The hotel is located in the very historic center of the city, 5-7 min walk to the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores to choose from nearby. The area feels safe even late at night. Breakfast is included and decent. The staff was very friendly and responsive, extra thanks Rulf for the hospitality during both check-in and check-out and throughout the stay.

Bedding, towels and the room itself were weathered and not as clean as one might want, we've got a replacement after asking the stuff though and it got better. Not necessary about the hotel but consider that Fatih area can be very noisy even at night.

Excellent location - near the very heart of the city, while away from the bustle. The breakfast was really good, and the staff very helpful (if they could understand what you want). Lots of restaurants and small shops nearby. Aircon can be left on while out of the room - really great in summer heat.

The room really needed some facelifting. There were papers in the trash bin when we checked in. The extra services are overpriced: airport taxi is much cheaper if booked at booking.com, and the sim card is twice cheaper in the city.

From the moment I arrived at the Acacia Mansion Hotel to the moment I departed, I felt very welcomed and safe. The rooms were charming, inviting, and comfortable and jet lag wasn't an issue after the first good night sleep in their very  comfortable bed. Water pressure was also good and enjoyed hot showers. Rauf, who manages the front reception was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the best places to visit in Turkey (and interesting facts in general) including interesting historical sites that they don't advertise in the tourist books. Acacia Mansion is very lucky (and smart!) to have Rauf be the face of their hotel. I believe he speaks 5 or 6 languages with excellent English. I seeked him out for advice throughout my trip and he was always so welcoming. Argesh is the very friendly evening reception and was also very kind and accommodating when I asked for assistance. I am mostly a morning person so mainly interacted with Rauf. Seher, their head of housekeeping, takes her job very seriously and not sure you will find a cleaner hotel in all of Turkey!  She left my room impeccibely clean and was always so sweet and helpful when I asked for extra toiletries. The Turkish breakfast is served from 8:00 am until 10:30 every morning with a good selection of turkish breakfast dishes. I especially loved their selection of olives, fruit,  cheeses, and baguettes. The very friendly and adorable Saroof was another gem in this charming boutique hotel and he looked over the breakfast buffet and guests, who has a very good command of the English language. He even made me a dellightful cup of turkish coffee when I inquired where I could get one, which I very much appreciated!  His smile lights up a room and has excellent customer service skills. I departed feeling refreshed and well taken care of. The location is great and a short distance from many of the historic sites. I even made friends with an adorable tortie neighborhood cat before I left!

Its hard to think of anything I didn't like! It would have been nice to have some different breakfast dishes as I noticed a lot of the same dishes each morning. However I left feeling satisfied each morning and there are many other restaurants nearby to visit if you want a variety or something different.

The hotel is very well located in the historical center (Fatih) of Istanbul, Many main sight seeing point can be reached easily by foot. The rooms are comfy and nicely decorated. The staff is super nice and helpful, thanks to Yusuf for the nice welcoming and special thanks to Shukur who gave us very good tips and tricks for our stay.

The walls of the building are quite thin so it can be a bit loud in the morning because of the traffic and honking.

Despite the airline losing my suitcases, I had a very warm welcome at Acacia Mansion hotel - was offered tea / coffee when I checked in. The staff were very friendly and helpful in assisting me during my search for my luggage, calling the airline frequently to request updates. I was also placed in a lovely room at the top of the hotel, with beautiful stained glass and a balcony - a nice and unexpected upgrade! I received lots of help from Ebru and the new guy that just started (cant remember his name!). Thanks for a great 2 days in Istanbul!

Calling this place a hotel is an exaggeration. Rather a small high standard motel. On the plus side: the location, clean, daily cleaned rooms, 24-hour reception, good breakfast - you can order something hot.

Photos of rooms differ from reality, but photo retouching is probably a standard practice in Istanbul accommodation. The area seems calm and quiet, but from the morning the locals take a shortcut through the streets near the hotel and you can hear it in the rooms. The rooms are also poorly soundproofed and you can hear your neighbors.

The guys from reception Rauf and Argesh were nice and helpful all the time by guiding us regarding city highlights. Location of the hotel was very good you could walk 5 min to Hagia Sophia and to closest Tram station and many other restaurants, shops, Bazaar and even a nice Park.

Inside the room was very very warm and there was nothing you can do about it. There was no king size bed just 2 beds together with a king size lingerie. You could hear everything from the rooms next to you. Towels were always stained and the water pressure in the shower was low.

We are very satisfied with our stay. First, location is great. Some people wrote here that there is a noise from the street, but I got the room facing to the backyard, and it was very quiet. My friends who stayed with windows to the street also said that with the windows closed there is no noise from the street. The soundproofing is great and there was no noise from the corridor as well. In addition to the room - it was perfectly clean and they made daily cleaning. The rooms are equipped with a cattle plus coffee and tee, fen and a small fridge (minibar goes for the additional price, but there is a small shop right next to the reception). Breakfast was delicious every day. Hot and cold buffet with wide verity of cheeses, vegetables, ham. Nice coffee and local sweets as well. They also run a restaurant for lunch and dinner there with good tasty food. Last but not least is the great and helpful staff. Receptionist Raug with a very professional attitude helped us with all our requests. We really appreciate it and would go with 11/10 points for staff :). His colleague at the breakfast was also very nice and smiling.

Everything was great and we would love to stay in this hotel once again.

This is a no-frills, budget-friendly guesthouse located at the bottom of a hill in the Sultanahmet area. What makes this place stand out is the exceptional staff. Shukur went out of his way to prepare for me a lovely early morning meal for Sehri as I was fasting. Areesh carefully stored my luggage after checkout as I had a late flight. Lovely stay, would recommend for single travelers and those wanting to stay near the tourist area. Most historical sites are a short walking distance away.

Just be aware that there are no elevators and you will have to take your luggage via a flight of stairs. I suggest taking a taxi to the hotel.

They gave us a special triple room with a balcony and a view (while we had booked a double room) which was really nice. The treatment of the staff and cleanliness was excellent. The environment of the room was very beautiful, traditional and wooden, and the local access was very convenient. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay at this hotel. Special thanks to Rauf and Argesh. They were very helpful and hospitable.

The only complaint that could be made was that the windows was not sound-proofed and the noise from the outside environment was disturbing during rest.
