The May hotel is very clean, nearby all historic highlights. Very friendly staff. The rooms are small, but you only sleep there, so it is ok. We have visited the city for 5 days with our family, too short to see everything. We will shure come back.

We stayed four nıghts ın that cosy place. Very clean rooms, fantastıc breakfast and very frıendly staff (e.g. Mesut from the nıght shıft). We can recommend thıs place. The area where the hotel ıs located ıs the ıdeal startıng poınt for sıghtseeıng or nıght lıfe actıvıtıes.

The rooms are small but serviceable although the shower is small even for the smallest person. We had visited Istanbul before so this visit we went... More

The Hotel is located in the Shoe and Purse making district and you can get a glimpse of the manufacturing of shoe and purses: from watching the bundles of goods going up and down the narrow streets on hand...

Having read all the reviews I was very pleasantly surprised at the value for money that this Hotel provided. Firstly, the Hotel is at the bottom of a steepish hill but I am wondering what kind of "out of condition" guests have stayed here! I am 64 and my husband is 79 years old and we had NO problem walking... More

Stayed at this hotel from the 25th Feb to 1st March 2013 on our short trip to Istanbul. The hotel is ideally located.... 10 min walk to the Grand Bazzaar, 15 mins walk to The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and 20 Mins to the Topkapi Palace. The hotel itself is situated on a busy street and is easy to... More

Stayed here 11th-17th Feb 2013. 2 single girls aged 25. Rooms are small but not overly considering the little time you spend in there. Room was spotlessly clean and cleaners were very quick and didn't disturb you. Breakfast was a buffet of traditional Turkish breakfast and was always fresh and appetizing. Free WiFi in all rooms and in breakfast room... More

Whether or not a hotel is good often depends on what you're looking for. This hotel is great if you're looking to stay near the Old City but want to avoid premium prices. It's not so great if you're a light sleeper and plan to spend time relaxing in the hotel as well as being out & about. The street... More
