Blue Sultan Apart

The location is perfect, the main attractions are within walking distance. The staff is really nice. Communication is also smooth. We arrived an hour early and were allowed in. We were in Istanbul on rainy days and it was cold, but the heating worked very well, so we were very grateful. When we asked for a frying pan, they responded immediately and brought it. They also tried to fix the wifi, although unfortunately they didn't succeed. The bed was perfect for us. Cleanliness was adequate.

The apartment, in our opinion, is not 25 mm, possibly including the external terrace. The apartment with the terrace is on the 4th floor, you have to go up a lot of spiral stairs. It didn't cause us any problems, but those who arrive with suitcases will not be happy. The door height is extremely low, you can only enter by bending over. The kitchen equipment is extremely, extremely poor, we have never been in such a poorly equipped kitchen. What is there is also disappointing: only plastic, advertising plates, not a single sharp knife, normal-sized glass. There was only one (!) pot. We asked for a frying pan, they brought it the next day as soon as they could. This definitely needs to be improved, this is definitely not an acceptable standard. And no matter how nice the hosts are, if I can't make an omelette, because there is nothing in it. They also "fit" to put basic supplies such as salt. It costs pennies, we had to buy 1 kg now, although we only used a maximum of one teaspoon in total. It's annoying and you have to carry it home. We couldn't connect to the wifi many times, the signal is very weak. Even when we managed to, it dropped us quickly. We were on the top floor, we think the router must have been somewhere on the lower floor and/or there were a lot of people on it. (?) This also needs to be improved, they "promised" this to us, but it didn't work even after the requested adjustment. This is also a basic expectation these days. An apartment in the basement was renovated in the house. It's also FIT to indicate this, they usually give a discount in such cases, because a tourist doesn't want to hear sawing, loud tile cutting, etc., they come to rest. Especially they don't want to hear noise on SUNDAY!!!! There is a staircase leading down to this basement apartment on the street. A "manhole". It's life-threatening!

Third floor , no lift

The location is excellent — just a few minutes’ walk from the Blue Mosque and main attractions. The studio apartment was small but functional, with a comfortable bed, kitchenette (sink, small hob, and fridge), and private bathroom. It’s on the 4th floor with no lift, but there’s a small terrace with a lovely Bosphorus view. The WiFi could be improved, as it often disconnected for long periods. The owner and his son were very kind and reliable, and they kindly stored our luggage after checkout. Overall, it’s not a luxury stay, but it’s perfect if you value proximity, practicality, and good value for money.
