“Good surprise”

Amber tries to give you satisfaction, good vibes. Staff is nice and helpful. Far from too turistic areas, a different experience in the center of Istanbul. Don't expect luxury, though. This is Best Western hotel, but a more familiar one. Good value an reasonable breakfast.

“Clean, comfortable & close to main tourist attractions”

Stayed in the hotel for 5 nights. The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful especially Mr Yaqup, who is the manager of the hotel and is always there, behind the counter. Booked the hotel through Expedia for a week trip to Istanbul with my mom. Our trip was enjoyable due to the good sevice provided by the hotel; was clean, situated in the old city close to the main attractions and helpful staff. The hotel s situated on a narrow lane which tends to be busy and noisy until after midnight. As we were on the first floor, we kept on listening to the hustle bustle in the street below which did not particularly bother us, but can be fretful for light sleepers.The neighbourhood itself gives you a flavour of the lifestyle of old city. The hotel is just two stops away on the tram from Sultanahmet; we only took it once as we preferred to walk, even though it was a bit steep. We even used to make the journey twice almost every day. We did not eat at the hotel other than the breakfast which was wholesome, though became monotonous for us towards the end of our stay. The staff never complained or showed impatience even though we were late for breakfast twice. We thank the staff at the hotel and would not mind going back there to stay if ever we go to Istanbul again.

“Good deal in Istanbul”

The best part is the service you get when you are hosted in this hotel, it is almost as if your family is serving you, and helping you in any way you need. Very close to the hotel is a small boulevard with the best seafood in town, and the music and the celebration is all over the place. The only thing I regreted was the fact that you can hear everything that is going on on the corridors and the stairway of the hotel, so if you get loud people walking and closing their doors very loudly, you will hear it all. The hotel is at walking distance from the Grand Bazaar and the Beyazit Tramway station, but it is like going up in a mountain, it is not a big deal... Istanbul is pure magic, and this hotel let you taste that magic in a very good way.

“we moved out after the first night”

This hotel is placed not far from the main attractions, but in the district that you don't want to visit after it gets dark... We were especially amused by the view from the window -- 24 hrs sewing factory. Rooms are not clean. The only good thing about the place is breakfast :) Even though the hotel was booked for several nights, we moved out after the first one.
