The hotel has 6 floors, on the 6th floor there is a terrace where breakfast is held, I thought the view would be better. I booked an economy room without a window, it's better to pay extra and order with a window. The room was very small and very stuffy, so I always turned on the air conditioner. There was no kettle in the room, which is very bad. Regarding cleaning, it is not included in the price, you need to pay for it separately. This is one of the disadvantages. Pros: there are two Russian-speaking administrators, Timur, and the second administrator, the girl did not ask for the name. The hotel is within walking distance of the Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet Mosques, Gulhane Park and the tram stop. Tram T1 takes you to Galata Tower, Eminenyu Port, and Aksaray Metro Station. Havaist buses depart from Aksaray Metro Station to the new airport every 30 minutes) About breakfast: no porridge, boiled eggs, omelet, draniki, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, olives, olives, thick yogurt, butter, jam, cornflakes, from
there was a large selection of sweets, there was even honey from honeycombs, tea bags, as well as Turkish tea brewed, lemonade, salads, two types of bread, there was even a vegetable stew, fruits:melon, orange, apples. You won't stay hungry. It's a normal 3-star hotel, so I set 5 stars. Staff
They are responsive, polite, and will help you with any question. I recommend. I didn't book any tours, because I know where and what is)

The hotel itself is three-star.
10 minutes walk to Sultanahmet Square. 2 minutes walk to the tram stop. And I had to use the tram often, since the sights of the city are located in different places and not nearby, besides Istanbul itself is one continuous descent and ascent. The location is great.
The room is small enough, but it's not critical for us. It was clean, but I didn't have enough lighting. In the bathroom, the main light bulb was off, only a small one.
There was no tea set, slippers, soap, shower gel, shampoo, or hair conditioner in the room. The minibar is paid. 2 bottles of water only upon check-in. There is a safe.
The room is tired, the faucets in the bathroom are barely breathing at all. Where the sink fell off) was attached, used carefully.
Cleaning is on demand, but we didn't ask for it. They left in the morning, and returned in the evening only to sleep.
Breakfast without frills. Standard set: vegetables, eggs, cheese, rolls, desserts. We had enough, we usually have breakfast at home. There was a coffee machine. And by the way, there was honey in the honeycomb.
I asked for a second blanket, and they brought it without any problems.
You could take an umbrella at the reception. They also asked to call a taxi to the airport so that the cost would be fixed. They also helped with this.
Overall a good hotel. I took off 1 star for bathroom faucets and an unlit lamp

One of the best hotels.
Nothing supernatural, but the most comfortable for me. Everything is within walking distance. Historical sites every hundred meters.)
In the mornings, the breakfasts are quite modest and monotonous, but they are almost the same everywhere, so this does not bother us at all. Daily cleaning service.
Wonderful managers. There are Russian speakers.
In a word, a wonderful place!

The staff is Russian-speaking, the location is excellent, the very center, everything is nearby and the metro and tram, and the market and all the main attractions ! The food is simple, it will do for breakfast!! The rooms are tiny but clean! The problem is that the elevator is not working yet, a new one is being installed!

The hotel is nice, very clean and cozy. The rooms are small, but for two, it's fine for 3-5 days. We had a room with a balcony. Water, unlimited tea, minibar for money. The breakfasts are good, except for coffee. It is located on a wonderful, quiet street, but a taxi does not always reach it, since it is pedestrian. But these are small things, there is a tram, metro, train station nearby. The sights are within walking distance. Cafes, of course, are very expensive, but we went for a walk and ate for a normal price.

Everything was fine with us. It's a very nice hotel in a very convenient location. Topkapi Palace is within walking distance, near the tram stop, the main mode of transport for tourists) The cleaning for the 4 days of our arrival was not done even once, well, we did not stay at the hotel either.

It's a pretty "tired" hotel. The breakfasts are decent - you won't stay hungry: there is always an omelet, 3-4 types of cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, 3 types of olives, delicious tea, and coffee is better not to drink (you can ask the staff to make it). The location is excellent, the main attractions are within walking distance, and there is a tram stop nearby

Great hotel! Located in the heart of the Ottoman Empire, most of the attractions are within walking distance. Near the port, tram, metro. You can get anywhere in Istanbul. The staff is amazing, they will always tell you and come to the rescue, our shower was leaking, but the administrator Timur fixed the leak with lightning speed. You can always ask for help with choosing walks and excursions! Rooms are cleaned on demand, everything is clean. The rooms are not large, but in general they are only needed for overnight stays! The rest was wonderful! Every morning for breakfast you go to the upper floor to the terrace, where you can already say "Good morning, Istanbul!" The only point is the breakfasts, the cheeses are all very salty, the assortment is too small in the form of hot dishes. Thank you so much for the rest! çok teşekkür ederim!

We stayed at the Evsen Hotel for a week, the visit was timed to coincide with the birthday and the tulip festival in Istanbul. Having previously looked at the photo of the hotel, I did not recognize it on the spot.It turns out that reconstruction is underway there. Breakfast is served at the reception, not on the 6th floor. Accordingly, in the early days they served just a complex, truncated breakfast (pictured), there was not even a modest buffet, then they equipped a small table with bread products and breakfast cereals. There was no fruit.
The mini bar in the room is paid. The last time we had it "fries" it was to compensate for the noise from construction work.
The elevator is new, but it's not working yet. All on foot. It's not convenient, because we walked around the city a lot and it was hard to climb once again.
These shortcomings were compensated by the friendly staff and, of course, the location of the hotel. Near the tram stop, Gulhane Park and Hagia Sophia, 7 minutes walk to Eminenyu Marina, 5 minutes direct from the hotel to the Egyptian Bazaar, 10 minutes to the Grand Bazaar.
And the most pleasant bonus of the hotel's location is the Balkan Lokantasi restaurant, where we had lunch for 130-450 liras. The portions there are so large that they divided the dishes for two or took them for dinner (they give containers). This cafe is a 5-minute walk away.
When the repair work is done there, everything will be fine, you can go.

Convenient location! Russian-speaking Admin. Normal breakfasts. The rooms are not pretentious, but neat. There are tram and river transport stops nearby. I recommend it if you need to spend a few days in Istanbul.

The hotel is located in the historical part of the city. I went out, walked for two or three minutes: and here is Gulkhane Park, and next to it is the Sultan Topkapi Palace, a little more - and Hagia Sophia, Sultanahmet Square, and the Blue Mosque open. Nearby there are restaurants with Turkish cuisine, souvenir shops, a tram stop (who needs to go to the other shore of the Golden Horn Bay).
The staff is polite, attentive, there are Russian speakers. We had breakfast (buffet) on the sixth floor, overlooking the quarter. Everything is delicious and fresh. Besides coffee, coffee is weak. It's better to take tea, it's tart and invigorating.
The rooms are good, for the price. But be prepared for the evening noise outside the window (there is no complete sound insulation). However, the key to a good sleep is to walk well during the day. Then no noise is a hindrance.
In general, the main advantage is the convenient location. And there are no special disadvantages.

The hotel is old, but well maintained. The beds are comfortable, clean, and the breakfasts are edible.
Very polite staff, nice guys.
The location is great if you are in Istanbul for 2-3 days.
We've been there for 7 days and are a little tired of the noise.
But the overall impression is super positive.

In principle, a normal hotel if you are going to Istanbul for a couple of days.
There is everything you need and at a reasonable price. There are Russian-speaking staff, so there will be no problems with solving the issues. The most important advantage is the location. Within 5-10 minutes walking distance of all the main attractions, if necessary, and public transport stops are at hand.
The hotel itself, of course, has something that could be improved. But we must understand that then the price is likely to rise, so let everything stay there as it is.

From + : Location, staff, the room was clean on the day of arrival.Because : there has never been a cleaning in 4 days (I didn't put up the sign, they didn't clean, we realized that later)the towels are not fresh, the rooms are microscopic (you shouldn't take them without a window at all, even the air conditioner doesn't save you from the stuffiness, the neighbors shared the information).We were in Istanbul for 4 days, the elevator is under repair, and therefore breakfast is served on the ground floor.The breakfasts themselves, as elsewhere in budget hotels: eggs, several types, a plate with cheese, olives, olives, cheese, and vegetables (served separately for each), breakfast cereals, honey in honeycombs and oranges with apples, tea, coffee.For those who came for a walk, and not to sit in the room, a great option.There are many cafes nearby, the metro is 3 minutes away, there is a great Waikiki and U S Polo nearby.Everything is within walking distance.

I really want to give the hotel a three, but the staff pulls out a five (except for the room cleaning service, they have a two), so we'll settle on a four. The hotel is tired and very much, the location is of course very good. We arrived in the era of elevator repairs, but they helped us lift and lower our suitcases, our room was on the top floor. I was even very comfortable without an elevator. The breakfasts are good, not varied, but satisfying. You won't stay hungry. Well, we had a room with a kind of balcony, but the door didn't want to open, it was a little complicated with the lock)))) After cleaning, we didn't clean up in 4 days, we didn't change towels and bed linen, and if we somehow came to terms with it, but we didn't take out the trash even once in 4 days, it's certainly harsh. I'm not sure if I'll stay here anymore.😂

A wonderful hotel. I booked a month before the trip, the prices for accommodation were cheaper than others in the same area. I didn't lose my choice. A cozy, clean room.For breakfast, omelets, boiled eggs, vegetables, herbs, cheeses, sausages, desserts, fruits (orange and apple) are provided as standard. We took an excursion from the hotel to the Princes' Islands. There was no excitement. Ships depart from the marina to the same islands for a lower price. The main attractions are within walking distance. We also walked to Istiklal Street. I will also recommend Yildiz Park. It is not popular among tourists, as it is far from the center. On the sixth day of my stay, I wanted a new location.

At the reception, an iron, scales for luggage and even a film to wrap suitcases are provided on request. The service is excellent, even tea will be offered on the respeshne) many thanks to Timur, the hotel administrator, he speaks excellent Russian, is responsive and very welcoming) for all questions on the subject and off the subject, we went to him) I highly recommend this hotel

The friendly staff will meet you and help you carry your suitcase to your room, as well as clean it at your request, feed you a delicious breakfast (be sure to try a Russian salad - like olivier with pasta instead of potatoes). You can easily reach all the tourist places of Istanbul - Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Galt Tower, Egyptian and Grand Bazaars, etc. Of the disadvantages, it can probably be noted that communications passed through the room and the sound of drained water sometimes caused confusion.

I stayed alone, I really like the area, near the metro and all the sights are accessible. The room is very clean and cozy. The breakfasts are the best, compared to where else I've been, a very large buffet. The staff is very nice and sociable, but there is no activity in the hotel itself. Since I'm alone, it was a little boring, maybe something can be done about it. And I would also like to sit outside the hotel in the evening to drink tea, but there is very little space in the lobby and on the street. Also add.I didn't see any products, I constantly went to the store.

A small but cozy hotel. It is located near the most interesting places in Istanbul. The staff is responsive. The rooms are small, but nice and cozy. The breakfasts are standard for Istanbul, without much variety, but delicious. Only you need to take a room with a balcony, as there is a room without windows in the hotel. I don't really imagine how to live in a room without windows - air conditioning is good, of course, but sometimes I just want to open the window and ventilate.

The hotel is not bad, there is no transport on the street, a quiet place during the day.The Russian-speaking manager Timur and the girl (I did not remember the name) are always ready to help, very kind!
One of the disadvantages is the old furniture. There is also a renovation in the neighboring hotel nearby - they make noise all night, it was impossible to sleep. But I hope it won't last long)

Location: 5+, near, within walking distance, a park and a promenade with a fantastic view of the Bosphorus. A very cozy and picturesque tourist quarter with a million cafes and narrow cinema streets.
Staff: quite responsive, some speak Russian, but personally it was easier for me to communicate in English.
The room is tiny, but my wife and I had more than enough for a few nights in Istanbul. Actually, we only came to spend the night, the rest of the time on excursions. The room is clean and tidy.
Breakfast: a fly in the ointment for me personally. I used to eat enough in the morning from my stomach on such trips, so that I could calmly walk on excursions without thinking about food. It was difficult to overeat here: there was a fairly limited choice and some products were, as it were, on a spree. My wife reassured me by saying that the quality matches the price of the hotel. Maybe.
Overall, I was satisfied with the hotel. I recommend

A cozy little hotel, close to the metro station and tram stop. Very polite receptionists who meet on the road and help carry suitcases speak good English, and one even speaks Russian. The rooms are small but cozy, a good orthopedic mattress, small pillows. The room has a small refrigerator, safe, air conditioning. The breakfasts are monotonous, but delicious, you can hold out for a week. They gave gorgeous watermelons, melons and oranges, as well as a wonderful thick yogurt. An omelette and boiled eggs, tomatoes, lettuce leaves and an assortment of magnificent olives and olives are mandatory. Excellent freshly brewed Turkish tea, very rich, good cappuccino in the coffee machine. We liked it, next time we'll stay here again.

I liked everything, except for one thing. The hotel is in a very convenient location. A minute walk to the tram, 15 minutes to the metro. Many attractions are within walking distance. We walked calmly to Taksim. The rooms are small, but this is not surprising. Breakfast for 3 stars is not bad, there are omelets, cheeses, sweets, eggs, bread. But it is unlikely that you will be able to overeat. We were settled quickly, evicted too (check-out at 11 o'clock). We took a room with a balcony. It's very noisy in the evening, people are having fun in the restaurants downstairs. The sound insulation is poor. We used to fall asleep to the noise, so it wasn't a problem for us. But if you are not used to it, then take earplugs, because up to 23 hours at least music and voices. After that, we always slept, so we don't know what time the festivities end. Now let's move on to the main point. On the last evening at 22:30 we were about to go to bed, but suddenly we felt a strong smell of burning. There were already thoughts of a fire in the hotel. We look out into the street, and there the hotel staff lit two bonfires for some reason. They came down and said that there was nothing to breathe in the room (all the smoke was flying straight to our room). It turned out that these bonfires are generally made by the owner of the hotel.... We did not understand the essence of this action. But because of the smoke and the smell, you could easily get poisoned. I'm glad that we haven't fallen asleep yet and went outside.

I really liked the hotel. There was a small "jamb" - my friend and I were put in a room with one bed, although it was stated that 2 separate beds were needed. The next day we were offered to move into a 3-bed room. The third bed was made as a sofa. The staff is very friendly. Special thanks to Timur. However, the other receptionists were very friendly (Google translator to help everyone). The breakfasts are great. Fruits/vegetables/cheeses ...It is impossible to list everything.
