoso. Bien ubicado, pero hay muchos hoteles en la zona y mejores .

A minha estadia foi boa, porém não gostei da maneira que eles cobram a estadia. Cheguei no hotel epedi para ver o quarto e disse que iria ao banheiro e depois iria na recepção efetuar o pagamento e em menos de cinco minutos depois estavam batendo na porta dizendo que a recepção estava aguardando o pagamento. Tenho o custume de viajar para diferentes países e jamais, nem mesmo na Turquia vi tal atitude. eles já tinham minha cópia de passaporte e minhas bagagens, me senti tratada como se fosse uma ladra e que ia fugir do hotel sem pagar. Diversos hotéis inclusive pagamos a conta no check out.

Straight to the point
Amazing Hotel. Its very simple. Bathroom water is hot as hell. The room is extremely comfy. Its only about a 10 minute walk from the hagia sofia, blue mosque, topkapi and the brand bazaar. The heater is will burn you. Its that good. The tv could have more channels but other that its an excellent hotel. Breakfast is eh whatever, but good enough.

Mon séjour fut agréable et j'ai pu découvrir les environs d'istanbul. Je n'ai pas apprécié les prix des excursions surévalués par l'hotel (service de courtage payant par le client à l'hôtel.)
