Good location, close to all major attractions, shops, etc. You can walk down to the Bosphorus, there is a park with a Playground nearby. The view from the hotel is mesmerizing. The staff is Russian-speaking and very helpful. There is a small courtyard. The breakfasts are decent, you will not stay hungry: omelette, boiled eggs, olives, olives, vegetables, watermelon, cheese, sausage, croutons, very tasty casserole, good coffee. Among the disadvantages - the hotel is tired, the towel hooks are broken in the bathroom, the refrigerator did not work.

We were in Istanbul for the first time and chose a hotel based on the location and reviews of compatriots. The hotel is old, but it has everything you need. The main thing for us was the presence of Russian-speaking staff and almost everyone speaks Russian)) The staff is pleasant, friendly, everyone tries to make your stay more comfortable. We noticed that many tourists are not vacationing here for the first time. There is a small courtyard/garden where you can sit with cute kittens big and small) Sultanahmet Square is a three-minute walk away. Transfer to the airport from the hotel is cheaper than we were offered anywhere else. The breakfasts are without frills, monotonous, but we are unpretentious) everything is delicious, the main thing is to refresh yourself before walking around the city, and there you will eat Turkish delicacies in different restaurants during the day)) Among the disadvantages, we note the interruptions of hot/ cold water and the lack of towel racks. Everything you need (shampoo, gel, soap, slippers, towels) is available. The hotel is located right next to the mosque, so the call to prayer is loud enough. But on the second morning they did not wake up under it, apparently the body understood and slept soundly after walking) but the view is very beautiful from the terrace. If you want to have breakfast there in the open air, we do not recommend leaving the plates unattended while you are pouring coffee, the seagulls are very nimble. We recommend the hotel

A great hotel with an ideal location! Everything is nearby: the Grand Bazaar, Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia and much more. Close to the tram stop, shops.
The hotel is old, but the veranda has a gorgeous view of the Bosphorus. The staff is the heart of the hotel, very friendly people who are always ready to help 💙 The breakfasts are good: the choice is small, but the food is good. Thank you very much, we'll be back!

We spent 5 days in this hotel with my husband, or rather just spent the night! ))
We chose it solely by location, it's just great. The historical part of Istanbul, all the main attractions are within walking distance. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, etc. There are a lot of small cafes and restaurants in the courtyard, and a magnificent view of the Bosphorus opens from the terrace. Yes, the hotel is quite "tired", the breakfasts are monotonous, but you will definitely never stay hungry, the staff is Russian-speaking, they will always tell you or at least try to help)))
The first lira was changed at the reception. There is an exit to the backyard, we didn't find out about it right away. in general, Istanbul is, of course, an incredible city that is definitely worth a visit!

Excellent location, 10-15 minutes walk to the tram stop, 5-8 minutes to the sights. Nearby cafes, restaurants, shops with groceries, souvenirs, a small liquor store, a minimarket with fruits and sour-milk products.
The Stone Hotel Istanbul has 17 rooms (ranging from 15 to 39 m2), decorated in a traditional style, equipped with all the necessary services and amenities. There is an elevator, which is important, because it is not very convenient to climb the spiral staircase.
All rooms have a TV, free Wi-Fi, slippers, mini fridge, air conditioning, kettle, bathroom, standard hotel hairdryer, underfloor heating in the bathroom. Cleaning every day.
Breakfast on the terrace from 8-30 to 10-30, the usual modest breakfast, tea/coffee, sliced sausage, cheese of 1-2 types, olives and olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons, omelet, jam.
The staff speaks Russian, there is a 24-hour front desk.
Iron and ironer on request.
You can also relax and contemplate the beauty of the old town with a cup of tea or coffee on the terrace.
There is no parking. If you plan to come with a small child (with a stroller), it will be very inconvenient, because there are steep descents / ascents along the streets. Pros: the air conditioner worked for heating in the bathroom floor heating on the floor of the wall battery (it was raining, things got wet from a walk - everything dried out instantly on the batteries). Cons: cosmetic repairs are required, there are holes from nails, the tile has fallen off, the handle to the toilet is hanging in all directions there is no handle on the window, only holes from them. they do not respond to the contacts listed on the hotel's website.

A wonderful 3-star hotel. Cozy and homely. We took a ticket with breakfast, we were satisfied, everything necessary for breakfast was delicious. Of course, there is something to complain about in the room, but we came to walk and explore the city, and not pay attention to any little things. There are Russian speakers at the reception, the Internet is working properly even sitting near the hotel. There was a water outage one day, but the issue was resolved, we slept so soundly on the beds that we barely got up for breakfast. Everything is within walking distance, transport was not used, near the Blue Mosque, 3 minutes walk. In general, I don't mind staying here again.

The breakfasts are decent and delicious. There is a coffee machine. The view from the highway is very beautiful to the sea, the mosque. There is an elevator, which was very pleasing. Everything was fine. I recommend.

The hotel is good for its money. We knew where we were going. The bed is comfortable, the location is 5 minutes to the center, 7 minutes to the T1 tram, from where you can get to other attractions and places. Our windows overlooked the mosque. It's loud enough, so the Azan, including at 5 a.m., of course. But I respect this religion, so for me the sounds of the azan are pleasant.
The cleaning was a little disappointing. When we checked in, there were about 5 pieces of long black hair everywhere in the room. But I guess it's the women themselves who clean and cook. Therefore, of course, not for very picky tourists
There are only Turkish channels on the TV, there is a kettle in the room, a so-so hairdryer. Shampoo and shower gel are put on every day. There are slippers in the room with a star
The view from the breakfast terrace is gorgeous! He is very happy every morning. The breakfasts are simple , but my husband and I had enough before lunch: sausages in tomato sauce, local cheeses and sausages, boiled eggs, omelette, butter and a lot of different jams, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and a couple of salads, white bread. Coffee from the coffee machine, Turkish delicious tea.
I will boldly recommend the hotel to my friends.
There are many cafes nearby, a small supermarket in the next building in the basement, also 3-5 minutes away from Şok and A101 - chain supermarkets without alcohol. It is very profitable to take chocolate, local products for yourself and for gifts there! Nearby there is a Tekel mesh store with alcohol, for whom it is important. But it's more expensive there than in supermarkets. But they also work at night, it turns out

We were driving and expected that there would be a small room and not just super quality, and it turned out that way... The room consisted of 2 double beds + 1 double bed, some kind of chair, wardrobe and everything, there was no more space there, the room was just really just to sleep, there was no special desire to be in it, the shower was dead, the toilet too.... But at the same time, everything was cleaned, clean, and the breakfast was quite normal... The location is gorgeous... 4 minutes to the Blue Mosque..

The location of the hotel is perfect, all the sights are nearby. The room is nice, clean, there were no problems with the water (sometimes the water did not immediately heat up). The breakfast was the same every day, generally delicious. I was glad that the reception staff is Russian-speaking. Malik's employee immediately registered us, told us everything, a very polite, smiling and pleasant girl. Employee Bakhtiar told how and where to get there, bought excursions from him, which they were completely delighted with (in other places it was much more expensive to compare). Also, on the day of our departure, it turned out that a marathon was being held and the president was coming, and therefore all roads were blocked, it was impossible to arrange either a transfer or a taxi, only the subway. Bakhtiar was able to arrange a taxi for us, helped with our luggage. In general, the big plus of this hotel is the staff, our every request was solved.

A good hotel to spend the night, swim and have a snack in the morning.
We did not have high expectations about the hotel, so the slightly departed wallpaper in the room did not bother us at all. The windows overlooked the courtyard.
Istanbul is not the place where you will spend all your time in a hotel.
They cleaned every day, took out the trash, changed the towel if they put it on the floor.
Breakfast from 8:00 to 10:00 omelette, vegetables, sausages, cheeses, bread, eggs, salad with cabbage and breakfast cereals with milk.
In general, eating in the morning and running on an excursion is the best thing.
Overall, as a place to spend the night, they are good)
Most of the staff speaks Russian. There is a mini-shop nearby, a couple of minutes up to the hippodrome square.
We personally heard that they called for prayer only from Sunday to Monday at 5 a.m. There was no work week on the other days. (from Saturday to Sunday we were not there)
PS. On the first night, at 3 a.m., our TV turned on 😁
We don't know if it was a prank from the previous tenants or if everyone had it. We unplugged it just in case. 😁

I don't understand tourists leaving positive reviews! The location is, of course, good. But every other building in this area of Istanbul is a hotel. So nothing unique. The rest just sucks. The rooms are cleaned disgustingly. Even the sink had to be washed with toilet soap itself. For 8 nights, the bed linen has not been changed once. The plumbing is bad - the hot water is barely flowing.
The breakfasts are inedible. Cold sausages and scrambled eggs every day, titanium tea as in the canteen. Sausage, butter and cheese of the lowest quality. I have something to compare it with - other hotels in Istanbul offer a significant variety.
There are not even tea bags in the room.
The young man at the reception is very helpful and ready to help. But that's where all the advantages end.

A solid four. Clean room, cleaning every day. Breakfast is normal (no more). A coffee machine (in my opinion, cooking one product at the press of any button), but a coffee machine! View from the terrace to the sea and the minaret. Photo shoot with albatrosses every day. Cheap tours at the reception. Great internet! Most of the main attractions are nearby.
Now the cons. Windows either to the courtyard or to the minaret.
Stable alarm clock at 6 am! Until you pray, it won't stop waking you up!!! 5 times a day.

Относительно чисто, тепло и уютно. Русско-говорящий персонал адекватен. Удачное расположение. Напротив действующая мечеть - призыв на намаз в окно - для колорита, нам нравится. О террасе: три столика с отличным видом. Утром можно на них завтракать. Днем и вечером свободный вход. С собой пиво и местный сыр или вино и устрицы с рыбного рынка - прекрасный вечер с неповторимым видом!

50 на 50. С одной стороны, слишком старые номера, сантехника оставляет желать лучшего, мебель тоже уставшая. В общем, находиться в номерах не хотелось, а когда заехали ночью, то чуть не расплакались от того, в каких условиях нам придется жить.
С другой, приличный завтрак с невероятным видом на террасе, вежливый персонал, который знает русский язык. В пешей доступности основные достопримечательности. Красивый внутренний дворик.
Вывод таков: если б была такая возможность, я бы выбрала другой отель. Но если у вас такой возможности нет, то делайте ставку на то, что вы будете весь день гулять по Стамбулу, а здесь только спать.

Из плюсов-местоположение,отзывчивый персонал(особенно на ресепшен) Очень доброжелательные и все разговаривают на русском, турецком и английском. Всё подскажут и покажут
Из минусов- наверно Всё остальное. Номера старенькие, местами с плесенью, батареи хоть и висят но не во всех номерах работают. В ванной батарея вообще висит на уровне 150 от Пола. Ударился и рассек голову. Холодно, благо кондер можно включить на тепло. Вода в кране или горячая или холодная. Полотенец дают по 2 на человека, но такие потрепаные и старые, ими в пору полы мыть. Постельное белье и кровати норм. Завтрак-так себе на 1-2 звезды. Но видно что женщины стараются, просто хозяин видно жлоб.
Приходилось на все это стараться не обращать внимание, чтобы не портить себе настроение. Наверно цена/качество соответствует

Отдыхали в этом отеле в феврале.
Ужасный отель и безучастный, нежелающий решить вашу проблему персонал. Хотя проблемы были общие , во всем отеле.
1. Нас заселили в номер без отопления, в номере ванна была с неполноценной стеной, она была не заложена до конца и с улицы дул ветер.
2. В номерах нет горячей воды.
3. После устранения этой проблемы , она снова появилась , помыться не представлялось возможным.
4. Единственный плюс этого отеля - терраса.
Но все это не стоит своих денег.
Очень старые номера, грязные, грязные полотенца, плесень на стенах.

Жили в этом отеле 4 дня в конце февраля 2020 года. Все очень понравилось. Номер был на третьем этаже. В номере две кровати, шкаф для вещей, туалетный столик с зеркалом, телевизор, холодильник (охладитель), кондиционер. Туалетная комната с душевой, фен, мыло, шампуни в наличии и добавлялись каждый день. В номере были даже тапочки. Номер конечно не большой , но уютный. Не хватает наверное только чайника. Убирали номер каждый день.
Расположение отеля отличное минуты 2-3 до площади ипподром, ну и 5 минут до Софийского собора. У нас из окна на третьем этаже была видна стена и дом. Но мы в номере практически только спали и это было не важно. Многие жалуются на хорошую слышимость из других номеров, нам наверное повезло, ничего не слышали. Может соседи были тихие или их вообще не было. Всё-таки был ещё не сезон. На 5 этаже отеля ресторан, вот оттуда прекрасный вид на Босфор. Совсем рядом с отелем мечеть, утреннюю молитву слышно, кому это не нужно и кто не крепко спит советую воспользоваться берушами.
Завтрак в отеле неплохой, есть, что покушать заведует трапезой русско говорящая девушка. Завтрак изначально не оплачивали. Договорились на месте. Обошлось 25 лир с человека.
Итог : отель для его стоимости просто отличный.
