The hotel is more like a friendly Bed & Breakfast. Very pleasant and staff always ready to help. I had some unique and unexpected issues and they went out of their way to help me resolve them. Breakfast is freshly made and fruit was exceptional. All you can eat if you want a full stomach to start the day. Rooms include a refrigerator and the hotel's location is only 4 blocks from the Tram which takes you to the OLD CITY and you can continue on public transportation to TAXIM Square and even to the airport. The neighborhood is safe and the commercial stores/restaurants are vibrant and inexpensive. Taxi to airport is reasonably priced and reservations can be made by hotel staff. A police station is only a few blocks away. What more can you ask for at such a moderate price?

There was some construction that was noisy on first floor but not at the upper floors. I assume that the work will soon be completed. The internet went down but not the fault of the hotel as the entire neighborhood was without internet service.

The hotel is located in Faith district next to the Grand Bazaar. it is around 20-30 min walk to main sights Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque). Despite that the first impression on location is worrisome (not very clean,very busy and chaotic) - it is a very safe area. the building is historical and has a character. It is a bit shabby though. Every room is done in different style bringing you back to late Ottoman era. It is very clean and neat inside. Personal is very nice,helpful and friendly. They have a great breakfast options and one of the best Turkish coffee.)

We had taken two rooms. Both of them were amazing,but in one of them there was a feeling of a bit illogical placing of the furniture (may be it needs to be thought upon a bit). In another room there was no proper full-height wardrobe (but this is more like a slight inconvenience). Also guests should be prepared to walk uphill to get to the main sights and there is no lift in the hotel,so may be it wouldn’t be the best place for people with disabilities (personally it wasn’t a negative point to us,but it would be nice to know for others).

I selected this hotel as it is in the heart of the old city of Istanbul. We mingled with the people and got to know true Turkish hospitality. I could have chosen a european style more modern hotel but wanted this hotel as soon as I saw the photos especially the underground breakfast area. In my view, this is an an authentic and charming little hotel that makes you feel like you stepped back in time and space. If you love ancient and authentic structures, then this might be the one for you. Situated in a busy street, you get to see the real people of Istanbul in their everyday life. The breakfast area is an antique underground space that I find so unique! I think it is at least 300 years old if not more! As for the breakfast we got to enjoy an amazing selection every morning starting at 8 am. We came from the United States and have been in other hotels but have not seen this kind of selection of the daily breakfast including veggies and sweets. The staff is very helpful and friendly. As for the location of the hotel, being in the centre of the old city so close to all the attractions was worth it. We got the istanbul card and found the transportation to be easy. The staff even booked for us a bosphorus trip that we enjoyed. At the end we extended our stay by a few days. I do recommend this little gem that is charming and authentic. You will go home with sweet memories.

For me, there wasn’t a thing that I did not like. You don’t find helpful and friendly staff like the staff of Gedikpasa Konagi Hotel in other countries. I wish I could come more often!

Location is very good, close to metro in the old part of Istanbul.Muro is a great host, he help us with all information about the city, tours and airport shutle and all staff are really nice and friendly.The room and bathroom is not big but value with breakfast its good.

I stayed at this hotel three times in my month in Istanbul. The hotel is comfortable, homey and a good value for the price you pay. The heater works extremely well, which is such a blessing in winter. The owner is very nice, as is the rest of the staff there. The hotel offers Covid testing for only 15 Euros using a service that actually does the test inside the hotel lobby. I got my printed results within an hour or so. Pretty incredible, and very convenient when preparing for travel. Wifi is the most reliable that I have had during my month in Istanbul. The area around the hotel is safe and has convenience stores, a liquor store, a fruit seller and restaurants, all within a few blocks of the the hotel. Good for solo female travelers.

It's not a problem for me, but the street the hotel is located on is on a bit of a hill, if you have luggage, just take it slow, it's fine. If you come from the tram, it's downhill from there to the hotel. During a brief, snowy period, I actually had a man take my hand, grab my luggage and help me up to the hotel! That's Turkish hospitality! So sweet!

The hotel is a nice, budget option in the Old Section of Istanbul. The wifi works great, the water is hot and the beds are comfy. I extended my stay here and stayed quite a few days. The staff is friendly and even though I was here during a snowy and rainy period, my room was warm, due to the awesome heater. The hotel is only a few blocks from the Beyazit tram stop. If you get off of the tram, walk downhill towards the Sea of Marmara for about 7-8 blocks and you are there. If you come by taxi from the seaside, the bottom of the street is blocked off to car traffic, but cars can cut over a block or so and then head back over to the street the hotel is on. It's a steep hill going up, but I managed it with a backpack and a rolling suitcase. It's not that far, only about 4 blocks, maybe.

Everything was fine.

the location was amazing! with the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and a bunch of restaurants within walking distance it makes for an ideal spot. The staff were extremely friendly and gave great advice for places to go and things to do.

The incline of the road it is on was a little steep but not too bad for myself nor something I would discount the hotel on.

The pepole in recaption were too friendly and helping in any question. Breakfast was so good. The sea view is so nice.

Nothing

Location is great! There is a cheap parking just 3 minutes away from the hotel!

It was a bit noisy, nose coming not from the streets but from the other rooms, maybe the walls are too thin. But this was not a big problem!

Very nice hotel with big light rooms. Management is professional and friendly. Special thanks for Muro! He helped us did not miss our flight. Five star place!
