Budget friendly, Perfect location!
I received a good service in terms of price-performance. Given how cheap it was, I should be fair about the quality and service, which is very important. They didn’t charge me for the six cups of coffee I had. It's budget-friendly and located very close to the heart of Istanbul, so I recommend it.

Paid for a king bed at the hotel, got a room with three smaller beds in a building behind the hotel. Came back on the third day to a guy in our room. The reception worker was nice, and the location was excellent. However, I also got mildly electrocuted in the shower.

The current state of property does not match photos on Expedia. It's in disrepair. The room I had was awful, AC was full of dust, sealant around bathtub was full of mould, pipe under bathroom sink was leaking, mattress was worn in the middle, I used my own blanket. WiFi just about worked when downstairs. Location is great for sightseeing but very noisy outside, you can hear everything, from people talking, to cars, to dogs marking. People are nice but it seems like they don't care much about the hotel or customers.

The hotel was older with all the little quirks of an older establishment. Our room was clean and comfy with a seating area and a coffee table. The air condioner worked great after a long day walking around. The location was awesome. 3 minute walk your are in the heart of old Istanbul without all the noise. The staff were helpful and very friendly all the time.

Unclean. Room was old, bits of furniture falling apart, visible of dirt and dust on tabletops and furnishings and the floors were visible of grubble and dirt. The hotel, room and bathroom smelt musty and unclean. Bathroom old, gross, MOULD present. Our room was located ground floor closest to the road and it was soooo very noise of vehicles driving pass, people chatting loudly in lobby/reception area, suitcases outside we can hear rolling along the uneven stone floor. Could not sleep at all. So would recommend to get room on higher floor or elsewhere. Price was cheaper than others, so you get what you pay for I guess

The location is great but that's about it! The property is very old and needs a lot of repairs. The lady at reception is VERY LOUD! They don't consider the time and when people are sleeping. She would be yelling at 1am . We asked several times for our rooms tvs to be fixed but that never happened. I really wish I had read the reviews before booking. I would pay a bit more and get a better hotel.

The hotel is located in a decent neighborhood, not too far from Sultanahmet and all the tourist places. Breakfast was less than exciting and there was no room cleaning service for the 4 days I stayed. Not sure if I had to explicitly ask them for it. Overall, not bad for the price.

Beware of deceitful pictures on their website!
This hotel is a complete mascarade! What you see on their website (which looks great and cozy), reality is "it is awefully filthy". The misleading 8.5 rating might have been correct when the hotel launched. Now I would not advise anyone (family, big or small) to go there. We took 2 rooms. One was assigned to us de facto and it was so bad that we decided then to go to another hotel (we had alread paid $1000). It had a terrible smell, a mix of cooking and unhealthy moisture. Unbearable! We demanded to change and we got another one and got bit by mosquitos every night, My kids got bit and kept scratching where it itched the whole day. We gave them some medicine. The shower was filthy. The picture shows an elevator. It does not function! (It was one of the criteria to select this hotel: grandma cannot take stairs.) We skipped all breakfasts because it was bare minimum, served on a plate ahead of time by someone, and in an obscure room in the open courtyard with 4 or 5 cats running all over. An unleashed black dog sits on the already dirty couches and - although harmless - scared my kids every now and then whenever popping from nowhere. The smoking area is right at the front door, thus letting all the smoke get in. We could smell tobacco smoke from the rooms on the same floor. The only positives that must be stated: a nice receptionist who apologetically changed the rooms for us twice, and the proximity to the sea shore at a walking distance from the hotel. True rating? Barely 2.

On arrival the rooms that we booked were not available, we were given different accommodation at nearby hotel, the accommodation was dirty, old furniture, mouldy bathroom, next day we got told we have to be moved again as the accommodation is booked, we were given another place a small apartment that was in worse condition then the first one, and we didn't have any saying on where they are moving us. we booked to rooms in Aruna hotel not moving every day in different accommodation, we chose Aruna hotel on the base of 4 stars, but our accommodation was not even 2 stars.
