Guest Reviews

Aleksandra 10.0

The hotel is running by a super-nice family speaking minimum three languages who unexpectedly provided us a room more spacious than we booked. The hotel is located a little to the side of the main attractions but it wasn't a problem since we are used to walking (it takes ~30 minutes to walk either to the St. Sophia Cathedtral or to the Galata Tower). For those, who are not used to walk on foot, there's a tram stop nearby. The room is clean and equipped with all the necessary things. The breakfast will start to be prepared as soon your coming to it, so, if you need to leave soon, add ~7-10 minutes waiting for the breakfast being cooked and served for you. Also, allergic people should mind the cats and dogs the hotel owners care for; we knew about the pets' presence so it was nice to meet them. Those who don't like to get up early, better take into account that there's a mosque in the close neighbourhood so the muezzin starts calling to prayer before the dawn. The transfer the hotel can organize is also great (a car trip to the IST airport takes 1h10m Friday afternoon due to the traffic).

Remigiusz 10.0

Fantastic place. It’s not really a hotel, more like a family owned guesthouse. Location is great. No tourists, just local businesses, good food, cheap markets. I loves doga and cats in reception/dining area. Pets aren’t there during breakfast, which is smart. Room was good, everyrhing was there. I had some difficulties during my stay and staff helped a lot. That was one of my best booking experiences ever.

Milan 9.0

Friendliest staff, great location (loved the area, very lively yet unpretentious, well connected with public transport) and well furnished, clean rooms. The lobby is a cat shelter but very clean (don't know how they do it).

Margarita 10.0

I liked everything very much. The owners will help with all questions. Very responsive people. Everything is nearby, a public transport stop is 3-5 minutes away, so there will be no problems at all. Thank you very much for the warmth and comfort!

Great location, lovely neighborhood, amazing staff. Best place I stayed in Istanbul. Great little restaurants all around, in a very regular person part of Istanbul. Also, they have two dogs and mini cats, and they are all very friendly, which is great. Very clean.

Nada 10.0

If I start with breakfast was a typical turkish one with a lot of fresh and fermented vegetables, eggs each day prepared differently , fresh nice bread from local bakery, with clasic butter cheese, salami, marmelade add on. Everything served in front of you with tea and coffe. Full and more than enough meal to start every new day. What I need to underlay is of course the managment of hotel who introduce us how to move, where to move in Istanbul, where to eat for modest prices but good as in fency restaraunts. We were for the first time in Istanbul but we navigate there like we have been there for years, because of instraction from hotel managment. I can assure everybody who would like to see the city out of the tourist clasic box than go to this hotel. If you like cold proffesional distance and luxury hotels do not come here, if the opposite you like causy and warm atmosfere, a solid standard/ you have everything you need to be more thn confortable/,go to this hotel. It is situated in a old part of the city , so you can experience living with people in istanbul, but you can reach all main tourist attraction by foot or using just tram. Whenever after your daily trip through Istanbul streets you come back to hotel, you have the feeling you come to visit a home of a good friends, finshinig the day with nice conversation, drinking coffe or tea, which are always for free.

Breakfast was good. Very accommodating

Dinis 10.0

The excellence, modesty and humility, not only in the facilities but also among the staff, turn the hotel to a distinguished reference in the city of Istanbul. The entire operation and the hospitality of the establishment are commendable, dignifing, and exceptionally pleasant.

Greg 10.0

Friendly/kindly operators Great location close to affordable restaurants in a traditional Turkish neighbourhood. Lovely, filling breakfast

Rohinton 10.0

The location is ideal for anyone who do not want to use taxis as the T5 tram station Fener is a 10 minute walk away. This family owned hotel will not only meet but exceed your expectations. When you enter the hotel, you will be greeted by a short, slim girl called Elha and her husband, Vural and some cats and dogs. Both the husband and wife are very heplful for booking the transport to and from the Airport at very reasonable rates. We were also given the Istanbul Kart for us to use.The breakfast was lovely, too. My wife had a fall before coming here and Ela helped by giving ice for her to apply.The rooms, too are spacious. We felt like we were staying at a friends house and not in some hotel. We would love to stay here again.

Stanislav 9.0

Marija 10.0
