The Wi-Fi signal was poor and disconnected often. ##### Ziaul Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leo Jul 24, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Badly hotel to stay in ! ##### Leo Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Raluca Mar 31, 2023 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Pros: clean at check in, quiet, close to our points of interest. Cons: toilet dripping, poor housekeeping, limited space, no self catering options, a few power cuts during our stay, only 1 towel per person provided. ##### Raluca Stayed 21 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Faiza Sep 13, 2024 Very close from blue mosque. The rooms are small in picture looks big and mattress was also uncomfortable. Otherwise ok. ##### Faiza Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Per Mar 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not bad for the price paid. Not bad. For the very cheap price paid, it offered a nice accommodation close to some nice sights and the Gran Bazaar. Shared areas (stairs, etc) not so well kept as many things lying around, bags with concrete etc. Quite hard beds. ##### Per Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### FATIH Feb 15, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms are filthy, I definitely do not recommend it ##### FATIH ### 4/10 Poor #### jane Oct 31, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room not like picture. Balcony door inoperable. Exhausting five flight climb to room. Trash, toile paper not replaced regularly Generally very shabby appearance ##### jane Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### IRMA Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness Bien solo que la gabitscion era minuscula y tuve que pagar ls diferencia ##### IRMA Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Abdullah Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ortalamanin uzeri diyebilirim, hersey için teşekkürler. ##### Abdullah Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vincenzo Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities L'albergo è ben piazzato nella zona di Sultanahmet, è molto vicino alla Moschea Blu, al Topkapi ed altre attrazioni e vicino passa la linea del tram T1. Il tutto non sarebbe stato male se la pulizia non fosse stato totalmente insufficiente, soprattutto nella stanza economy, in cui c'erano macchie di ogni sorta, ovunque ed in cui non entrava uno sputo di luce naturale ed in cui mancava acqua calda. Ad ogni modo, dopo le nostre rimostranze siamo riusciti a farci cambiare stanza, dove la situazione era decisamente migliore. ##### Vincenzo Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Shemsedin May 5, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Schr3cklich !!! Heruntergekommene Unterkunft. Tücher und Bettlaken sehr sehr abgenutzt mit Flecken und leider gar nicht was auf den Fotos. ##### Shemsedin Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shubir Kumar Apr 15, 2025 Disliked: Amenities It was good. ##### Shubir Kumar Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Thair Mar 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Description of the property wax false. It is a separate bungalow next to the main building accessible from the street. Unsafe area, anyone could have entered from the street. My family were very upset and we had to leave immediately. The property would not return the payment even though we didn't stay at the property. Expedia service was terrible as they would return my payment. My advice never go to this property. Also I will not use Expedia again. 😤 ##### Thair Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roger Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Helt greit Grei betjening. Greit opphold. Strømmen gikk et par ganger. Rimelig og helt greit, om du tåler katter og lavere standard. Jeg er fornøyd. ##### Roger Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tucked away down a cobbled street, this hotel is perfectly located for the old city centre of Istanbul, making everywhere walkable. We were greeted by an incredibly helpful member of staff (sorry, we never got his name, but he had a lovely smile!) who advised us on local eateries and sorted us with a Turkish sim card. Only complaint is the air conditioning wasn't great so the rooms were especially hot at night. ##### Kate Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nimemm Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Höfliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Für paar Tage zum übernachten optimal. Man darf nicht viel erwarten. Zur Sultan Ahmet Moschee wirklich nur paar Gehminuten. ##### Nimemm Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Islam Jul 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice but no windows no aeration ##### Islam Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### adem Mar 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Zanuda berbat bir yer ÇOOOOK KİRLİ Konaklamacak otelde ilk başta girişte berbat bir resepsiyon karşılaması ve odalar çok boğucu çarşaflar çok aşırı derecede kirli yani geldiğimize bin pişman olduk siteye de çağrıda bulunuyorum böyle iğrenç otelleri lütfen bunyenizde bulundurmayın ##### adem Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Normasitah Mar 3, 2024 Liked: Amenities I like it. Staff are great!😊 ##### Normasitah Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Artem Mar 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place for a simple stay Zanadu hotel is located in a nice area, with a metro station not so far away and fancy streets all around. Great solution for solo travelers with not-so-great budget or not-so-big expectations who just need a place to rest, get a wi-fi and leave their luggage at. I stayed in a’no window’ room, the cheapest one, which some travelers might find pretty narrow, but I for me it was just fine. Friendly staff, fast check-in, cute little garden by the entrance… Dunno what else to say. Luxury-lovers might find this place too simple, but that’s exactly what I needed at the moment. ##### Artem Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### GUENARD Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It a very good location. Just, be carefull if you book a room eco... there isn't window !!! ##### GUENARD Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FATIMA-ZAHRA Feb 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good and nice people ##### FATIMA-ZAHRA Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### D Jan 13, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities False advertisement on rooms. Pictures did not accurately depict actual rooms. Booked a delux room with a seaview, got a small room with a view of rooftops. Shower leaked constantly so water was all over the floor, mildew in shower, stains on the walls. Told the front desk about the leak. He didn't want to be bothered with anything. Booked it for a week, stayed for 3 nights. Manager would not allow refund. This was a very disappointing experience! ##### D Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crowne Plaza Istanbul - Old City by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Istanbul-Old-City.h2211742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marmara Pera](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Marmara-Pera.h11691.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Istanbul Sisli](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h6250043.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel President Old Town Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-President-Beyazit-Istanbul.h9345.Hotel-Information) > > [Elite World Grand Istanbul Kucukyali](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Elite-World-Asia-Hotel.h26886285.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h42641512.Hotel-Information) > > [CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-CVK-Park-Bosphorus-Hotel-Istanbul.h6055713.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Istanbul.h14428.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marmara Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Marmara-Taksim.h26048.Hotel-Information) > > [Elite World Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Elite-World-Istanbul-Taksim.h1181264.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-The-Bosphorus.h1856092.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Barcelo-Istanbul.h32516024.Hotel-Information) > > [Divan Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Divan-Istanbul.h4601.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Quasar Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Fairmont-Quasar-Istanbul.h16385021.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bomonti-Hotel-Conference-Center.h6226720.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h20867.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Istanbul City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sheraton-Istanbul-City-Center.h38329865.Hotel-Information) > > [Pera Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Pera-Palace-Hotel.h20555.Hotel-Information) > > [Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Istanbul-Marriott-Hotel-Sisli.h6771400.Hotel-Information) > > [Romance Istanbul Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Romance-Istanbul-Hotel.h527413.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Istanbul by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-InterContinental-Istanbul.h521137.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h565576.Hotel-Information) > > [Dorne Suite Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Dorne-Suite-Taksim.h38494876.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Cevahir Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Cevahir-Hotel-Convention-Center.h972529.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Istanbul-Kalamis-Marina-Hotel.h5484206.Hotel-Information) > > [Niles Hotel Istanbul - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Niles-Hotel-Istanbul-Special-Class.h1583001.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sofitel-Istanbul-Taksim.h42400472.Hotel-Information) > > [Doubletree By Hilton Istanbul Old Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Istanbul-Old-Town.h3758303.Hotel-Information)
