Good location, close to all major attractions, shops, etc. You can walk down to the Bosphorus, there is a park with a Playground nearby. The view from the hotel is mesmerizing. The staff is Russian-speaking and very helpful. There is a small courtyard. The breakfasts are decent, you will not stay hungry: omelette, boiled eggs, olives, olives, vegetables, watermelon, cheese, sausage, croutons, very tasty casserole, good coffee. Among the disadvantages - the hotel is tired, the towel hooks are broken in the bathroom, the refrigerator did not work.
We spent 5 days in this hotel with my husband, or rather just spent the night! ))
We chose it solely by location, it's just great. The historical part of Istanbul, all the main attractions are within walking distance. Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, etc. There are a lot of small cafes and restaurants in the courtyard, and a magnificent view of the Bosphorus opens from the terrace. Yes, the hotel is quite "tired", the breakfasts are monotonous, but you will definitely never stay hungry, the staff is Russian-speaking, they will always tell you or at least try to help)))
The first lira was changed at the reception. There is an exit to the backyard, we didn't find out about it right away. in general, Istanbul is, of course, an incredible city that is definitely worth a visit!
The hotel is good for its money. We knew where we were going. The bed is comfortable, the location is 5 minutes to the center, 7 minutes to the T1 tram, from where you can get to other attractions and places. Our windows overlooked the mosque. It's loud enough, so the Azan, including at 5 a.m., of course. But I respect this religion, so for me the sounds of the azan are pleasant.
The cleaning was a little disappointing. When we checked in, there were about 5 pieces of long black hair everywhere in the room. But I guess it's the women themselves who clean and cook. Therefore, of course, not for very picky tourists
There are only Turkish channels on the TV, there is a kettle in the room, a so-so hairdryer. Shampoo and shower gel are put on every day. There are slippers in the room with a star
The view from the breakfast terrace is gorgeous! He is very happy every morning. The breakfasts are simple , but my husband and I had enough before lunch: sausages in tomato sauce, local cheeses and sausages, boiled eggs, omelette, butter and a lot of different jams, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and a couple of salads, white bread. Coffee from the coffee machine, Turkish delicious tea.
I will boldly recommend the hotel to my friends.
There are many cafes nearby, a small supermarket in the next building in the basement, also 3-5 minutes away from Şok and A101 - chain supermarkets without alcohol. It is very profitable to take chocolate, local products for yourself and for gifts there! Nearby there is a Tekel mesh store with alcohol, for whom it is important. But it's more expensive there than in supermarkets. But they also work at night, it turns out
We had a rest in April 2024. The location of the hotel is excellent, close to all the attractions. Quiet street, no noise. The staff is friendly. The room was cleaned and towels were changed. The breakfasts are decent and delicious. There is a coffee machine. The view from the highway is very beautiful to the sea, the mosque. There is an elevator, which was very pleasing. Everything was fine. I recommend.
Excellent location, 10-15 minutes walk to the tram stop, 5-8 minutes to the sights. Nearby cafes, restaurants, shops with groceries, souvenirs, a small liquor store, a minimarket with fruits and sour-milk products.
The Stone Hotel Istanbul has 17 rooms (ranging from 15 to 39 m2), decorated in a traditional style, equipped with all the necessary services and amenities. There is an elevator, which is important, because it is not very convenient to climb the spiral staircase.
All rooms have a TV, free Wi-Fi, slippers, mini fridge, air conditioning, kettle, bathroom, standard hotel hairdryer, underfloor heating in the bathroom. Cleaning every day.
Breakfast on the terrace from 8-30 to 10-30, the usual modest breakfast, tea/coffee, sliced sausage, cheese of 1-2 types, olives and olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons, omelet, jam.
The staff speaks Russian, there is a 24-hour front desk.
Iron and ironer on request.
You can also relax and contemplate the beauty of the old town with a cup of tea or coffee on the terrace.
There is no parking. If you plan to come with a small child (with a stroller), it will be very inconvenient, because there are steep descents / ascents along the streets. Pros: the air conditioner worked for heating in the bathroom floor heating on the floor of the wall battery (it was raining, things got wet from a walk - everything dried out instantly on the batteries). Cons: cosmetic repairs are required, there are holes from nails, the tile has fallen off, the handle to the toilet is hanging in all directions there is no handle on the window, only holes from them. they do not respond to the contacts listed on the hotel's website.
A good budget hotel. Excellent location, all the sights are within walking distance. The breakfasts are wonderful, the view from the terrace over morning coffee is indescribable... The staff is helpful, the room is clean, cleaned every day. The rest in March 2024 was wonderful! An iron is provided upon request.😊
A wonderful 3-star hotel. Cozy and homely. We took a ticket with breakfast, we were satisfied, everything necessary for breakfast was delicious. Of course, there is something to complain about in the room, but we came to walk and explore the city, and not pay attention to any little things. There are Russian speakers at the reception, the Internet is working properly even sitting near the hotel. There was a water outage one day, but the issue was resolved, we slept so soundly on the beds that we barely got up for breakfast. Everything is within walking distance, transport was not used, near the Blue Mosque, 3 minutes walk. In general, I don't mind staying here again.
A good hotel to spend the night, swim and have a snack in the morning.
We did not have high expectations about the hotel, so the slightly departed wallpaper in the room did not bother us at all. The windows overlooked the courtyard.
Istanbul is not the place where you will spend all your time in a hotel.
They cleaned every day, took out the trash, changed the towel if they put it on the floor.
Breakfast from 8:00 to 10:00 omelette, vegetables, sausages, cheeses, bread, eggs, salad with cabbage and breakfast cereals with milk.
In general, eating in the morning and running on an excursion is the best thing.
Overall, as a place to spend the night, they are good)
Most of the staff speaks Russian. There is a mini-shop nearby, a couple of minutes up to the hippodrome square.
We personally heard that they called for prayer only from Sunday to Monday at 5 a.m. There was no work week on the other days. (from Saturday to Sunday we were not there)
PS. On the first night, at 3 a.m., our TV turned on 😁
We don't know if it was a prank from the previous tenants or if everyone had it. We unplugged it just in case. 😁
I don't understand tourists leaving positive reviews! The location is, of course, good. But every other building in this area of Istanbul is a hotel. So nothing unique. The rest just sucks. The rooms are cleaned disgustingly. Even the sink had to be washed with toilet soap itself. For 8 nights, the bed linen has not been changed once. The plumbing is bad - the hot water is barely flowing.
The breakfasts are inedible. Cold sausages and scrambled eggs every day, titanium tea as in the canteen. Sausage, butter and cheese of the lowest quality. I have something to compare it with - other hotels in Istanbul offer a significant variety.
There are not even tea bags in the room.
The young man at the reception is very helpful and ready to help. But that's where all the advantages end.
A great hotel, for unassuming tourists, everything is nearby. The breakfast is modest, but sufficient. It is better to arrive at the beginning of breakfast. And the mosque is next to the prayer 5 times, but you get used to it.
The hotel is located in the center of the historical part of Istanbul. The nearest attractions are 5-7 minutes away on foot. The rooms are simple, the breakfasts are modest. But you should not pay attention to this, you need to walk around Istanbul. There are many cafes near the hotel, you can safely go to any, it's delicious everywhere.
But I really liked the hotel, to be honest. Small, in the center, cozy, clean - everything is wonderful! And if you add a very reasonable cost of living and a buffet breakfast on the terrace with a magnificent view of the Marmara Sea - the picture will be absolutely wonderful!
A solid four. Clean room, cleaning every day. Breakfast is normal (no more). A coffee machine (in my opinion, cooking one product at the press of any button), but a coffee machine! View from the terrace to the sea and the minaret. Photo shoot with albatrosses every day. Cheap tours at the reception. Great internet! Most of the main attractions are nearby.
Now the cons. Windows either to the courtyard or to the minaret.
Stable alarm clock at 6 am! Until you pray, it won't stop waking you up!!! 5 times a day.
Nice clean hotel, for your money.
The staff speaks Russian and is polite. Thanks to the cook, breakfast is close to Russian food.
Easy access to attractions, near a supermarket.
Пять звёзд за шикарную террасу на крыше отеля! Все остальное где есть недочеты - можно и нужно простить! Номера удовлетворительные. Завтрак - терпимо, голодным не останешься. Относительно чисто, тепло и уютно. Русско-говорящий персонал адекватен. Удачное расположение. Напротив действующая мечеть - призыв на намаз в окно - для колорита, нам нравится. О террасе: три столика с отличным видом. Утром можно на них завтракать. Днем и вечером свободный вход. С собой пиво и местный сыр или вино и устрицы с рыбного рынка - прекрасный вечер с неповторимым видом!
The hotel really really liked it, of course there are pros and cons without it, not like the atmosphere, of course, the view from Tarasa was magnificent, the staff were very sociable, kind and responsive. The breakfasts are delicious every day, what delicious things are baked
Были в этом отеле в апреле. Расположение удобное, персонал - отзывчивый и хороший, всегда помогут, особенно Майя, которая работает на ресепшн. Завтраки однообразные, но сытные, нам понравились. В номере не помешал бы ремонт, но это уже к хозяевам отеля вопрос.
В целом остались приятные впечатления. Не прогадали с выбором.
50 на 50. С одной стороны, слишком старые номера, сантехника оставляет желать лучшего, мебель тоже уставшая. В общем, находиться в номерах не хотелось, а когда заехали ночью, то чуть не расплакались от того, в каких условиях нам придется жить.
С другой, приличный завтрак с невероятным видом на террасе, вежливый персонал, который знает русский язык. В пешей доступности основные достопримечательности. Красивый внутренний дворик.
Вывод таков: если б была такая возможность, я бы выбрала другой отель. Но если у вас такой возможности нет, то делайте ставку на то, что вы будете весь день гулять по Стамбулу, а здесь только спать.
After reading the reviews, I expected the worst. But only one of the expected things came true: poor noise insulation. And for the rest, everything suits me: hot water, good plumbing, beautiful wallpaper, stucco on the ceiling, a cozy room, a clean new bed and towels. And I am delighted with the view from the window of the room and the terrace! The breakfasts are delicious, the staff is Russian-speaking and friendly. I recommend it!
Pros- 1. The location of the hotel is a 5-minute walk from Sultanahmet Square. 2. Roof terrace. Cons - very tired rooms, noise insulation is very low, breakfast is meager.
A cool little family hotel with panoramic views from the roof.

Из плюсов-местоположение,отзывчивый персонал(особенно на ресепшен) Очень доброжелательные и все разговаривают на русском, турецком и английском. Всё подскажут и покажут
Из минусов- наверно Всё остальное. Номера старенькие, местами с плесенью, батареи хоть и висят но не во всех номерах работают. В ванной батарея вообще висит на уровне 150 от Пола. Ударился и рассек голову. Холодно, благо кондер можно включить на тепло. Вода в кране или горячая или холодная. Полотенец дают по 2 на человека, но такие потрепаные и старые, ими в пору полы мыть. Постельное белье и кровати норм. Завтрак-так себе на 1-2 звезды. Но видно что женщины стараются, просто хозяин видно жлоб.
Приходилось на все это стараться не обращать внимание, чтобы не портить себе настроение. Наверно цена/качество соответствует
Были в марте 2023 г. Очень хорошее расположение, в номере было тепло, даже жарко. Жили на 1м этаже. Завтраки вкусные, особенно понравился кофе. Персонал разговаривает на русском, что порадовала
Отдыхали в этом отеле в феврале.
Ужасный отель и безучастный, нежелающий решить вашу проблему персонал. Хотя проблемы были общие , во всем отеле.
1. Нас заселили в номер без отопления, в номере ванна была с неполноценной стеной, она была не заложена до конца и с улицы дул ветер.
2. В номерах нет горячей воды.
3. После устранения этой проблемы , она снова появилась , помыться не представлялось возможным.
4. Единственный плюс этого отеля - терраса.
Но все это не стоит своих денег.
Очень старые номера, грязные, грязные полотенца, плесень на стенах.
3 звезды ставлю только за вид с терассы,расположение и девушке Майе которае сидит на рисепшине.Номера убитые,в номере тёк унитаз,в другом ужасно пахло сыростью.Если только переночевать,возможно пойдёт.За 4 дня прибывания так и не дождались тапочек.Завтраки стандартные,не плохие,женщина в на кухне очень добродушная.

Thanks a lot to the staff!! Very clean hotel, slightly old renovation. The view is gorgeous!!
отель очень грязный, из туалета пахнет просто ужасно. очень шумно и некомфортно. заехали в номер, и увидели что все постельное белье в черных коротких волосах.
Жили в этом отеле 4 дня в конце февраля 2020 года. Все очень понравилось. Номер был на третьем этаже. В номере две кровати, шкаф для вещей, туалетный столик с зеркалом, телевизор, холодильник (охладитель), кондиционер. Туалетная комната с душевой, фен, мыло, шампуни в наличии и добавлялись каждый день. В номере были даже тапочки. Номер конечно не большой , но уютный. Не хватает наверное только чайника. Убирали номер каждый день.
Расположение отеля отличное минуты 2-3 до площади ипподром, ну и 5 минут до Софийского собора. У нас из окна на третьем этаже была видна стена и дом. Но мы в номере практически только спали и это было не важно. Многие жалуются на хорошую слышимость из других номеров, нам наверное повезло, ничего не слышали. Может соседи были тихие или их вообще не было. Всё-таки был ещё не сезон. На 5 этаже отеля ресторан, вот оттуда прекрасный вид на Босфор. Совсем рядом с отелем мечеть, утреннюю молитву слышно, кому это не нужно и кто не крепко спит советую воспользоваться берушами.
Завтрак в отеле неплохой, есть, что покушать заведует трапезой русско говорящая девушка. Завтрак изначально не оплачивали. Договорились на месте. Обошлось 25 лир с человека.
Итог : отель для его стоимости просто отличный.
все супер!и завтраки для 3 звезд - молодцы, стараются, и в номерах чистенько, убираются каждый день. персонал практич.все по-русски говорят. и расположен отель оч удобно в центре.до ай софии дойти за 5 минут можно
Отличный городской отель в самом центре!
Номер был уютный и чистый, персонал вежлив. Завтраки достаточно сытные и вкусные. Рекомендую👍

Расположение удобное, по близости есть много кафешек, персонал вежливый, минусы: при заселении не отслеживаю бронирование номеров. Заселяют в номер хуже чем стандарт, я бы сказал "отстойник" а на следуюший день предлогают переселиться, за три дня проживания таких случаев было два.
