Positive: if I could give a 7 star, I would for the staff. They were just genuinely pleasant and helpful. There's a lift so no need to lug your suitcase. You walk out of the hotel and the tram #1 is right there if you need public transport. We only used it a couple of times though e.g. to get to Dolmabachi Palace as you are only 5-10min walk away from all the major sights. Staff also upgraded us to a better suite free of charge: the living room was on a very lively street but the bedroom was in the back - quiet and peaceful:). I would definitely stay here again. Negative: I screwed up our booking on Expedia and I could not get a refund for the first two nights. I contacted the hotel and they said they could not do anything. The Expedia listing did say non-refundable rooms but I was hoping the hotel would be able to refund at least some of the money.

It is close to the old town and the nearest tram station, also a lot of restaurants and shops nearby. However, didn't think the hotel was suitable for family stay especially if travel with elderly, because the room was small (i booked a family suite, but still), and also the stairs were quite narrow for moving the luggages up and down. Furthermore, we can't drop off at the entrance of the hotel because it is in the middle of traffic, and we can only drop off at the spot with carpark which was around 3 mins walk while carrying our luggages. Although another plus point was the staffs were very helpful and friendly, also was able to help with our requests during our stay in there.

Even though it was a small hotel, I couldn't find any fault w in fact I went to the hotel from an Van in Türkiye . And the room I stayed in at the Old Port Hotel was certainly on a part with the one I had in the Hilton. Top marks to the old port hotel Istanbul. Top marks to the Old Port of hotel in Istanbul W. Howard.

We liked our sea-view suite on the 6th floor which has two long writing desks, one in the living room and the other in the bedroom. There is a door between the living room and the bedroom, allowing my husband and I two separate work spaces. The kitchenette with microwave oven came in handy too. There was only one pot and one pan. We also had to borrow the cutting board and cooking knife from the kitchen. But the kitchen served our simple cooking needs. The service of David, Ibrahim and all other staff was excellent. Everyone was so helpful, friendly and polite. The only negative is that cabs cannot stop in front of the hotel as the street is mainly for trams. Even the sidewalk is narrow. But the hotel staff would help take bags to the taxi stand near the Sirkeci train station just one minute away on foot. The location is good for taking public transport and exploring the Sultanahmet area. Traffic noise and the regular calls for prayers could be a problem for some. We were fine with it. Overall we were happy with the stay.

Awesome! Thank you all so much for your kindness, support and hospitality.

The location was great just a min walk to the tram station and about 5 mins walking distance to the ferries station and also to the main bus depot. Blue mosque and Hagia sophia are also within 10 mins walking distance. Many restaurants and bars around which are also open 24 hrs. Friendly staff and great service and we got a sea view room so overall a great stay. Just the only downside was the wifi was really slow in our rooms as we were on the 5th floor.

Great hotel right in the "thick of it". Rooms are small but neat and well put together and comfortable. Above everything, seeing the guys at reception every day was a blessing -- they were super attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful about Istanbul. Be aware it's RIGHT in the happening part of Sultanahmet so there's a loud street below which we could still hear at night from the 6th floor, ie when a siren went off. Not an issue for us but something to know. Overall we were very satisfied and would highly recommend!

Nice hotel

Excellent

The hotel was fab in all respects; location, rooms sizes and condition. Staff were always at hand and very helpful. Cihan and Ibrahim are a credit to themselves and the establishment, wonderful people.
