Following:
1) Property is not hotel but a bunch of shacks running together.
2) As per the information provided, property accepts card, but I was forced to pay in cash.Despite raising it to booking.com, I was told to pay cash at the property.When requested for receipt, I was given none.
3) I was asked to check into a room which was on the ground floor of neighboring family.While checking in the AC was not working and I was pushed to Stay in the same room. When declined they put me in another room.

This hotel is very nicely situated in a quiet and beautiful neighbourhood with restaurants and shops near by. Some major sights are very close, like Blue mosque is only 15min away by foot. The room was clean and cosy. We stayed only one night and wish we could stay longer. We definitely recommend it.
We had early morning flight and asked the hotel to arrange the transportation to the airport. I must say that the staff was really nice and very hospitable. The price of the transportation was quite expensive but because we had to leave almost in the middle of the night we didn't bother to look for something cheaper. We recommend the hotel to provide cheaper option and people can choose if they want luxury or just a simple car.

The staff are lovely, and made us feel welcome, and very attentive.
The booking.com listing said credit card payment was accepted - this was not true, we had to go get a cash. The 'family' room was really not suitable for a family - it was more like a double room with an extra bed cramped in. The extra bed was also very sunken on one side and uncomfortable - luckily our child was light so didn't affect them. The price was very high compared to the standard of other hotels in the area. The bathroom sink had an incorrectly installed drainpipe that was releasing all the stench into the bathroom - I fixed this problem myself by adding a bend to the concertina pipe to make a water trap. Broken tiles in bathroom. Overall, we didn't enjoy staying here, and it is a shame, because the staff were genuine.

Clean and friendly staff. Mehmet was very kind and did his best for us, despite our language barriers. The apartment was nice and fit for up to 6 persons. air conditioning was very good and we could borrow kitchen stuff from the reception.
the location, probably due to cultural value of the area, was surrounded by not so modern and fancy streets. The uphill towards biggest attractions such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, can be challenging for some people.
10.0
it was very clean and the staff was welcoming from the start. Mehmet who welcomed us helped with transfer of family from airport, showed fantastic hospitality so that our family got nice feeling from the start. Although due to longer stay of earlier guests, we did not get to our apartment directly, Mehmet and coworkers gave us very good alternative rooms. We all found them inherently helpful and amicable.
the location is in a bit imperfect area which we assume is not allowed to be modernized due to cultural value. Towards the biggest attractions, there are uphills that can be challenging for some people. the property itself was nice.
8.0
The staff were great, and helped us from the beginning. However, the air conditioning in the room was not good so we didn’t good so good sleep. Important to note that only that room had some problems, we stayed in the same hotel for four more days and the other rooms and apartments were very good.
Air conditioning was not so good and the bathroom was small for housing both shower and WC. Nevertheless, only that room, as we stayed for four more days and other rooms we nice.

5.0
The staff/owner was very friendly. The place looks nice from outside.
The issue is this place is way overpriced compared to the facilities. Small room with tiny bathroom. The only reason they can charge is because of good reviews which is really surprising.
There are much nicer hotels nearby if you spend a bit more.
Also this area is not really convenient if you want to walk to usual tourist attractions, although it looks closer on map, it's a steep climb.
8.0
- great location, close to the historical centre of Istanbul
- very friendly staff
- cozy place with a nice atmosphere
- the rooms are a bit small and "improvised" (plugs that you have trouble reaching with the kettle cord, etc.), but overall, it was not a big deal

A friendly and helpful staff, very clean rooms.
They helped us with the transport to the bus station without additional costs.
Nothing to note, everything was very good

Overall, we really enjoyed staying here. The location was good in that it was only about a 15 min walk to the main tourist areas (Blue Mosque, Haggia Sophia, Cisterns, etc.). The staff (Mahmet and Yulia) were great - very kind and considerate.
10.0
Mehmet and Yulia, our hosts, were incredible. I believe we all would consider them like family. They sure treated us that way, always willing to go the extra mile to serve and assist us.
I cannot think of anything. We love Istanbul and love Mehmet and Yulia. We hope to come back when our travels allow. The airline lost our luggage and so, they found a spot for my group of ten a week earlier too. What a gift to have more time with them in this fun city.

Nothing much really. Maybe the breakfast is nice (not included in the room, you have to pay extra)
1) We checked in around 9pm (arrived from Cappadocia). The staff left and said that they had just turned on the heater and will be working after few hours. However, the heater doesnt work at all. we contacted the hotel thru whatsapp at around 11pm and was told they they have left and will come back to fix it the next day. Just imagine we (adult, kids and baby) had to sleep in cold (it was about 6degree).
2) The house sleeps 10 people (beds plus sofa beds for 11pax). there were 10 of us and there were only 1 bathroom in the house! all 10 of us had to take turn to use the bathroom (shower and toilet bowl in the same bathroom) which is insane. they didn't specify in the page, so please be alert on this
3) Shower is also clogged. The whole toilet will turn into pool just after 5minutes of shower, and the water will only drained after 10minutes. Just imagine that plus 10 people in the house using the same shower everyday.
4) Kitchen appliances are old
5) they didnt provide any coffee/ tea/ sugar. when i requested, they just place 3 sachet of tea beg and 3 sachet of coffee powder. for 10 pax!
6) toiletries provided is just 3 bottles of shampoo and 3 small bottles of shower gel (the standard small bottles that you found in the usual hotel). they only replenish after I complaint
7) The hotel is located about 1km worth of walking up the really steep hill from nearest tram station. So if you have babies, or elderly ,this place is really not suitable for you

Amazing place, amazing hosts and amazing location. We were warmly welcomed by Yulia and Cumali who gave us excellent service. Cumali was very helpful and proactive, he carried all of our luggage all the way up the 2nd floor (we are 9 people, that's a lot of heavy luggage !). I hope his body and lower back is fine. Tell him to take care of himself ! Also when we went to the nearby store to buy water, he was also there and he offered to bring the water to our rooms. What a kind person! Yulia was also a great host she made us breakfast and her turkish coffee is quite good (not so bitter). haha. Room was fine and they provided us with all our needs and requests. Location was great too, super close walking distance to all the tourist sights, like Haghia Sophia and Topkapi Museum. Highly recommend!

We stayed 4 nights at Sultanahmet Isil hotel in September 2022. That is, we booked with them, because when we arrived the hotel was closed and a young guy who was beside the door showed us to our room, which was an apartment in a semi-abandoned building nearby. The apartment was huge for 2 persons, with 3 rooms, 2 double beds, 3 single beds and a crib, a kitchen, a bathroom. and a living room. The beds were not comfotable at all, and the curtains did not block effectively the bright light from the street, so I would suggest buying sleep masks if you're staying here. The location is good, near all the monuments in Sultanahmet, at a 15-minute walking distance from Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque

location is good!
Cleanliness and no mirrors. Also, very small space to even open bags fully.
