I received a good service in terms of price-performance. Given how cheap it was, I should be fair about the quality and service, which is very important. They didn’t charge me for the six cups of coffee I had. It's budget-friendly and located very close to the heart of Istanbul, so I recommend it.

10/10

The hotel was older with all the little quirks of an older establishment. Our room was clean and comfy with a seating area and a coffee table. The air condioner worked great after a long day walking around. The location was awesome. 3 minute walk your are in the heart of old Istanbul without all the noise. The staff were helpful and very friendly all the time.

Paid for a king bed at the hotel, got a room with three smaller beds in a building behind the hotel. Came back on the third day to a guy in our room. The reception worker was nice, and the location was excellent. However, I also got mildly electrocuted in the shower.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! I have no idea how this place has so many good reviews, it is utterly horrible and disgusting. Our room was filthy, had exposed wiring, and bugs crawling all over the room. We were in the basement room and the room had 0 privacy. The door was basically in the main dining room for all the staff members and guests and it had horrible street noise. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights but after one night of zero sleep and feeling utterly disgusted, we left. Only one person of the staff spoke any English (even though the listing mentions fluent English staff). Normally I am completely understanding about this but when the condition of the room/hotel is so bad that we can’t communicate to any staff even through google translate it was incredibly frustrating. The “beautiful court yard” showed in the pictures of this place does not exist, the courtyard instead is full of construction materials and other debris. The elevator is also broken and the bathroom is filthy with jagged pieces of tile, mold, and stains all over the bathtub. I can’t tell you how horrible our experience was. Please, save yourself a terrible time and book a room anywhere else.

The hotel is located in a decent neighborhood, not too far from Sultanahmet and all the tourist places. Breakfast was less than exciting and there was no room cleaning service for the 4 days I stayed. Not sure if I had to explicitly ask them for it. Overall, not bad for the price.

2/10

The current state of property does not match photos on Expedia. It's in disrepair. The room I had was awful, AC was full of dust, sealant around bathtub was full of mould, pipe under bathroom sink was leaking, mattress was worn in the middle, I used my own blanket. WiFi just about worked when downstairs. Location is great for sightseeing but very noisy outside, you can hear everything, from people talking, to cars, to dogs marking. People are nice but it seems like they don't care much about the hotel or customers.
2-night trip

4/10

This is not a 4 star hotel, more like a 2 star at most. The staff are friendly and helpfull. That is the only positive thing. The building is very old, and the over all standard is not even close to a 3 star hotel. Don't know how they can call it a 4 star hotel. The worst was the experiance of the airport transfer. I booked and prepaid for hotel transfer at 06:00 in the morning. The taxi came 45 minutes late. I allmost missed the flight. I never got any explain for the reason, but I think they forgot to call the taxi.

The worst hotel you can ever book. Please trust me and never book this hotel. This hotel stinks so bad, have mold and disgusting rooms. The restroom have the galley opening with no locks. No security at all .

The location is great but that's about it! The property is very old and needs a lot of repairs. The lady at reception is VERY LOUD! They don't consider the time and when people are sleeping. She would be yelling at 1am . We asked several times for our rooms tvs to be fixed but that never happened. I really wish I had read the reviews before booking. I would pay a bit more and get a better hotel.

On arrival the rooms that we booked were not available, we were given different accommodation at nearby hotel, the accommodation was dirty, old furniture, mouldy bathroom, next day we got told we have to be moved again as the accommodation is booked, we were given another place a small apartment that was in worse condition then the first one, and we didn't have any saying on where they are moving us. we booked to rooms in Aruna hotel not moving every day in different accommodation, we chose Aruna hotel on the base of 4 stars, but our accommodation was not even 2 stars.

This is the worst hotel I have stayed in my entire life! Don't believe the pictures you see in the hotel listings. Those pictures must have been taken 10 years ago. The hotel is in an awful shape! The bathrooms are run-down. Showers have old mold and broken shelves. We stayed in a basement rooms with shower cabins lifted up in almost 70 centimeters from the floor and it was very difficult to get into and out of them. The bedding was awful. Some pillows had no pillow cases and had old yellow stains all over them. Some pillows were stuffed with some uneven lumps of something. When we moved in my blanket was still wet. Also my wife's blanket had some dead insects in them. The towels are so old that they had holes in them. Some towels were just torn in half to be smaller. At one point we asked a cleaning person to take out several trash bags with food in them, and that person just left them outside our room on the floor. The elevator that is prominently pictured in one of the photos does not work. The place has dogs running around in the cafeteria and at the entrance. One big not pleasantly looking dog just spreads itself on the welcome mat and sleeps and you have to make sure you don't step over it! On the positive side, the staff was friendly and was trying to help. But still the condition were horrible and we were so glad we finally checked out of that place!
