The property was at an excellent location as close to most amenities and very near a lot of the historical attractions. Staff were lovely and helpful and hotel room was daily cleaned. Fresh towels were provided daily and staff were happy to assist with anything that you needed. However the hotel is on a busy street with the hustle bustle of trading restaurants and tourist entertainment. Therefore if you are a light sleeper then the hotels location is not suitable for you as the music from neighbouring restaurants etc would go on past midnight most days.

Great location

The hotel is very well located, extremely close to Sultanahmet square, in a very touristic district. Rooms and breakfast are ok. Wifi is sometimes difficult to get.

Terrible

Didn’t feel comfortable,simply because I couldn’t sleep the first night. Kept scratching all night....the bed wasn’t clean!. Had to cut my stay short and leave the place after terrible night,though I paid for two!. I don’t recommend it,even for cheap price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel is located in a good location not too far from the blue mosque 2 minutes away on foot and not too far from the grand bazaar (around 20 minutes walk). The staff were very nice and helpful and the facilities were always clean, but it’s not too great for immobile people as they don’t have a elevator. I recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Istanbul. If you are travelling in the morning I advise you to book their taxi as the price of the normal taxis are unpredictable and they go up due to the traffic. I am very greatfull for your hospitality I won’t hesitate to book here again. See you next holiday.

Prime location in Istanbul

Clean and comfortable hotel.We had a pleasant stay in this cosy small hotel.All amenties were adequate with the bonus of being so central to Blue Mosque,Aya Sofia and the tram.Breakfast was typically turkish with cheeses,cold meat,olives,eggs,cakes and cereal.Something for everyone,however people with mobility problems will not find hotel suitable due to no lifts.I would not hestiate to recommend this hotel if you are on a budget.Another plus point it has mini fridge to store drinks.

The Star Hotel Istanbul gives what it promises. It is well situated (within easy walking distance of Hagia Sophia, the Egyptian market and much more), clean, comfortable and very affordable. The little fridge in the room allows guests to ensure cold water and beer at all times. Although the room does not offer a kettle and tea or coffee an abundance of restaurants around the hotel has excellent tea and coffee. Breakfast on the roof is ample and offers a lovely view of the environment. Staff went out of their way to assist us with all our queries. The manager even made sure that apple tea would be provided when I mentioned that I really enjoy Turkish apple tea. As the hotel has no elevator, make sure to mention if you have difficulties with stairs.
