My Holiday Time Hotel

Check in was no problem when we arrived at 22:00. We were warmly greeted and offered 2 rooms to pick from. We chose the top floor since it had a beautiful view of the Sultanahmed mosque (Blue mosque) and a view of some of the Bosphorus. The rooftop terrace was above us, which has gorgeous views during the day and is a great place for beer/wine in the evening. The room had a firm bed, closet, desk, water boiler, fridge. Room also has AC if needed. Bathroom was good size and had infinite hot water. It never got cold. The bathroom had a noticeable slant. Everytime we walked in you would get a hit of dizziness that would eventually disappear. It was not noticeable in the shower though, just at the sink. It’s good to keep the windows closed during sunrise/sunset to keep mosquitos out.

The personal was super nice. We had problems with the language but he always tried to attend to our demands. The room had everything we needed. The place is also close to the center of the city and transportation. The smell of smoking. During the first day we could smell it in our room, eventhough we don t smoke.

Excellent location. Owner of the hotel gave us early check in, which was very comfortable and good manner from his side (y)

Everything you need for a comfortable stay in the historical center of Istanbul, including parking!

This is a great hotel in terms of price and quality. Also worth mentioning is the staff, who are ready to help guests in everything — this is really important. They speak English and Russian. Our room needed some cosmetic repairs, but it had everything you need for a comfortable stay. There was a refrigerator and an electric kettle in the room. On the top floor of the hotel there is a terrace where you can smoke or eat at any time of the day. The only significant minus for me — every day at 6 am from our room you could clearly hear the singing of the mullah, even with earplugs. But this does not depend on the hotel, and gradually you get used to it just like the locals.

The location is great you don’t need taxi or transport at all There is no elevator

Amazing little hotel, exceptional for its price. Location is wonderful - the hotel is placed right in the old city center, with 3 minute walk to the seafront and about 10 minutes to Hagia Sophia. The room was very clean and spacious, with a comfortable double bed, a table, a fridge, a kettle, a hair dryer, good WiFi and air conditioner. Also there's a lovely open terrace on the rooftop with a beautiful view on the city, Hagia Sofya and Little Sofya and the sea - amazing place to sit with a coffee in the evening The staff is super friendly and hospitable, speaks English and Russian well, ready to help - the first night we noticed the lighting in the room felt a bit dim, and by the next evening they've already changed the lightbulbs. The rooms are cleaned regularly and neatly. Overall we've really enjoyed our stay, and if we're in Istanbul once more, we'll be happy to stay here again The location is very good, but the streets around are lively and somewhat noisy, and the hotel is surrounded by three mosques, so muezzin calls could be heard quite loudly - it was ok for us and not a problem really, but better be ready

Amazing

The location is perfect you can walk everywhere and don’t need a car. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are cleaned daily. The terrace is amazing with a view of the Blue Mosque and Bosphorus. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The host even found us a free parking in front of the hotel even thoguh it wasn’t offered on booking. I can’t recommend more to book this hotel. The stairs are steeps and there is no elevator so it can be challenging to carry the suitcase up the stairs, but the host carried our suitcase to our room.
