I picked this to crash for a couple of incomplete nights between other regions of Turkey because it was dirt cheap. It did the job but I wouldn't pick it for a proper trip to Istanbul.

Positives: Good location. Friendly staff. Some negatives: -Sink too small - difficult to wash face. -Fresh towels are not provided daily though staff were able to give towels on request. Staff reported linen and towels are changed every 3 days. Towels also sometimes had stains. -Hotel unable to provide extra pillows on request. Blanket was too thin and had to request an extra blanket. Overall, unlikely to return.

Çok teşekkür ederim, arkadaşlar !

Hübsche barockisierte gepflegte Möbel, außer dem großen guten Bett ein kleiner Arbeits- und ein kleiner Essplatz, Dusche und Toilette einladend, Wasserkocher und kleiner Kühlschrank, alles SEHR sauber, nachts wurde Ende Oktober geheizt, WLAN funktionierte stets und war ausreichend schnell, Personal sehr hilfsbereit. Zur Aya Sofya sind es 10 Minuten zu Fuß bei mäßiger Steigung, ein Minimarket mit Käse, Wein und Bier ist gleich um die Ecke, Frühstück (Simit und Açma) findet man Richtung Yenikapi ohne Steigung. Ganze Umgebung verkehrsberuhigt und gute Luft. Die Anfahrt geht am Besten über die Tram nach Sultan Ahmed Viertel, dann läuft man über bequeme Straßen bergab, für die Abfahrt braucht man ein Taxi, das vom Hotel angerufen wird. Besser ist bei diesem Preis nicht möglich.

Великолепный отдых на двоих

Просто великолепно. Сам отель чистый и уютный, очень доброжелательный персонал. Всё вовремя и на отлично. Рекомендую всем, особенно парам выбравшим Стамбул для путешествия, потому как все достопримечательности и архитектурные артефакты в шаговой доступности. Площадь "ипподром" с колонной Константина в пятиминутной ходьбе, а чуть дальше уже Голубая мечеть и Аль София.... Рекомендую посетить старую рабочую церковь святых Сергия и Вакха, она прямо за углом в низ к набережной, и её мастерские..... WiFi отличный. Вокруг много маленьких уютных кафе и ресторанчиков. Кого раздражает пять звёзд, и хочется самостоятельности в поисках городских артефактов, то Вам сюда... ))) Цена за проживание, в сравнении с другими отелями в этом районе, на порядок ниже. Зы... с русским языком проблем не было, в соседнем отеле (двери рядом) хозяин отеля знает его практически в совершенстве. Вообщем рекомендую...

Приємне місце для відпочинку після насичених екскурсій. Охайно, привітний персонал. Проживали в номері № 1 з двома окремими ліжками, вікна над парадним входом. В номері WiFi, холодильник, чайник, ТВ, власна туалетна кімната з душем, фєном. Біла білизна, білі рушники, капці. Щоденне прибирання, винос мусора. На ресепції цілодобово гарячий турецький чай, кулер з питною водою. Персонал говорить англійською. Магазини, кафе, бістро поруч. Рекомендую!

Great hotel for a cheap price!!!

We stayed at Emir Hotel for a couple of nights and it was a great experience. The rooms are cosy and clean. The owners are really kind and helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect. It's in the middle of the city and quite near the blue mosque, the old bazar and much more. A perfect hotel for a cheap and affordable price. Definitly a hotel we're intending to go back to on our next trip to istanbul.

Há poucos passos da Mesquita azul

Localização excelente do hotel, há poucos passos da Mesquita Azul e Santa Sofia (por esse motivo nós o escolhemos) mas o hotel tem uma estrutura antiga. Não possui elevador, então lembre-se das malas pesadas. Pelo bom custo beneficio eu recomendo a hospedagem neste hotel. Bons restaurantes por perto.

Kleines Hotel, nah am Zentrum. Bahn und viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. (Ich empfehle vom Hotel aus auch mal weiter nach unten zu gehen und dort am Meer entlang spazieren zu gehen.) Saubere und gepflegte Zimmer. Sehr höfliche und freundliche Mitarbeiter. Es gab einmal ein Problem mit dem Warmwasser und mit der Toilettenspülung - es wurde sich sofort darum gekümmert, und in 2 minuten war alles wieder ok. Handtücher und Bettwäsche wurden regelmäßig gewechselt. Klima und WiFi war vorhanden und hat auch immer funktioniert. Das einzige was man bemängeln könnte ist, dass Handtücher und Bettwäsche manchmal kleine Löcher hatten, und dass im Badezimmer manche Stellen etwas abgewohnt ist. Aber es war alles trotzdem sauber, deswegen hat es mich nicht gestört. Wenn ich nochmal nach Istanbul komme, würde ich nochmal in dieses Hotel gehen.

Petit Hôtel idéal

Hôtel très propre et calme, les chambres sont douillettes et climatisées. La rue est très calme. Parfaitement situé quand on vient pour la première fois (et qu'on enchaîne les sites touristiques) : a deux pas de la Mosquée Bleue, de la basilique Sainte Sophie, du Palais du Sultan, et de la ligne de tramway ultra pratique qui permet d'aller au Grand Bazar et vers la Tour Galata.
