Hotel Antique Istanbul

This is a funky little place to stay right where you want to be. It's clearly a converted residence, doing the best they can to squeeze economical lodging into a narrow multi story building. I found the public space and staff to be charming, the accommodations complete but spare. Some stories will illustrate. I was arriving after midnight and was worried that there would be problems getting in since there were no responses to phone calls the day before. BUT they responded very quickly to messages via expedia and told me the desk was manned 24/7. I walked in around 1 am and found the receptionist was napping (which is perfectly fine with me at that time of night!) He didn't wake up to greetings but with a clap of the hands he was instantly awake and 100% professional without a second of recovery time. Never seen anything like it, very charming. The room had a couple twin beds and some tasteful art on the wall. AC from a mini-split. But the bathroom was like an economy cruise: to get to the sink to brush my teeth I had to open the door and step into the shower pit in order to close it to access the sink. toilet paper was affixed behind your head while sitting on the pot. Thankfully the toilet was western rather than middle eastern style, but there was no shower curtain, which is typical for the middle east. Breakfast was fine, with a charming back balcony. Cheese, bread, olives, sweets, tea and coffee. I thought it was perfect for the price.
