Be careful with the price proposed by the hotel for the airport transfer: they are expensive,40 eur to make the transfer return ticket You can use: -taxi: there are everywhere,it is 8 eur to make the transfer one way -a transfer shuttle in the street next to the hostel Sultans Inn, it is open... more Be careful with the price proposed by the hotel for the airport transfer: they are expensive,40 eur to make the transfer return ticket You can use: -taxi: there are everywhere,it is 8 eur to make the transfer one way -a transfer shuttle in the street next to the hostel Sultans Inn, it is open even during the night and it is 4 eur to go to the airport -or take the metro that arrives in the airport and then the tram that leads you directly to Sultanhamet. Total price: 1,5 eurclose

Es ist lieber ein Hotel als Hostel. Wir waren schon zum zweiten Mal da, weil es uns so sehr gefallen hat. Es liegt nicht in der populärsten Hostelstraße der Stadt, aber noch immer nur 5 Min zu Fuß von den berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber es ist daher nich so laut. Man kann seine Ruhe haben. Die Zimmer sind super sauber, klimatisiert, was im Sommer besonders gut ist. :) Und das Frühstück auf dem Dachbodenterasse! Unvergesslich! Wir kommen sicher noch wieder!close

As far as value - below average compared to other places we stayed in the city and in Turkey. One general thought for bookings in Turkey - don't book ahead unless it appears online that everything is completely booked. It's acceptable to bargain, with the exception of large, corporate type accomodations.close

Fantastic place to start discovering Istanbul! Very clean and comfortable. Tou can reach all the actractions in Sultanhamet just walking. You can see the blue mosque from the windows. I deeply recomed this place!

On arrival we were told that the room that I had reserved three days earlier had ´water problem´´and we would have to go to another hotel. Not only was this highly frustrating it was unprofessional as they did not contactmeat any point to tell methatthiswas the case. They refused to also reduce the price when they were inconviencing us! Be wary of this place.close

A nice place, good location down the hill from the blue mosque. rooms are a little small but more cozy than claustrophobic. The unlimited free internet is in a tourist office 10 minutes walk away, but you can use the one at the front desk if you have to check something quicky.
