هتل آسمالی

Very Good

+ Super close to all the sites we wanted to visit and great breakfast

− A little bit run down in places

A budget option for those who want to live in the historic center

+ This is a very affordable hotel in a very expensive area of ​​Istanbul. The rooms are small and dated, but overall clean, and the staff is welcoming.

− Overall everything is very old, the air conditioners are noisy and old

Pleasant

+ I would like to especially thank .Eren. for his outstanding kindness, professionalism and willingness to help. From the very beginning, he was friendly, patient, and always took the time to answer every question with a smile. He did everything he could to make our stay as comfortable as possible, and we truly appreciated his efforts. The location of the hotel is excellent and perfect for exploring the city. The staff were always kind, welcoming, and helpful, and they deserve recognition for their excellent service. Everything is clean and tidy. The bathrooms have been refurbished and clean. As far as cleanliness is concerned, everything is great. The breakfast is also excellent. A large selection of salty and sweet, fruit as well as a large selection of beverages: tea, coffee, juices, milk.

− Unfortunately, the hotel itself is old and it need of renovation. Many things in the rooms, such as the chairs, blankets and carpentry were damaged, broken, or worn out. The first room we were given had a strong smell of mold, so we contacted Eren who immediately helped us and moved us to a renovated room which were very good.However, the next day we were moved again to another room near the reception, that two rooms were reserved for guests who were arriving that day and later to a different room on the second floor. During our five-night stay, we had to change rooms four times, which was very inconvenient and made it difficult to relax and enjoy our vacation. The staff were always kind, welcoming, and helpful, and they deserve recognition for their excellent service. Mr. Džafer owner of the hotel, who solved and eliminated problems with his employees, says that he wants to keep the traditional things in the hotel, and therefore its spirit, and that it takes time. I'm sure he'll do it because he's a good, smart and kindly man.

Perfect location. Very good for the price.

+ Perfect location. Free parking for the whole period of our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very nice breakfast.

A comfortable stay near the Hippodrome of the Constantinople

+ Really great location. 350 meters from the Hippodrome of the Constantinople. Simple facilities and a good breakfast.

− Some facilities need maintenance, however, for the price and convenience of location, can be considered as a compromise.

Good hotel for its price

+ Great location, affordable price, helpful staff. Breakfast was good.

− I was quite surprised by how narrow the twin beds were. Usually, twin beds in hotels are at least semi-double size, but these felt like proper single beds — very tight and not very comfortable. Another downside was the hot water. The hotel seemed to turn it off in the mornings and during the day to save energy, which was quite inconvenient. There was no bedside lighting at all — only one large ceiling lamp for the entire room

Pleasant

+ Very helpful gentlemen at the reception, staf was okay, hotel position.

− lack of hot water at night, the room had a noise problem (as if the windows were open). I asked for a double bed and there were 2 beds close together, the breakfast was small and poor. the coffee was terrible

Excellent

+ Welcoming, friendly staff. Good location. Good breakfast selection.

Very good!

+ Goos size rooms, staff very friendly and always happy to help, very good location, 10 minutes walk to the Blue Mosque and the rest of the amenities!

− Could to with a refurbishment as it appears very old.

Perfect position and breakfast with very nice view

+ Perfect position, near to Sultanahmet Mosque and many restaurants. We enjoyed good breakfasts on the terrace with a very nice view on the Bosforo and on the city. The staff is kind and helpful

− The room, its bathroom and all the structure need some refurbishment
