Martinenz Hotel

We were accommodated in a room without windows, it was a shock. Thankfully our tour guide made them change it and the next room was spacey and with large windows with a spectacular view. So, if you plan to stay there, mention the windows.

I stayed at this hotel on January 2022.
I rate its location with 4 stars for the neighborhood, but 1 star for the exact location facing the tramway tracks. The neighborhood is great and is the heart of old Istanbul. Everything is within easy reach either walking or riding the tramway. There are a lot of shopping/dinning options in this neighborhood, and transportation is available to different places of Istanbul via the tramway, metro, or buses. However, the hotel is facing the track of the tramway and the noise from the passing trains is intense, these trains operate from 6 am to midnight, so be prepared for the disturbance during your sleep.
The hotel has no direct access to the street. The lobby is one level higher than the street, and there is a flight of stairs that must be taken to reach the lobby. If you have heavy luggage, good luck carrying them up and down.
My room was for 2 persons with queen bed. There is one closet for clothes, one night stand, and on table. All of these furniture take 95% of the room's area, leaving so little for walking or placing your luggage. The bathroom is also tiny in space, with a bathtub which could be 40 inches long.
The carpet on the floor has many stain spots. I believe that the carpet is too old and they don't do carpet washing periodically.
There are hand towels and showering towels, but they look tired of being washed again and again.
The breakfast that comes with the room charges is really good for the price and quality of the hotel.
If I ever visit Istanbul again, I'll consider going to another hotel in the neighborhood.
