Ring Stone Hotels Old City - Special Class

The location and the beautiful facility

They do not mob floor, clean bathrooms or vacuum clean unless asked. Even when asked, it is still not done. I think they are short handed. Also, ax/c heating is on automatic. We were burning up and they said we only could turn it off. It open windows 😂

The staff was really friendly and the breakfast was fantastic

Even though the heater was on, my room still felt cold

Ringstone was an excellent stay. The hotel staff was so very helpful and gave us excellent guidance with regards to sightseeing, directions and food. The hotel is located super close to excellent restaurants, the grand bazaar, public transport and Hagia Sophia, blue mosque, topkapi and basilica cistern. Highly recommend to stay here! The room was super comfy and clean.

Convenient location, within walking distance of many of the sights we were in Istanbul to see. The neighborhood was safe with a police presence just down on the corner.

The room we were assigned was literally at/off the front door of the hotel lobby. Very convenient with all the luggage we had with us, but very inconvenient with you hearing EVERYTHING that goes on in the lobby or out on the street in front of the hotel. This included every person checking in/out of the hotel as well as the mating wild cats in the late afternoon. Istanbul is a city of cats, just so you know. Most annoying were the lobby chairs right out in front of the door to our room which always seemed to be occupied by people coming and going and their luggage we would have to walk around to leave our room. The worst however, was when a friend of the night time manager showed up late one night and proceeded to talk at the top of his lungs for about 30 min (around 11 pm) before I got dressed and went out signaling to the manager to tone it down, which he immediately had his friend do. Bottom line: turn down this room. We stayed there 4 nights and I should have done it, but my wife talked me out of it.
