Ring Stone Hotels Old City - Special Class

The hotel is in a fantastic location - we had a good view from our room, breakfast was exceptional and the staff were lovely and very helpful.

All was great!

Staff the best. Kind and welcoming Building A rooms are great , with superb view!

The staff were accommodating for any of our needs, Hamza one of the staff was super helpful. The room was extremely spacious and the bed very comfortable. The location is superb, only 5 minute walk to the Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. The Bizaar is also within a 10 minute walk. The tram at Sultanahmet is also in this location, which makes getting around very easy.

The room was noisy from groundworks in the street on the first night, however this was only one night. Prayer starts at 5.30am so earbuds might be worth having. This is clearly not a representation of the hotel as this is out of their control. The hotel met all of our expectations.

Convenient location, within walking distance of many of the sights we were in Istanbul to see. The neighborhood was safe with a police presence just down on the corner.

The room we were assigned was literally at/off the front door of the hotel lobby. Very convenient with all the luggage we had with us, but very inconvenient with you hearing EVERYTHING that goes on in the lobby or out on the street in front of the hotel. This included every person checking in/out of the hotel as well as the mating wild cats in the late afternoon. Istanbul is a city of cats, just so you know. Most annoying were the lobby chairs right out in front of the door to our room which always seemed to be occupied by people coming and going and their luggage we would have to walk around to leave our room. The worst however, was when a friend of the night time manager showed up late one night and proceeded to talk at the top of his lungs for about 30 min (around 11 pm) before I got dressed and went out signaling to the manager to tone it down, which he immediately had his friend do. Bottom line: turn down this room. We stayed there 4 nights and I should have done it, but my wife talked me out of it.
