Great location but poor condition
Great location but the building is in poor condition and the people were unfriendly and not very helpful. The room was tiny and old. We moved to another place in the street - the new hotel was more expensive but significantly better on all aspects.

We are really sorry that I could not please you. Like every hotel, we have some rules. Our guests must comply with these rules. As we stated at the entrance: Our breakfast time ends at 10:00AM. If you want room service, you must deliver your key to the reception until 14:00o'clock. Your rooms are disinfected for your health due to Covid-19 and leave a little odor.You just have to air it for 5 minutes.

A pleasant budget-friendly hotel with a breakfast
The hotel room itself was a typical room, except the bathroom was a bit crammed and shower head needed replacement (water was just dropping down instead of being properly spraying, making for an awkward shower). The breakfast was EXCELLENT. Thank you! I was there for two nights, but the room was not cleaned and towels were not changed during my stay. The best thing, though, was that they gave me my room when I arrived very early, and they invited me for the breakfast (even though technically my first breakfast was to be had the next day). Thank you!

Suitable lodging I would choose again
I would choose this hotel again. It is within walking distance too many of the tourist sites. The room was clean and the housekeeper made sure to provide service. Breakfast was served every morning between 8 and 10 and was ample and feeling, although the variety was the same everyday. The biggest con was the shower was too small and a large person would not be able to get in the shower. The staff was hospitable and gave good service. The only person that could not speak English was the night staff. All in all the hotel was marvelous and the hotel manager was very helpful, polite, and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone.

Perfect location
For Istanbul sightseeing the location is fantastic. It is a very basic hotel, but if your purpose is sightseeing then it is great. There is no elevator but we had a top floor room with a view that was worth the climb. The desk clerk was very happy to help with our bags. The breakfast buffet is very nice with wonderful fresh tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce as well as boiled eggs, bread, cheese, etc. There are lots of good cafes in the neighbourhood and a nice grocery store. Transportation from the airport via the metro requires 1 transfer and lets you off within a block and a half of the hotel.

Perfect budget friendly location!
I stayed two nights, in a single room. It was super tiny, but was all I needed. After all, I didn't go to Istanbul to stay in the hotel room. It was the absolute best location of any hotel I've been to and a good price. Nothing fancy, but wifi and full breakfast included.

Great service, location, and homemade food
My mother, husband, and I stayed at Anadolu for a total of 4 nights, and we absolutely loved how centrally located the hotel was to all major attractions. Despite the location, the rooms were pretty quiet. The young men at the front desk were helpful and the man and wife, who we called Papa and Mama were so sweet to us. We had Mama's homemade manti dumplings and cabbage rolls and they were amazing. My husband and I travel a lot, and we thought this was one of the most hospitable places we've ever stayed at, which is a big part of the Turkish experience. I would highly recommend it for couples and families!

I will not return to the Anadolu Hotel:
Not easy to find; a map would help as would making the hotel's sign more visible. This is clearly a low-cost hotel, and it comes with most of the usual negatives. The staff try to be friendly and helpful but are weak on followup. (More on this later.) The building is a walkup, no elevator. The stairs are a death-trap: steep, spiral, too narrow for half their width, and almost-functional railings on one side only. The rooms are tiny, mine a double with almost no storage space. There was a cabinet with room for the extra blanket, a couple of hangers, and a small shelf that would hold a few day's underwear. The cabinet, however, had a strong tendency to tip over onto the bed. I had to catch it several times. The bathroom was another death-trap: floor and shower were both slippery as ice, and nothing to hold onto. The room service was awful: bed not made when I moved in, then no room service at all except forone of five day. The complimentary breakfast was unremarkable. The last straw: I had asked the desk clerk about going to Izmir, by ferry and train on the day I checked out. He promised to make all the arrangements and confirmed when I checked with him later. I woke in the middle of the last night, realizing that the ferry leaves at 7 AM and I needed to get to the ferry terminal. I dragged myself out of bed at 5 and made all of the arrangements myself. Evidently he forgot!

Could Have Been Better
The hotel location was good, and our room was spacious. There were several broken items in the room, however, and we had problems with both the power and the water while we were there. There is a very nice terrace with a good view, although we stayed three days and no one made up our room or provided fresh towels. The front desk staff didn't speak much English and it was difficult to get assistance with directions.
