A small and cozy hotel in a super location. Close to attractions and tram stops. There is a market nearby where you can buy water in the room for a teapot. (17 lira liter), but there is welcome water in the room, as well as in all of Turkey - fashionable cups. There is a small buffet for breakfast, but you can find something to eat :) You won't stay hungry. (photos from the breakfasts were attached.) They didn't find any bathrobes in the room, but they didn't ask about them. The rooms are really small, but they are quite free for rest/sleep. Nice guys at the reception, and they know Russian. Thanks! And if possible, we will come back again!)

A small pleasant hotel next to Sultanahmet Square, where the iconic sights of Istanbul are located. Room (standard) It's just small enough to take a shower and spend the night just right for two. I was particularly pleased with the bathroom: the plumbing is in good condition, the water pressure is excellent, the hot water is really hot, taking a shower is a pleasure. Towels were changed every day, trash was also taken out, and water, tea, coffee, and shampoos were replenished. Breakfast does not consist of 1000 dishes, but everything is edible.

My friends and I stayed at the NO 12 Hotels in Sultanahmet district in Istanbul and were very satisfied. The hotel is perfectly located — all the main attractions are nearby, which is very convenient for walks and excursions. The breakfasts are small, but there is always plenty to choose from, you definitely won't stay hungry. The rooms are clean, cleaning is carried out daily, towels are changed every day, bed linen is changed about once every three days. It is pleasant and creates a comfortable living atmosphere. I would like to mention the staff separately: Russian-speaking staff work at the reception, very polite and helpful guys. We especially thank Inga — she is always ready to help, she will tell you which excursions to choose, what to see and how to get there more conveniently. It was also nice that good Russian music was playing at breakfast — it adds comfort. In general, the staff is very friendly, smiling and always ready to help. We recommend this hotel with confidence!

A good hotel, located in the center of Sultanahmet, 5 minutes to the T1 tram, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are also here, and 5 minutes in the opposite direction to the Marmari metro station and the Egyptian Bazaar, 15 minutes further to the Grand Bazaar. The rooms are well cleaned and your wishes are taken into account. Special thanks to the maid Inga, a very positive person, ready to help at any moment and for any occasion. Inga and another young man at the reception are Russian speakers. The breakfast is hearty, there is everything: eggs, scrambled eggs, vegetables, fruits, cheese and sausage cuts, sausages, herbs, olives, pastries for tea and coffee. In general, the guys are all well done, they work with their hearts. You'll want to come back to them)

A great hotel for exploring the historical center! We stayed for 4 nights. The main advantage is the fantastic location. All major attractions (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque) are within walking distance. The view from the rooftop terrace is simply breathtaking — be sure to have breakfast there! The staff was friendly, helped with the map and advice. The room was clean and small, but it was enough for us. The Wi-Fi was working well. A small disadvantage is that there is no elevator, but this did not become a problem for us. I recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of old Istanbul!

We stayed at this hotel as a family in February, booked 2 rooms on the 4th floor. I really liked the hotel, warm, clean, cleaning every day. The staff is super friendly, the breakfasts are just incredible, there is a large selection, everything is very, very tasty. Inga always worries about everything being good, so that everyone has enough, warmed her daughter's milk for cocoa in advance, thank you to her, she's just great! The location is right next to the square and the Sultanahmet tram stop! Book a hotel, don't even hesitate! The price/quality is just 1000/10!!!! We will definitely come back here!

A small chamber hotel. The rooms are not big. If you are planning with a child, do not take a standard room - 16 m2 ... take a bigger one. There are only 2 double beds in single rooms. Clean and tidy. The breakfasts are normal. They asked for a second blanket, and they gave it without delay. Very good location. The T1 tram stop is 3 minutes away. The square with the main attractions is 5 minutes away. The metro is 2 tram stops away. The only thing is that in winter, breakfast is served on the 1st floor - the room is very small ... You have to wait. The staff is attentive, so everything is great!

A lovely little hotel in the heart of the old town. All attractions are within walking distance. If desired, you can get from the airport on your own (by metro with one transfer + tram). A clean, cozy room with everything you need. The breakfasts are delicious and hearty. They clean up every day and give us water with them. Russian-speaking staff. They will always help and answer all your questions. If necessary, they will orient themselves on the terrain. We will be happy to come here again and recommend it to our friends.

We chose a hotel based on reviews and were not mistaken. Friendly staff, they speak Russian, they will help with any question, I would especially like to mention Inga - she gives positive feedback in the morning! Delicious breakfasts- everything is fresh, the choice is good. Daily room cleaning, towel change, replenishment of shower sets: gel, shampoo; tea/coffee. The room on the ground floor is 3-bed (three separate beds). Everything was fine with us, we just came to sleep, the rest of the time we walked. The location is really great, all the attractions are within walking distance, as well as shops and cafes.

We stayed at the hotel at the end of March 2026. I liked the hotel. Especially the staff. Almost everyone speaks Russian. They are very friendly and immediately resolve any issues that arise. The rooms and the hotel are clean and warm (air conditioning is on). The breakfasts were hearty, delicious, and fresh, and we were satisfied. The rooms are not large, but there is everything you need and there is enough space for a comfortable stay. The sights are within walking distance. If we're going to Istanbul again, we'll stop here.

A hotel for Russians. 90% are Russians. The staff speaks Russian well, and you can clarify this or that information. Breakfast is acceptable, a small buffet-eggs, omelette, cheese, croutons and pancakes sometimes, pastries, tea, coffee. You won't stay hungry. Convenient location, within walking distance of the main attractions and transport. The overnight room is normal, a little tired, but everything you need is there. Cleaning every day, soap accessories are added.

A small hotel in the historical center of Kabul. Within walking distance of historical sites, tram stop. If you turn diagonally to the right after leaving the hotel (literally 30-35 meters), there is a good supermarket in the basement. The room is clean, the foundation is normal. The breakfasts are simple and identical, without frills. But you won't stay hungry. The staff speaks Russian, they are friendly and welcoming. Everyday issues are resolved quickly. Of the cons. On New Year's holidays, the hot water was slightly warm in the mornings "during the rush hour of guests waking up" for half an hour (from 9 to 9-30 approximately). Otherwise, no questions asked) The local cats were pleased))

Excellent budget hotel in the historical center of Istanbul. The rooms are small but comfortable, there is everything you need (towels, slippers, soap, shower gel and shampoo, cotton swabs). The air conditioning system works well, it warms and cools the room well. There are many mirrors in the room, which is very convenient. The only thing missing was the extra hooks for outerwear on the wall by the front door, as the closet with hangers is small enough, especially for two people. The staff is very polite, especially the receptionist Inga, is very attentive to the guests.

It's a great hotel, though not a big one. The staff is great, they helped me find the right medicine, and the pharmacies rang, for which I would like to thank you. 90% of the staff speak Russian. A cozy cafe on the ground floor where breakfast is organized. The rooms are clean. It was 3 days and not a single question to them did not arise. The location of the hotel is just great, close to a cafe, a shop and the main attractions in a 3-10 minute walk. I didn't regret choosing her at all. Although other hotels and a different area were recommended.

A great small but cozy hotel 5 minutes from Sofia and the Blue Mosque. Very friendly staff (special greetings to Inge for a short tour of the terrace). Unfortunately, the hotel's terrace with views of the Bosphorus, Sofia and other attractions is currently closed. The breakfasts are good, the cleaning is done every day. The rooms are small, but this is compensated by the location.

Nice quiet hotel in the center of the old town. Nice rooms, clean linen. A good breakfast, but it's better to arrive early to get the maximum and hotter. Minus: there is a lot of traffic on the street during the day, it can be noisy. Positive: 1. The staff is very friendly, some speak Russian.2. Most historical monuments are within walking distance of 300-500 m. 3. Transport is also nearby.

Five stars, not because it is a "chic, impeccable hotel", but because, taking into account the quite affordable cost of living in comparison with the neighbors, the quality of the room and the hotel as a whole is much higher than expected. I would like to mention very comfortable beds in a triple room, good and quite varied breakfasts and an exceptionally convenient location within walking distance from many tourist destinations. And many thanks to Inge for the welcome and kindness!

Excellent location, less than five minutes on foot from Sofia, there are two tram stations in the same accessibility, there is a good supermarket around the corner. The only thing that can be added to the rooms is hooks for outerwear or more hangers.

Wonderful hotel! We spent 4 nights there and are ready to come back again. I was pleasantly surprised by the staff – they are very helpful and helpful guys, always friendly, they know Russian. When we checked in, we had a room upgrade, we lived on the 5th floor. The rooms are really small, but this did not bother us, the quadrature was known at the time of booking. Modern renovation, refrigerator, kettle, tea and coffee sets, shower gels, shampoos, sets with cotton swabs and discs in the bathroom. Every day, all stocks were replenished and cleaned very efficiently. The breakfasts are delicious, and the coffee from the coffee machine is pleasant, which is rare in Turkey. But those who need variety at breakfast probably won't like it, the food hasn't changed much in 4 days. And of course, the location is just incredibly convenient – many tourist spots are easily accessible on foot. Of the cons: so-so sound insulation, in the evenings we heard what was happening in the neighboring rooms, around 6 a.m. I woke up to the sounds of the mosque, but at the end of the trip I got used to it)

We stayed at this hotel from August 25 to September 1.We would like to leave a review.This hotel has both pros and cons. Minuses 1. Terrible sound insulation, prepare to hear everything that happens at the reception and in the next room, but in the morning, when the staff was preparing for breakfast, it was impossible to sleep.Plus, the windows are bad for noise, too, everything is audible, since the street is busy 24/7. 2. Breakfast.For 7 days, the breakfast was the same, there was a very small selection, low-quality products, everything was just tasteless 3. Very small room, we had a deluxe room on the second floor.It's cramped even for two, the room to go in and out, although it seemed bigger in the photo 4. There are no basic things in the room, such as:shoe spoon ,cotton pads,disposable toothbrushes,bathrobes Just shampoo and shower gel. 5. Also, one of the points why we chose this hotel is that there is a terrace with a view of the Hagia Sophia Mosque, but only upon arrival it turned out that this terrace does not work, it is a pity that they do not write about this anywhere in advance. Let's move on to the pros 1. Location.Very convenient location of the hotel, everything is within walking distance, as well as near the tram station 2. Room cleaning is top-notch, everything is always clean, the bedding is pleasant to the body.Special thanks to the maid Inga.She is incredibly kind, does her job 100 points, knows the Russian language perfectly, when we were feeling unwell, she gave us medicines.Thanks again 3. Staff.Great guys at the reception, they will always help, they also know Russian. 4.There is a transfer from/to the airport, good minibuses,we drove a Mercedes Maybach,the cost is 50€
