    I think that sheet and pillow sheet weren't clean, but I always carrying mine, so it doesn't matter. Stairs in hotel are small, but I noticed that many places has similar too.

    Guys from reception were great, also they helped us with luggage and taxi from hotel to airport. Room was nice, bed was comfortable and whole stay there was great as well. Best thing about this accommodation is location: close to many historical localities in Sultanahmet, public transportation, Grand and Egyptian bazar and Eminonu port. This accommodation is great value of money, you can not expect something luxurious for cheap price as this one is. Beside some small shortcomings, I would defined again stay there!

    Very little to dislike about the Emir. Perhaps some heavier curtains on the window to keep the light out at night. Anyone with mobility issues should request a ground floor room as the stairs are narrow.

    Location was perfect, close to tourist attractions, the Metro and lots of restaurants to choose from nearby. Friendly and helpful staff, on hand 24/7 with any information needed. Very good value for money

    I visit hottest season “June”, AC was not providing proper cooling, hotel should provide basics like shampoo, drinking water atleast welcome one water bottle and few tea bags. Fridge was not working.

    The room needed some minor repairs and some extras won't hurt (like, it has a boiler but no cups..). It's 3 floors and has no elevator, so if you have limited mobility, keep this in mind.

    Comfortable bed, great location, hotel staff is very friendly and welcominf.

    - The bathroom was not very clean and we had issues with the water not draining fast enough during a normal shower, this caused the shower to turn into a small pool... the good thing is that the staff fixed the issue the next day after reporting it - Bed was not very comfortable mostly due to the mattress that was quite thin, the pillows were not very good as well and the bedsheets even though they were clean, in some cases you could still see old stains

    - Location was exceptional, you can visit the main touristic places by just a 10-15 minute walk, it feels very safe as well - Staff were splendid (the 2 guys), they really tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible, they were very friendly and helpful, they provided recommendations for places to go (and NOT to go as most restaurants in the area have double or even tripled the prices due to tourists not knowing what prices should be reasonable), they also helped book the taxi to the airport and MADE sure that the taxi charged a fixed price agreed before your departure from the hotel) - Internet was surprisingly very fast and stable, you can easily stream whatever you want with good quality

    I would like to thank all the staff who were so kind and helpful with us. About the hotel, I can say that it was very clean and very comfortable, and thanks to Mrs. Nargis who comes every day to clean. The thing I would like to point out is that this hotel deserves 5 stars, 4 stars for the staff and the fifth star for its geographical location. I recommend it to anyone going to Turkey thank you a lot and i wish you all the best sara and ahmed from algeria 23/08/2022

    Weak wifi and bathroom door couldn't lock properly, but anyway, it was very nice hotel.

    Superb location, friendly staff ready to help, comfortable and clean apartment with fridge, tresor and good view of the city. It is located at pretty calm street as well so noise isnt as disturbing as it could be. I liked the option of transport from airport to hotel, organised by this hotel if you need it, and its cheaper than normal taxi.
