Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice people running it, but this place was quite disappointing. Small rooms. We found several human hairs hanging on the towel rack in the bathroom. First night no bath towels and no blankets. Small, weak air conditioning that eventually operated effectively, but it took quite a while. Breakfast was a part of the room rate, and the breakfast was also unimpressive. It was not fresh...poor quality food. I think they found the cheapest vendor they could find and served it. We were there for three mornings and felt like we had to go out every morning to get a decent breakfast. Even just for a decent cup of coffee. The only thing this hotel was good for was sleeping (once the A/C got up to speed). The rest of the experience was cheap and sub-par. Like I said, nice people, but they don't know how to run a hotel.

we liked it but with some critics
My girlfriend liked it a lot. But we had some critics. The room was too small in comparison with the photos in the website. I guess they have used some photoing technique to show the room larger than what it is. It cause raising of your expectation from the hotel with luxury equipment. First they gave us a room that it was too small. when I asked for another one they give me bigger one that it was OK. There is no elevator, and for the top floor, you may find yourself in difficulty to go there. But I prefer top floor scene to sea which was good and gives good feeling. The staffs were really kind and the receptionist talks English well. They have shuttle to Ataturk airport that costs only 5 Euro per person. Rooms are very comfort and clean.I liked the cleaners a lot. They do cleaning whenever you want even when it is too late. TV does not show good quality of pictures. Breakfast options is not good. I saw better options in Istanbul even in hostels!! But it was OK generally.One of the receptionist told me that coffee and tea is not free. Normally hotels have coffee maker in rooms. I asked for a boiler and they gave me one. You may ask to have it if you are interested. I had very good days in this hotel. All critics are because I paid quiet a lot for this hotel and photos cause much expectations before going there. In conclusion, by keeping the above critics in your mind, I recommend the hotel to you.

Small budget hotel
The hotel staff was the highlight. Very friendly and accommodating. The biggest problem for us was expectations: In the description and photos, the hotel presents itself as some sort of luxury hotel, with modern facilities. In reality, however, it is a very low budget, cheap hotel, maybe one or two steps above a youth hostel. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable, but thats about it. For example, the rooms are extremely small. Our suitcases wouldn't even fit into our first room so we called Expedia and demanded a change. The next room was not much bigger but at least we could lay down our suitcases and open them. The hotel itself is in a bit of a sketchy neighbourhood with lots of stray cats and lights on at night. The breakfast was also substandard with a lot being offering but all very low quality (not fresh at all). Finally, the finishings in the room are very old and broken. Our shower door was broken, the toilet seat loose and just general cracks in the wall and such. So overall, not a positive stay.

Nice hotel 20 minutes walk to Sultan Ahmet
When I first arrived I was put in room 301. This is not a nice room. The day after I was moved to a room in the new extension. This was a nice room. Breakfast needs to have more varieties. The only available drink was orange concentrates which has a medicinal aftertaste. They should include proper fresh juices. The TV reception was bad. They also need to add a list of English channels to make them easy to find. Every room needs an iron and an ironing board instead of asking reception for one when one needs it. But all in all for the price the hotel is good and the staff are always helpful and cheerful.

Hotel Experience in Istanbul
We arrived at hotel around 10 pm and they told us they put us in a different hotel which was a lower quality accommodation as I paid for my room in advanced. We moved to the hotel next day and they accommodated us for the rest of trip. Stuff were very helpful and room was clean. The breakfast wasn't as we expected as some stuff was old like jams, honey. We didn't have TV reception for whole time so we couldn't get the news or weather information. We lost water in one morning when I was in shower for over 20-30 min. and when the water resumed, it was muddy. The water pressure was low in shower head all the time. The water was really hot and water temp was changing so fast, I burned myself couple of times. The place was close to attractions but in bottom of hill we needed to walk up for 1/2 mile or so and didn't see any metro station close by. We had a good experience in Istanbul over all.but having access to metro from hotel is important if you have problem for walking up hills.
