Staff was super helpful and friendly. The room was very quiet. The toilet was too close to the shower meaning you had to have some part of you in the shower to use it. The curtains failed to block the outside light from coming in. The bed mattress could be replaced. If I ever go back to Istanbul that’s the place I would stay. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenton 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The side hotel is a small boutique hotel with old world charm.

Noe som var skuffende siden vi hadde basert oss på andre positive anmeldelser angående frokosten. Vi endte opp med å spiste frokost på andre siden av gaten, North Art Coffee & Breakfast - anbefales på det sterkeste. Rommet var helt ok, men bærer preg av at det er behov for renovering, spesielt av badet. Heldigvis var det rent og vi fikk nye håndklær daglig. Ansatte i resepsjonen var superhyggelige og serviceinnstilt. Ga oss også gode anbefalinger på steder å spise middag. Beliggenhet var også helt perfekt med gangavstand til veldig mange attraksjoner, offentlig transport og restauranter. ##### Trine Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Argelia 20 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love this hotel, staff very nice and helpful.

Friendly and helpful staff especially at the front desk. Hotel itself is no frills, clean and basic. Great shower and a decent breakfast provided each morning. We would be happy to stay again. A small word of caution, there is no lift so if you have mobility issues best to request a ground floor room. ##### ibrahim Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Istanbul-Kalamis-Marina-Hotel.h5484206.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sofitel-Istanbul-Taksim.h42400472.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Barcelo-Istanbul.h32516024.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Istanbul - Old City by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Istanbul-Old-City.h2211742.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel President Old Town Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-President-Beyazit-Istanbul.h9345.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-The-Bosphorus.h1856092.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Istanbul.h9719651.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Istanbul.h14428.Hotel-Information) > > [Dosso Dossi Hotels & Spa Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Dosso-Dossi-Hotels-Spa-Downtown.h9981839.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h20867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bomonti-Hotel-Conference-Center.h6226720.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h565576.Hotel-Information) > > [Address Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Address-Istanbul.h68277409.Hotel-Information) > > [The G Hotels Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Divan-Suites-Istanbul-G-Plus.h8768240.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Istanbul Florya by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Istanbul-Florya.h11628263.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Yasmak Sultan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hotel-Yasmak-Sultan.h527417.Hotel-Information) > > [Raffles Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Raffles-Istanbul.h8273536.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Istanbul Ataköy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Istanbul-Atakoy.h9127669.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Encore By Wyndham Istanbul Basin Express](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Ramada-Encore-By-Wyndham-Istanbul-Basin-Express.h38506356.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Istanbul City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Sheraton-Istanbul-City-Center.h38329865.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton By Hilton Istanbul Old City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Istanbul-Old-City.h72278508.Hotel-Information) > > [Doubletree By Hilton Istanbul Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Istanbul-Old-Town.h3758303.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Taksim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Occidental-Taksim.h1160507.Hotel-Information) > > [Niles Hotel Istanbul - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Niles-Hotel-Istanbul-Special-Class.h1583001.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Pera Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Villa-Pera-Suite-Hotel.h6186661.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Istanbul Old City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Celal-Aga-Konag.h33103149.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Quasar Istanbul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Fairmont-Quasar-Istanbul.h16385021.Hotel-Information) > > [Ottoman's Life Hotel Deluxe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Ottomans-Life-Hotel-Deluxe.h33628831.Hotel-Information)
