Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities rating is lower than other categories — While rooms and staff score highly, the Facilities category is rated 7.4, suggesting some communal areas or equipment may feel dated or basic.
- Price is higher than the area average — At £84 per night, the property sits above the Sultanahmet area average rating of 8.0, which may reflect a premium for the location and views.
- Some basement rooms are small — One guest noted the basement room felt small for a family, though they were upgraded to a larger top-floor room.
- No pets and no on-site smoking — Pets are not allowed, and the entire property is non-smoking, which may be a drawback for some travellers.

9Verified guest“Affordable apartment with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Friendly and helpful staff welcomed us. It was great in a quiet and safe neighbourhood.”
9Verified guest“We had a fantastic stay. The owner, Yusuf, was extremely helpful from the moment we arrived. He gave clear directions and even walked us there. The family suite was perfect, with a comfortable living room where we could relax after exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped and bright, and daily cleaning was a bonus. The location was ideal, within walking distance of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and the tram was close by. We especially loved the rooftop terrace with its beautiful water view. It was comfy and enjoyable. Cons: I can't think of anything.”
9Verified guest“Comfortable for a vacation, fairly clean apartment. An excellent place to stay, with pleasant staff. Huge room, exceptionally comfortable bed, flat-screen TV with cable channels, climate control, and a personal safe.”
9Verified guest“Good service, really great for a vacation. I truly enjoyed the sea views. It was in a very quiet area close to all the major attractions.”
9Verified guest“Loved our stay. Perfect location, great local cuisine, plenty of room, and a bonus kitchen. Yusuf, the manager, was very helpful and spoke fluent English. The apartment had all the amenities we needed, including stable Wi-Fi and a cozy terrace with a view. Definitely exceeded our expectations.”
9Verified guest“Bargain! I wish we had stayed longer. Very nice and clean, modern flat just behind the Blue Mosque. Sea view from the roof terrace. The information leaflet and map of Istanbul were very useful. Highly recommend to everyone!”
