Location is good, but everything else is beyond "HORRIBLE". The three girls working there are polite, but this cannot be classified as a habitable building. It needs to be demolished and redone.
Not recommended
rooms are so dirty not maintained well ,need a lot of renovation, too many dust underneath the bed.
No elevator , the hotel is open anyone can go upstairs and be on your door
Food is horrible and way too expensive, they would rip you off
Not safe if you're a female traveler on your own

The staff put us up in an "updated" room and it ended up being a whole different hotel that was about 8 minutes from the hostel itself; isolating us from any of the social events and overall location.
The room we were in was not at all what we booked and no staff was at the location in the event of getting locked out or, for example, needing assistance and them taking an hour to get someone out there.
While I'm sure the actual location was good, we will never know.
You get what you pay for here.The hotel was not perfect, but it served its purpose if you want to be close to everything. Parking is limited and first come, first serve. Our room had a noticeable smell, the A/C didn’t work, and we had to ask for basic things like towels. There was no soap provided for washing hands, and the neighborhood itself was not very quiet. The pictures online made the property look a lot different than it does in person.
That being said, the staff was extremely nice and welcoming, and the general/common areas were actually quite nice. Despite the issues, the location and friendliness of the staff made it convenient enough that we would consider staying here again.
We stayed on the 3/F of the building without an elevator. The fortune part was that the staff helped us to take most of the luggages into our room. The worst part was that we had to walk 3 floors every day at least 2 times. Our room was dirty and toilet was not cleaned at all, we found a slipper under our bed. The lighting was dark.
The photos shown on the website aren’t exactly what we see. Would recommend this hotel to do some renovation works sooner or later.
The staff are quite helpful but the breakfast wasn’t suitable for our taste, cold dishes with breads and coffee!
The location is okay, easy to access to most of the tourist points.

Berbat bir konaklama
Check in saatinin 13:00 olarak ifade edildiği rezervasyonda resepsiyonist 15.00 olarak bize aktardı ve bizi 15:00’da odaya aldı. Daha önce saat 11 gibi erken giriş talebimiz bulunmasına rağmen... Check out saati de 12:00 olarak yazılıyken kendileri 11:00 olduğunu söylediler. Tuttuğumuz oda fotoğraftakilerden çok daha farklıydı. Tamamiyle fotoğrafları fake yani gerçek değil. Oda ise inanılmaz kötüydü. Klozetin olduğu noktaya yukarıdan su damlıyordu. Kapının açılıp kapanması zor bir şeydi. Odanın konumu bahçe katı ama kapalı bir alan be rutubetli bir yerdeydi. Kısacası otel tamamiyle aldatmacaya yönelik bir yol izliyor.
photos on line looked nothing like actual room. it was filthy, tiny, shower trickled water, dead bugs in sheets. however, most of the staff was quite friendly. sadly, it is not staff i will remember most. and i am not normally one to post negative comments, but this one...well, i feel i needed to speak up.
There was no television, they hadn't changed or made sheets, the curtains were ripped. The room wasn't ready or cleaned for our stay which was very disappointing. The only redeeming qualities were the location and the kind people.

Tarihi İstanbulun İçinde Olmak...
Hotelin temizliği daha iyi olabilir.Yardımcı olmaya çalışırlar. Konakladığınız odadan odaya otelin özelikleri değişiyor. Deniz manzaralı odalarda konaklama şansını bir kez yakalayabildim;ondan sonra sokağa bakan odalardan birinde kalırsanız hayal kırıklığı oluyor. Sultanahmet meydanına yakınlığı fena sayılmaz.

The staff had been amazing. The best thing of the hostel.Would really recommend the place to anyone visiting the city. I’ve been lucky to stay here as aparently it’s the hostel with the best vibe in whole Istanbul.
If you want to discover Istanbul night scene don’t miss the pub crawls on Wednesday. Great party and organisation.
Breakfast included is very decent and views to the sea is a nice plus. The room was very clean and replacement of towels and soap every day.
Few small cons; the lighting in the room was’nt great; felt really dark. Some common areas like the stairs are in poor condition. The hostel is facing a highway and the windows don’t insulate enough the noise and can be a little annoying.
manque de propreté dans les chambres, manque des femmes de chambre pas d entretien chaque jour on rentre et trouve la chambre sale, serviettes déchirées on change pas les draps et serviettes.
petit déjeuner nul avec les chats qui sautent sur les assiettes. employé de la réception gentil . je ne recommande pas cet hôtel.
Terrible, sucio, personal del hotel sin mayor empatía con los huéspedes, toallas rotas, sucias, desayuno lo mismo y con dos opciones, no lo recomiendo para nada en la segunda noche nos cambiamos de hotel. Dinero perdido
vannlekasje fra klima anlegg på gulvet under hele oppholdet mitt dvs 2uker , ikke fungerte klima anlegg og tv, ikke varmt vann i 2dager og måtte dusje med kaldtvann , hotelmanager brydde seg ikke om klagene , vi brukte søppel kassen for å hindre at vannet fra taket ikke skade Kofferten og personlige eiendelene våre.

Los muebles son muy antiguos, el desayuno bien con variedad, la limpieza no era su punto fuerte, el entorno bien situado a 10 minutos caminando de la mezquita azul, buena zona. Personal amable y atento.
Wir haben das Zimmer Deluxe gebucht. Vor Ort haben wir ein Economy Doppelzimmer bekommen. Es hieß dann, dass die kein anderes Zimmer mehr zur Verfugung haben. Das Hotel stimmt mit den Fotos null überein.
Don’t believe the pictures. The rooms costed more than agreed upon and turned out to not even be fully furnished. There were no closet or hangers. No trash bin. The hot water didn’t work properly and the water from the shower came out and flooded the toilet after every shower. The building didn’t have WiFi and we were told “tomorrow” for more than half of our weeks stay. A very big disappointment.
