Disappointing Experience – Do Not Recommend
I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The room was in terrible condition — dirty, neglected, and nothing like the photos. The bedding, which should have been white, was a worn-out yellow, and the curtains were ripped. The entire room felt more like a prison cell than a place to relax. I left immediately and chose not to stay even one night.
Unfortunately, because I booked through Expedia as a non-refundable reservation, I wasn’t able to get a refund — but I would strongly advise others to stay away from this hotel. It was not worth the money or the stress.
Construction were happening around the hotel site. Hotel is excellent condition, no noise issues in the evening, but surrounding was not pretty to look at. Overall good for crashing for the night, and head out. Great value due to excellent breakfast. Very helpful staff.
Pictures are 20 years out of date. This was a dirty, not well maintained hotel with NO AIR CON IN 30C+temps. Avoid at all costs. I was completely mislead by pics and other “reviews”
Friendly helpful staff. Lovely roof terrace with view of the sea of Mamara. We went there to eat our great hotel breakfast 5-6 cute cats run around. Very close to Sultanamet hippodrome and the Blue Mosque. Quiet at night, so overall a great place to stay. Can highly recommend.
Not usually someone who write reviews, but Rumours deserves it! Great location for Sultanahmet sights, nice spacious room (we had a triple), fantastic Turkish breakfast, and staff that went above and beyond to help when my bag was late arriving after it was left behind by my airline. Would whole-heartedly recommend! I do a lot of research when booking accommodations so I hope this can help others coming to Istanbul!
This is hotel in Old Town, the building is old with lot of stairs, not recommended for people with mobility issues
The staff is very helpful they will take your luggage up and down
Breakfast very good
Walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar
Rated as 2** you get very basic accommodation

If you have limited time in Istanbul and need a clean, friendly place to stay choose this hotel. Rooms are clean, staff if helpful, super safe, close to all the sights & has an amazing terrace!
Absolutely loved this hotel. Lovely room- we had a standard double. Clean, great breaiabd friendly staff. No negative points at all. Very near all the attractions and reasonably priced restaurants on the doorstep. We particularly liked the Pasta and pizza place-Ozi's. Lovely root top terrace to relax on too.
