Sultan Apartments

Мы попали в этот отель и оплатили номер через *******. Однако по прибытии администрация перевела нас на кухню/кладовую, где мы могли остановиться. Он сказал, что это будет только на одну ночь. Мы поняли и сказали ок. В итоге мы остановились в чулане/кладовом/кухне на 3 ночи. Хозяин не хотел давать нам комнату. Худший опыт в моей жизни. Вы платите за номер и в конечном итоге спите там, на складе. Ужасный и ужасный опыт. Не стоит ни доллара за ночь в этом месте.

Really dodgy building. Doesn’t feel safe at all. Apartment was not clean and was very very old.

The location is really excellent, at walking distance from the main attractions of Old Istanbul and also from tramway and bus stations to go everywhere. Just beside the door there are small restaurants and a minimarket at the corner with high-quality cheese, fruits, bread, eggs, milk, etc.. The fashion shop at the door is nice and the lady is very kind. All the area is plenty of restaurants and shops. The apartment was comfortable and in good conditions. The staff person who welcomed us was extremely kind and available. He booked also a taxi for us, which was perfectly in time and very kind, too. However, the warm welcome cannot compensate the deficiencies. Although the kitchenette is large and has a couple of (never-cleaned) electric plates, the cooking facilities are not really available: apart from few crockery (no soup bowls), kettles and a little saucepan with old crusts inside, there are no pots/pans.The only tools are a cooking knife and a spatula, unuseful without cutting board/pans. Basic tools like a colander or a bottle/can opener are missing. The cutlery consists of two knifes and three coffee spoons. The washing machine works well, the fridge takes a long time to reach an acceptable temperature. A small table with a lamp at the bed head would be greatly appreciated. Towels and sheets were changed once (good), but the general cleanliness should be improved (i.e. the floor). The shower is large and very confortable, even if the door does not close well.
