The staff was super helpful and friendly throughout the short stay. They were able to reserve a taxi for us for an early flight, which made a travel day less stressful. The place was in a great location, easily walkable from major tourist sites such as the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar, but also in a quiet area. For our short stay, it was easy to checkin and a comfortable room for two of us. Would recommend for others.
Good clean room. Everything you need for a budget few days away in Istanbul. Staff were excellent. Would stay again . Hopefully for the Europa League final in May 😉
Room and property is super clean and in very good condition. Everything works perfectly. Staff is the nicest people you can hope to meet, and pampered me with coffee and turkish delight. Location is outstanding if you like Sultanahmet.
Good and clean. Staff are very friendly and helpfull. Walking distance to good places. Abdullah and Sergey was great. Other staff was also nice. With the price service was great. Recommended.
It was a last-minute booking due to some travel drama but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the rooms. It was like staying in a luxury hotel. I didn't need any amenities so didn't ask for anything extra. The area is quite central and close to Hagia Sophia.
Nice stay, great location for all the major sights in Istanbul, all within walking distance. Hotel not very pretty from the outside but on the inside it’s clean and functional.
The location is amazing right next to the Blue Mosque, I had an amazing stay at Efzen! The staff is the most awesome people ever, very helpful even made me coffee every morning. I can’t thank the staff enough really genuine I was sad to leave they make you feel like family❤️🦄. I was solo travelling it is beyond safe in a fantastic location overlooking the sea and a palace being restored built in the age of Constantine about 1500 years ago. History right in front of you. I really want to personally thank the staff just out of this world amazing. This spot is all about the location u can’t find a better place tucked away so it’s nice and quiet but a 2 min to the heart of beautiful Istanbul. You can walk everywhere from this location lots of restaurants shops everything u need is within a few minutes of walking and the BEAUTIFUL BLUE MOSQUE is just steps away and u can see it all lit up at night from the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone, affordable, great location and the most amazing staff ever! On a personal note I am solo female travelling and safety is always a concern, this place is so safe the area is incredibly safe and I would highly recommend this hotel and location to all but as a solo traveller there is no place better to stay.
The day staff person was so welcoming and helpful! He immediately went over our itinerary and helped us make it more efficient and fun for all of us. He had great restaurant and street food recommendations that we didn’t get from the travel books and got us some great food and atmosphere!
The lower level room had an issue where several of the bedside lights wouldn’t turn off overnight, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.
J’ai adoré mon séjour dans cet hôtel ❤️. La chambre nettoyé tous les jours, le personnel est aux petits soins, toujours là pour aider. Cet hôtel est bien situé pas loin des commerces, la mer et des zones touristiques. Franchement ça a été magnifique

Creo que en términos generales está ok, precio calidad. Si te quieres hospedar cerca de cosas turísticas es muy buena opción. El personal es súper amable siempre dispuesto a ayudarte. Limpieza implacable siempre y cuando la solicites.
