Ahmet Efendi Evi  

It was a perfect stay! Excellent room, excellent location, excellent staff.

Surprisingly charming small hotel in a scarily colorful neighborhood, actually well-served, a 5-10 minutes walk from Sultanhamet Square (Blue Mosque, Ayasofia, tramway stop). Really, really cute at a low price, and the staff proved - more than kind - genuinely helpful!

Shower tends to flood bathroom (have rubber slippers). The Turkish bath they suggested us (a business partner) was a disappointment. Also, nightlife in the immediate neighborhood is limited to kitsch tourist- only venues. Remember you've got to pay in cash (Euros ok)!

A very warm and personal welcome. All the rooms were clean and comfortable. Everyone was outstandingly friendly and helpful throughout our stay and really put themselves out with practical advice, including new year's eve restaurant and taxi bookings at short notice.

very friendly and helpful staff, good local breakfast

The hotel has a very good position, not more than 5 minutes walking to Sultanahmet. It is very comfortable, the rooms are very clean. The hotel has a very good position, not more than 5 minutes walking to Sultanahmet.It is very comfortable and the rooms are very clean; towels are changed every day.What is very important is that the staff is great and they speak very well English. When you arrive they will present you a little bit the city and where it is ok to go and you can ask them for help whenever you need.The breakfast is basic, the same every day but you can find something to eat.I Can say that you will feel like in a family.The hotel is very nice decorated and even the smell will introduce you in the atmosphere of Istanbul.I Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

The bathroom is very small and if you want to take a shower the entire floor will be full of water because the shower cabin it's closed only with a curtain.

The staff was really decent and generous. I felt at home very much. The room was completely clean. The location was within a 5-10 minutes walk distance from the blue mosque and a train station. The circumstance was quiet because few tourists were walking around.

I could not use the wireless LAN at the 2nd floor (European "2nd" floor).

This is a lovely little boutique hotel at a really great price. The staff is small and therefore a really personal service. We arrived after a hellish overnight bus experience, and were given a family room with two double beds instead of the twin we booked out of sympathy! Was very kind. Breakfast was lovely, one of the best buffets we had in Turkey. The hotel was faultless really and both my friend and I will be recommending it to friends and family.

Hospitality

We wish to recommend this magnificent place to all of those who want real good time in Old city Istanbul. The team/staff is very kind and hotel is nice and sweet, in very good location.

WE have only good things to say!!!

The Hotel staff are extremely nice and friendly. Yes it is subjective but be assured they will be trying to help you in any way they can. The hotel itself is a nice, out of the hustle of Istanbul, you can peacefully relax after long day of sightseeing walks

Nothing, however perhaps the hotel reception can have a dedicated and manned security at night time. In most case, it may not be needed if you need not to step out after midnight.

The hotel is small and cosy, and the staff were wonderful, very helpful and considerate.

Very well located. The Staff is amazing and the hotel is very clean. Everybody is welcoming you as family in french and english. They also take time to introduce the city and advise you some places to go.

People who run Ahmet Efendi Evi are very friendly and always ready to help. Excellent localisation. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

It is not a big thing but after a couple of days you might get bored with breakfast menu.
