Burak Apart

Amazing, clean, comfortable place, spacious, clean, and close to dining, attractions in the area.

Location is good and all important landmarks are at walking distance. Property is clean from inside but beddings could be improved. No reception onsite is a big hurdle for guests like us, vising particularly for the first time. Language barrier as manger can't speak english and response from him has been poor. The rooms are not at ground level and invilve stairs. There is no lift, so shifting luggage is a problem.

The room was very cute, clean and we enjoyed staying there.

Extraordinary landlord, thank you! Free upgrade, always supportive.

This review is based on value - and for the price we were delighted with our stay. The room and en-suite were clean, the shower was great, the aircon cold, and the WiFi connection fast. It is within walking distance from the big tourist draws but far enough away that you do not feel swamped with people the minute you step out the door. We were on room 2 on the ground floor, and while yes there was some noise, honestly it didn’t affect our stay. There was something quite nice about hearing the tip tap of hammers through the night from people making shoes across the street. If you do stay here try and eat at least once at the Arch Bistro just down the road. A wee bit more expensive than other restaurants but a nice treat.

Arrived at this property at 5am, they said they are moving us to another place. Walked in dark 10 minutes a run down area. Poor customer service, shady behavior. Unable to contact ******* from Turkey as customer service number is not available. I had to call ******* after arriving in US.

It was very basic, there is no point saying otherwise. It was a small, basically furnished room with a shower room attached. However, it was clean, everything worked and the fella in charge couldn’t do enough for the guests. The single biggest plus was the location, it was outstanding. The were plenty of shops and places to eat right on the doorstep. Crucially, both tourists and locals ate in the restaurants. The food was very good value and of a consistent high standard. The locals were incredibly friendly and the whole place seemed very safe. The main tourist sights around the Ayasofia were about 10 minutes stroll. If you’re on a budget, you couldn’t do better.
