Very bed.

I stayed at this hotel for 4 days. When choosing, I looked at the reviews and the location. They greeted me wonderfully, very cordially! Nice people work in the department, nice men at the reception and friendly cleaning girls. The room is very simple, in this case it is important for me that the shower works well, there was a clean bed and it was warm. It was all there) If you really find fault, I would vacuum the room) Breakfast is simple, hearty, and the coffee is delicious (! instant). The hotel offered a great tour of the Bosphorus. The price is less than what is offered on the embankment. And everything is clear about the organization. We had coffee before departure in the morning) I'm happy, it's a good place. The location is also good, in the old town, walking distance to all significant places. Thank you, I will return to this hotel if possible.

The location is excellent, one stop from Sultanahmet Square. Very clean near the hotel. The rooms are good, the mattresses are new, very comfortable, the rooms were cleaned almost every day. Breakfasts are also normal. Special thanks to the staff, everyone is very kind, they explained everything in detail, suggested where, what and how! There is a terrace and the view from it is very beautiful. Thanks a lot, I really liked it :)

We stayed at this hotel from 03/17/2025 to 03/21/2025. The hotel is small, but very cozy. The reception is very welcoming. Young guys are working, they will tell you everything, show you everything, and help. You can immediately order food with delivery, various excursions. The hotel is located near the main Sultan Ahmet Square, within walking distance of the main attractions, a 15-minute walk. The breakfast is modest, but you won't stay hungry. The view of the Bosphorus is impressive on the terrace. It was my birthday, and I received a pleasant surprise from the hotel. Which is good news. There are disadvantages, but they are very petty and they are different for every traveler. I recommend the hotel.

Convenient location, wonderful managers who know Russian. The atmosphere is calm. The hotel itself is located in a quiet area and with minimal traffic of cars and people. It's a great option for low-budget travel. The economy room has everything you need if you are not going to live in it, but it's better to take your slippers, as well as a toothbrush and toothpaste! The hotel has excellent WiFi and outdoor access, as well as a large first-aid kit!

The hotel is wonderful, budget-friendly, clean, geographically located very conveniently, I met the dawn every morning on the sea embankment, as they say, you will go to the left embankment, 10 minutes walk, you will go to the right, the same time interval, all the iconic sights. But the first days for me there was a quest, find your hotel, very dense medieval buildings, it's hard without a navigator,

A great, cozy, small hotel in 5-7 minutes walk from all the central attractions. The guys at the reception are very pleasant, friendly, they will always help and advise where to go, what to buy and where. And what a panorama opens on the roof, you'll swing. I recommend the hotel, but it's not new, but you come to Istanbul not to sleep, but to walk and enjoy the views, cuisine and of course architecture.

I would say that the hotel is below average. One of the advantages is the location in the center, a beautiful terrace upstairs and a working air conditioner in the room. Among the disadvantages are the old rooms, our safe did not work, the toilet and shower leaked when you wash in it, there is no hood in the shower, so there is mold on the ceiling. But, they were ready to change the room the next day after arrival, we just didn't bother because it wasn't the fact that it would get better, but we wanted to spend more time walking than moving and problems.
The breakfast is so-so, you can eat something, but somehow it was always untidy: the forks were dirty, something was spilled, there were no napkins, then cups.
For some reason we were also given a room with 4 beds, although there are only two of us))
We only slept in the hotel, so it was normal for us, but I wouldn't recommend it. And Istanbul is beautiful))

I chose the hotel to be close to the center and attractions, the location is super. I liked the staff, you come to them as to relatives, they will tell you everything, even show you, they will call a taxi, they will almost take you by the hand, very friendly and just good people! On the roof, such a view opens, just insta photos, the beauty is unreal. The rooms are also nice and clean. In general, the hotel is great, thanks for my wonderful stay

We were in Istanbul in early November 2024, and stayed at this hotel for a week. We stayed very long ago! Despite the not-quite-new interior, everything is clean in the hotel, the room was cleaned every day. The staff is very friendly, the guys at the reception will always help, I will tell you everything, they will advise you where to go. The tours were bought from them, and they were much cheaper than the guides. Their currency was also changed at a very favorable rate. Special thanks to the girls from the cafeteria! They're very cute. They gave us delicious food for breakfast. On the day of our departure, I hugged everyone. The location is just perfect! All the most interesting and meaningful things are within walking distance! I definitely recommend it!

Very convenient location. Almost all the main attractions are within walking distance. The rooms have not been renovated for a long time. Minimalism is everywhere. I was bothered by the lack of a kettle in the room and the lack of space for toilet paper (apparently broken). The room was expensive, with a sea view. When ordering, please note that there may be a room without a window on the ground floor. There are a lot of disappointments and scandals because of this.

We rested with my husband for 8 days, from November 28 to December 5, 2024
If one of the advantages is, of course, the location, all the sights, as well as transport within walking distance.
The rooms are very compact, if it's okay to spend the night, book a room carefully, economy is a room without a window)
There is no kettle in the room, which is very sad)
The breakfasts are very meager, you don't get enough)

A normal hotel! Those who write that everything is bad, apparently, come to Istanbul to sit in a hotel)) I got a standard room on the 3rd floor, the view from the window is something incredible!!! The Sea of Marmara, the sky, ships and seagulls! Well, how can you not fall in love with this!)) Yes, the rooms are not new, but everything is clean, everything works, does not leak, does not fall off. The water is hot, the shower is large, towels for each resident - I was alone in a room with two double beds, I had 8 towels, 8 jars of shampoo and shower gel, 4 soaps, 4 pairs of slippers)))) And every day they still reported it, if they used it! The floor was clean, there was no dust on the surfaces. Everything was washed away everywhere and the water flowed away without any problems. The breakfasts are without frills, but if it is important for you to have a quick snack with a view of the sea and go for a walk around the city - that's it! The staff speaks many languages and is always ready to help. In the lobby there are umbrellas for guests, a cooler with hot/cold water. Walking distance to the old town, the palace, Hagia Sophia and everything else. There is a tram stop nearby. In general, if I happen to go to Istanbul again, then I will most likely stop right there.

Now I'm sitting at the hotel reception and writing a review, I don't even know where to start!The only advantage of this hotel is that it is located in the very center of the city, the historical center!That's it!There is nothing good anymore!As the administrators told me; This hotel is just for sleeping!That is, if it rains or you just want to lie down, sit, it wasn't there.There is no tea, coffee, or just water here.Although it is written in the description that the rooms have a kettle and all the accessories.They put me in a room with 4 beds, and a sofa., and it would be fine, but the room was dirty, the bed was torn, there was dirt in the toilet, a forgotten window and a sewer stink.When we started talking, we were told that they did not understand what we were saying.Learn the language, since you have arrived.At the eom the next day, when I changed their money, all the administrators speak excellent Russian.I will add a photo, not to be unfounded.Who writes positive reviews.People, where are your eyes!I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.Never!I thought I might be demanding a lot!No, we're sitting here talking to our comrades in misfortune, and everyone says that it's creepy!Today we leave at 23.50, we were evicted at 12.00.Go wherever you want!We agree to pay extra to stay in our room.We were billed $ 50, is it that you need to pay extra for 5 hours, like for the whole day?!No, I'm sorry!We always pay extra and everywhere we were charged what is called an hourly wage.We have never seen such a boorish attitude from the side of the hotel, from the representative of the tour company Mohamed.They cook everywhere is not tasty, tomatoes, plasmas, are chopped into 4 parts and thrown on a plate.Bread is chopped everywhere.Salads are a mixture of something with something, I would say; the silage was chopped and thank you for putting it on a plate!It's terrible, it's terrible!It feels like I'm on vacation in Sochi.The overindulged

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome. Of course, you have to go up and down, but what can you do is Istanbul). The hotel staff managed to create a cozy corner in the middle of a bustling metropolis. The guys are really trying. All our requests were fulfilled, and sometimes they even managed to anticipate our wishes.
Breakfast was not luxurious, but we did not leave hungry. And of course, I was pleased with the delicious Turkish tea.
After staying at this hotel, we still have a feeling of gratitude. Many thanks to all the employees of Art City for the unforgettable time spent in Istanbul!

He stayed at this hotel from November 26 to December 5, 2024.
First of all: THE MONEY WAS MISSING FROM THE SAFE. The money was kept in the room's safe. On the third day of his stay in Istanbul, he locked the safe with a combination lock in the morning, returned to the room in the evening and found that the safe door was open and $ 200 was missing. I immediately turned to the employee at the reception, he immediately said that most likely I put the money somewhere and forgot about it. Allegedly, they had already had similar situations and the money was held by the residents themselves. He promised to look at the cameras. A day later, I met this employee again, and he said that the cameras did not detect outsiders who entered my room. I asked if it could be the staff, he only said that he would not be able to open the safe if I put a code on it. But I know perfectly well that such safes are opened with a service key or a special code, in case you forgot your password. I would like to note that this employee spoke and understood Russian and English quite well on the first day, on the day when the money disappeared, he was able to communicate only with the help of a translator on his smartphone, and after that he basically stopped understanding me and spoke only Turkish. The money was never found.
Secondly: The hotel does not even have 3 stars. Very old renovation, everything is stripped, dirty, furniture and appliances are old. The rooms are practically not cleaned, either before check-in or during your stay. They leave the floor dirty, the sink in the hair and plaque, the toilet is not washed at all. The bed is not made. I somehow followed up - the cleaning lasted 3 minutes, came in, replaced the towels, took away the garbage (and not all of it), left soap accessories. Photos are attached.
Thirdly: Breakfast consists of unwashed boiled eggs, 2 types of inedible sausage and cheeses, cucumbers and tomatoes (plastic), sausages in tomato sauce, pasta with some vegetables, margarine and jam, instant coffee and sugar in very dirty jars, tea is impossible to drink. The dishes are all chipped off, the tables and chairs are dirty. This is the most disgusting breakfast I've ever seen.

I made a reservation and the reservation was confirmed, the day was paid, but when we arrived it turned out that the room was occupied. The cost is high for this terrible place. We had a hard time finding a hotel in an abandoned place. You would have to walk in dark alleys and on hills if you stopped there. The man at the reception did not regretfully refund the payment. The rooms are really windowless and in very old condition.
They offered to write a positive review and come two days later to a room with a sea view, but this is a brazen deception, there are no sea views there.
One deception and disappointment with this hotel. Don't waste your time and nerves. The taxi never arrived there, we couldn't find it in the alley, we walked. Terrible memories.

If there were no problems with the shower, I would have put 4. A good option for budget accommodation in the center of Istanbul, but the water does not go away in the shower, you have to hold the shower head in your hands, because the holder is all loose and does not hold. The breakfasts are normal, although there is a small selection. Vegetables, cereals, boiled eggs, omelette, French fries. You won't stay hungry.

We had a rest with my husband there from December 5th to 8th. The hotel, though, can't be called that - it's terrible. To begin with, we didn't have hot water on the first day, the next few days it was barely warm. They heated the water with a kettle (which, by the way, was also not there at first). It's horrible. There's black mold in the shower, this stuff is very dangerous. The shower is leaking, everything is wet. Everything was so devastated that it was scary to touch. There are damp stains on the walls. The mattress is dead, the linen is dead, gray. The towels stank of something (changed every day). That's horrible. There was a balcony, but it was just as dead. As for breakfast, people, this is bestiality. The dining room is all dirty. For breakfast, eggs (they were disassembled immediately), some kind of sausage, imagine if you bought the cheapest sausage and forgot about it in the refrigerator, it starts to wind and turns red. That's what they serve there. There were sliced sausages in something red, incomprehensible cheese and some other rubbish (the taste of a used sponge). Coffee is diluted. Of course, everyone came and took the eggs and that was it. Such a bestial attitude is a horror. Those who write about the view from the 6th floor (terrace), I would like to ask you, in general, in what conditions do you live at home. Because it's a nightmare there too. Everything is so beautiful in the photo, but in reality there is shit, garbage, broken tables, a broken swing. It's just beastly. The receptionist didn't seem pleasant. Basically, he pretended that he did not understand anything, only speak English. The Russian hotel is just that. One kind person from the staff helped to get a kettle. Everything is squalid, dirty and disgusting. Who gives 5 stars, you are sorry. It's scary to imagine what you got used to then and how you live. I definitely do not recommend it. If you want a normal vacation, find another place.

A good hotel, we visited in December 2024, the rooms are being renovated, this is a plus. Tomorrow is not the best, this is a minus, everything is only the most necessary, sausage cheese tomato. The location is good, 10min to the tram, 5min to the supermarket. The view of the Bosphorus from the room is great, and the views on the roof are also great.

Don't believe the pictures. We were moved from room to room three times. I advise you not to look under the beds in search of slippers: plastic cups, used slippers, rolled-up dust, etc. in all rooms. Do not lift your head above your nose- there are cobwebs everywhere, when sitting on the toilet, lift your feet off the floor-ants can climb on your feet, etc. The truth is, the bed is clean. The breakfasts are monotonous. I'm disappointed. There are no bedbugs, there are cockroaches and ants.

We arrived in Istanbul for the first time and stayed at this hotel. The location is really cool, within walking distance of the Basilica cistern, ancient mosques. Very convenient transport interchange, there is a tram stop and a metro station. The hotel itself leaves much to be desired ((( The room stock is old. We were lucky to get a room with a sea view. There was no cleaning in our room at all, and we lived there for almost 7 nights. The towel was changed only at our request. The staff was responsive, but only the manager and the cook understood Russian. The food is very monotonous: eggs, cheese, soy sausage of dubious appearance, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers. The area is quiet, there are inexpensive grocery stores.
Conclusion: a very big minus is that there is no cleaning in the rooms. I would even say that this is not a 3-star hotel. Since we did not come to sit in the room, but to walk around the city for the night will go. But there is no foot there anymore!

The hotel is really within walking distance of many attractions. The staff is polite, almost everyone speaks Russian. Many excursions can be purchased directly from the hotel, and dollars are also exchanged for lira at a favorable rate. But if you take an economy room, be prepared for the fact that they can move into a room without windows on the 0 floor. Well, in general, I liked everything.

Very nice hotel. The staff is kind, talkative, and funny. I've been here twice already, everything is very good. I was here about 2 years ago and recently I was here. One brother from Azerbaijan, he is a joker, speaks Russian. One Turk brother, in my opinion, read the prayer all the time he went out. Another brother was on duty alone at night, I forgot from where somewhere from Africa, we also communicated in English and Turkish. When they left, they forgot their wife's bag, called and said they forgot, they immediately threw off the photos, said that yes, they stayed and you can pick up any time, and then one friend took the bag. I rate it 5 points out of 5. I recommend
