The property was okay but when we got inside one of the room lights wouldn’t work and the worst part was sleeping there because we had to keep the AC on all night because it was soo hottt there was a bad rattling noise coming through the AC we told the reception but they were unable to do anything we stayed there 5 nights and out of all them.5 nights we probably slept for like 2 hours each day because we couldn’t sleep

This place is not clean and in fact very dirty. There is mold in the bathroom all over the floor and wall tiles. The fridge in the room is old, rusty and also very dirty. Electricity outlets and hanging from the wall and are not safe to be used. The terrace is dirty as well and not usable. In the pictures it's shown nicely set up but it's not. Breakfast is tiny and not fit for a grown adult. This place should not be listed for bookings. Pictures that are listed online are not what you see when you go to the property.

Good Hotel but worst breakfast in Turkey.
Reasonable hotel with aircon and tv working fine. Main issue was with the poor breakfast as there was no buffet and you were given a tiny fixed plate. When asking for more you were just given 1 small slice of cheese.. Breakfast let it down big time.

Istanbul's Fors Hotel is a great budget traveler's choice. The location is great--right in the heart of Old Town, and close to the light rail transit system. The price is right: very inexpensive compared to other Istanbul choices. The rooms are small, but clean and practical. The staff is most helpful and friendly.

Amazingly located
This hotel provides a very warm and home like atmosphere which makes the visitor instantly comfortable and relaxed. The staff are exceedingly helpful and speak reasonably good English and are well conversant. The hotel is clean and the breakfast menu is simple yet highly satisfactory and nourishing. Its location is superb especially for those who intend to visit a traditional Turkish bath as there is an excellent one right up your street. It is close to the old district of Sultanahmet and most of the historical sites like the Bazzar and Cemberlitas Column. Comes highly recommended.

cheap and in the old part
The hill up is quite steep upwards (indeed with luggage very steep),no pavement all the way and easy to get lost. The TV seems not to have any relevance as we couldn't find a channel in english. The rooms are very small. We pulled bed out from wall and only just had room to move to toilet. 2 bigger people would have major problems. There is no space to put suitcases. One night a man was watching TV and looked at us and ignored us(when we entered) so I assumed he was a guest and not the receptionist to give us our key. We waited a few minutes for someone to come.In the end I found the bell and pinged it. TV watcher then stood up and asked if we needed help. Most bizarre. Breakfast was adequate but tea and coffee bad.. coffee turned out to be a gold blend machine and the tea was Turkish Black.

Great base!
we arrived mid evening really tired the under manager was lovely so helpful .The breakfast is a good basic buffet great hours up to 10.30.Flors is in the old city easy to walk to the main square(10 mins) and about the same to the sea. The nearest beach is a 30 min bus ride away and you have to pay about £5 to enter so sea bathing was not easy and no pool however, the roof terrace has fab views great place for a morning coffee and the sea promenade nice to walk along. Lots of places to eat near by and a great ladies Turkish bath on the corner of the street a must!!! For the money I was extremely pleased and would go back.

Positives: Great hotel for the money. Breakfast will not wow you but it was again good for the price we paid. Decent location. On par with other European style hotels. Negatives: The Wifi kept going in and out so email would work but it was hard surfing the web. Also the hotels is right across from a Turkish bath. Not the well known Touristy ones, but I had a great experience.

Very Helpful Staff
I was really struck by the warmth of the hotel staff, they made sure that my stay was pleasant and that I was well looked after - and safe. Once, the gentleman at Reception ran after me with an umbrella just so that I didn't get wet as it was threatening to rain! The hotel is close to several of the main attractions like the grand Bazzar and the Blue Mosque. The Historia Shopping Mall is not too far away as well. The taxi driver from the airport had no difficulty getting there and the hotel was able to arrange a taxi to take me to the airport. I was also able to leave my luggage at Reception and come back for it later as my flight was at 5.00pm. Breakfast was basic: bread, cold meat, cheese, cucmber, tomato, olives, cereal, tea and lime juice. It would have been nicer if there had been some hot/cooked food.

Hotel staff was the only positive about our experience. Two of the three desk attendants were very friendly. We were traveling as 3 adults and they tried to cram us into a room by adding a bed to a double room where there would be absolutely no floor space for walking. The location is awful..seedy neighborhood no location atmosphere at all. The breakfast was marginal and in the basement. There were no elevators so be prepared for steep narrow steps to climb.

first of all, I had more option to take for hotel, but I chose forse hotel, because they had shuttle service from airport.so,I took that one because I didn't know any turkish language, I arrived to Istanbul, I didn't see any one to take me to the hotel, after one hour waiting, I found some one, who spoke English and Turkish. He called hotel, they said, they don't have that service. I had to pay $50.00 to some body who take me to hotel, I don;t know It was false advertising for hotel[...] ?any ways after that, in all 2 nights and one day I was over there, no body ever said welcome. They had very poor customer service, and there mean, I don't recommend forse hotel to any one. However, it had a comfortable bed.

The hotel was a little tough to find, just off a street with several hotels and small restraurants. It was a good value for one night stay. Breakfast was clean with standard selections of small european hotels. Bread, cold cuts, tomatoes, cereal, fruits, jellies, sausage, hard boiled eggs etc. Room and bath were clean, bed comfortable. Staff was polite and helpful.

This hotel was a great find in old town Istanbul. It was only a short walk from a light rail stop and about a 10 minute walk to the Blue Mosque. The rooms were very new and clean and the staff was attentive and friendly. The room was small but for the price was so worth it. I would definitely stay here again.

Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage. Wie beschrieben kommt man zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten Hagia Sophia, Blaue Mosche und Grand Bazar schnell zu Fuß hin. Die Zimmer sahen auf den Fotos viel schöner aus. Sie sind schon ein wenig heruntergekommen und nicht sehr sauber. Ebenso sind die Zimmer im Erdgeschoss sehr laut. Man konnte die Gäst von den Zimmern nebenan und alles was in der Lobby passierte hören. Im großen und ganzen war die Unterkunft für das Geld in Ordnung.

Das Personal war Top!!!! Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter hat das Hotel. Zu erst waren wir in einem Zimmer was eine reinste Katastrophe war. Es war zu klein, dreckig und überall spinnen an den Wänden. Das Badezimmer war voll mit schummeln und war am stinken. Dusche und Toilette waren sehr dicht beieinander sodass man sich quer auf die Toilette setzten musste. Am nächsten tag habe ich mich beschwert und für einen aufpreis von 55€ ein größeres zimmer bekommen wo meine Frau und ich mehr platz hatten. Auch hier war das Badezimmer eine Katastrophe. Schimmel überall und auch hier hat es gestunken. Klimaanlage hat Gott sei dank funktioniert was leider Gottes im ersten Zimmer nicht funktioniert hat. Wie oben erwähnt das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und super freundlich. Das hotel aber an sich ist eine Katastrophe. Die Handtücher, Bettwäsche Bettlaken wurden zwar jeden Tag erneuert aber da waren Flecken drauf.!!!!! Bitte überlegt euch das dreimal ob ihr das gotel buchen möchtet...!!!
