Emir Hotel

very good location (5 min walk to Sultan Ahmet), beautiful view from the third floor. They clean the room almost everyday. There is no washing machine in the hotel, Wi-Fi  was good enough, the Staff was friendly and helpful. The building is very old and not insulated at all, so it will be very cold and very warm easily, i did not expect this cold weather in Istanbul in may, the room at the third floor was very cold at night, the heating radiator was not working -maybe because we are in May- the air conditiong was good enough to heat the room, but i do not recommend to turn it on. Most of the days there were no hot water to shower, you have to ask for it at the office and they will take care of it and you will have a cosy littel shower up there.
Tschüss

Had a very horrible experience here, I wouldn’t recommend. Everything was falling off and broken, dirty, showed head stayed in my hands along as towel holder etc. The guy at the front desk was extremely rude, expect the night shift person who was very kind (the only positive point in the whole experience! I came to the manager saying I would like to get another hotel and pay for half of the day only since it was around 3hrs past check out time. The guy got very mad and agressive asking me to pay full price. I told him it’s ok, I’ll stay for the night and leave tomorrow morning. I told him calmly that I don’t appreciate it’s way of communication and made some comments about the room. He got very upset and yelled at me to leave immediately or he will call the police on me. I packed my bags and escaped as soon as possible. Worst place.

The location is quite good, but the staff is terrible as well. Living here on the third floor in the summer, which is the last floor here, feels like hell. The air conditioning is trying its best to cool off the room, but it is not enough at all. Would not recommend to live here in the summer on the last floor.
