The building itself is old and very, very noisy, even for me, and I don't usually mind. I could hear the people across the hall chatting in their room clearly enough to make out what they were talking about. There is also one room in particular, N.401, that has all the A/C units of the building outside the window, and it's insanely loud, but they moved us when we asked. There is double-pane glass but it doesn't seem to do anything for noise. The rooms look a lot more spacious in the pictures, but are actually quite cramped, which was a bit uncomfortable as a family of four adults. I think it'd be great for younger families or solo travellers/couples. The beds were also very short - for reference, I am 158cm and struggled, my sister who is a bit taller couldn't stretch her legs on the single bed. The bathroom door in our second room was also not properly hinged and you needed to lift it or hit it to be able to close it. Soap unit could get stuck, too. For some reason, the hot/cold water in the shower and sink is inverted. Overall, the age of the building really shows, and our impression was that the renovations were quite hasty and not thought out too well, style over substance. If you're looking for a comfortable, long stay, this is not a place I'd really recommend. If your intention is to have a base to rest sometimes and you don't mind noise at night or the occasional door you have to strong-arm in exchange for a great location, helpful staff, and a cheap price, it's great value for money.

Located in a great central spot of the old Istanbul, less than a 20min walk from all the main attractions, near plenty of restaurants and minimarkets. It's absolutely worth the stay, if only for the great location. Hospitality was definitely our favorite thing - when we had a problem with the first room, they offered to transfer us to another one without complaints, and the staff was always kind and helpful with all the questions we had. You can use both the room key and a keypad to enter, meaning anyone can leave and re-enter easily without having the physical key. There is parking nearby for 15€ a day, and the hotel staff can also help you find it and pay for it (they take EUR as well as TL). Nothing stood out as unclean, including the less-commonly used throw pillows and the cutlery. You also get plenty of towels and single-use slippers. The kitchen has an induction-heated stove, with all the kitchenware you'll need, as well as a fridge. Unfortunately the freezer we had seemed to not be able to freeze properly, but that's okay. Shower pressure was good and the temperature had plenty of range, including scalding hot! Overall it was a well-located, friendly place to stay.

The location is very close to the Sultanahmet square. The turistic places are available by walk. The host was helpful

Location, stuff

A couple of things, the bathroom door doesn't shut easily. The door is off-hung to where it's leaning and leans against the door frame. Have to lift it to shut. Also very squeaky. The other thing I didn't like, was the stove top. Didn't work the time from first time. Used and abused. I had staff come up several times in the morning to get it to turn on.

Location walking distance to many tourist attractions, and close to the tramway.

Would’ve expected more from the housekeepers when it came to cleaning.

The hotel was convenient very close to main attractions also had nice decor

It's not a massive building, so there was no lift to take bags up and down. In this day and age, I think a smart TV will make this apartment really excellent for guests' entertainment. I also did not like that locals were ready to cash in on foreigners. so one has to learn to bargain and bargain to pay the real price for things.

The location is excellent. Staff members were always present and helpful, coming every day to pick up rubbish. The beds are so comfortable. Good lighting. Having shops very close by was a convenience.

The stairs to bring the laugages.

I love the space and the comfort.

Missing soap (only shower gel was provided), and there was no bottle of water on the bed. At the end of the day, when you get to your room, you kind of hope for a bottle of water — maybe even a small snack. But maybe that’s just me

Good room, overall I liked it a lot and it's great value for the price.

Not too much space and furniture for 4 people.

Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff, good price

The apartment was fine for 4 people. It was possible to cook using the kitchen. There are shops available in the area to buy food. Walkable distance to the historical city centre. It was a bit complicated to get there with the luggage, as the street goes up a hill.

The souterrain room can get quite noisy at times because of the street noise and the fact that the cleaning room is next door. For me it wasn't a big problem but if you are noise sensitive keep it in mind. The Hotel offers an Airport Shuttle to IST for 60€ which I find very pricey compared to other options.

The Residences are located in Sultanahmet, just a couple of minutes walk from the Ayasophia and Blue Mosque. It is surrounded by numerous restaurants and cafes but keep in mind that it is a touristy area which others may like, others don't. You can also walk to the Çemberlitas tramway station from where you can easily connect to Karaköy. Hence, location wise it is an ideal place to explore the touristic parts of Istanbul. The room itself was clean and comfortable, everything was there even hairdryer and toiletries. Always when I went out I found my room cleaned and tidied up.

We could hear the neighbors upstairs very well, almost every step on the floor, but we were lucky that they were quiet. :)

Everything was very good. We stayed in March, when the nights are still cold - the room was very warm and the heating worked. The kitchen was small, but well equipped enough to make simple meals or breakfast. The city center is within walking distance, the street next to the house was quiet.

Rooms were not soundproof. We were with two toddlers so they make noise when were in for short period of time.

Staff was welcoming and helpful. Location was best

My room had the following minor issues: - No temperature control on the radiators -- they are either very hot or cold. - The closet was not stable, it almost fell down a few times. Keep an eye on the kids. - The kitchen cold water faucet is located in such a way that it is impossible to turn on the cold water completely. - The toilet lid does not fit properly. - The hotel is in a low-lying area so it may be difficult for someone to get uphill.

- The hotel is located in a quiet location. - Easy access to the historic center, shops nearby. - Convenient access to the airport (12 minutes walk to M2, transfer to M11). - Although my bed didn't look comfortable from the outside, it was very comfortable to sleep on. The pillows were just the way I like them). - Daily housekeeping in the rooms. - There is a playground nearby.

There was a bit of confusion over access to the room, which wasn't ready when we were told it would be and there were no staff available to explain this to us. When we did find the staff they were very helpful.

This was a great location in the old town of Istanbul, very easy to walk to major attractions like Haggia Sofia and Blue Mosque. The facilities in the room were also decent.

The size of the room for 6 people was a bit stuffy with just one bathroom + toilet to share. But I would stay here again if travelling with fewer people.

The location was absolutely wonderful! You could see the sea from the streets nearby, walk to all the monuments in the area and even the grand mosque. Yet, the property managed to be in a quiet corner where you could getaway from the chaos of the touristy areas.

If you have room on top floor there is few stairs so be aware of it, staff did help with baggage.

Good location, pleasant and helpful staff

There is a kitchenette, unfortunately not equiped (no knifes, spoons etc.), so we could not even make a soup or drink a coffee with sugar. Asking for spoons ended in a "very direct" YOK. As well, the room was only maintained only once in 5 days (towls changed, bed arranged etc.).

Nice hotel, very near to the city center and all comodities and touristic sites, there were normal shops and restaurants around (no tourist traps), tram station can be reached within 10-15 min (uphill !) we had been lucky that our room was quite, towards the backyard, as the environment is quite crowdy, quite some traffic bathroom was tidy, beds were comfortable access via code worked very well
