The property was okay but when we got inside one of the room lights wouldn’t work and the worst part was sleeping there because we had to keep the AC on all night because it was soo hottt there was a bad rattling noise coming through the AC we told the reception but they were unable to do anything we stayed there 5 nights and out of all them.5 nights we probably slept for like 2 hours each day because we couldn’t sleep

The stairs to the 2nd floor were very narrow and steep, and the room was very small, but the location was great. An easy walk to the Aya Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

This place is not clean and in fact very dirty. There is mold in the bathroom all over the floor and wall tiles. The fridge in the room is old, rusty and also very dirty. Electricity outlets and hanging from the wall and are not safe to be used. The terrace is dirty as well and not usable. In the pictures it's shown nicely set up but it's not. Breakfast is tiny and not fit for a grown adult. This place should not be listed for bookings. Pictures that are listed online are not what you see when you go to the property.

Good Hotel but worst breakfast in Turkey.
Reasonable hotel with aircon and tv working fine. Main issue was with the poor breakfast as there was no buffet and you were given a tiny fixed plate. When asking for more you were just given 1 small slice of cheese.. Breakfast let it down big time.

I really liked the hotel and the area, the staff was really nice and very helpful, you need to remember something you come to 3 stars hotel so lower your expectations. Besides that everything was good and I enjoyed the experience. Special Thanks to Elcin he is one of the staff members for all the helps and the advices he gave me about area and Istanbul in general

You get what you pay for... hard to find. The ac was not working, room got very hot. You can hear all the noises from the street, so if you are a light sleeper it’s not for you. Their phone number publish on this side is not a working number.

It was nice hotel for its reasonable price. Staff were helpfull. You need to walk like 15 minutes to get to blue mosque. Breakfast was not all that. The room was clean, neat and quiet.

Istanbul's Fors Hotel is a great budget traveler's choice. The location is great--right in the heart of Old Town, and close to the light rail transit system. The price is right: very inexpensive compared to other Istanbul choices. The rooms are small, but clean and practical. The staff is most helpful and friendly.

Amazingly located
This hotel provides a very warm and home like atmosphere which makes the visitor instantly comfortable and relaxed. The staff are exceedingly helpful and speak reasonably good English and are well conversant. The hotel is clean and the breakfast menu is simple yet highly satisfactory and nourishing. Its location is superb especially for those who intend to visit a traditional Turkish bath as there is an excellent one right up your street. It is close to the old district of Sultanahmet and most of the historical sites like the Bazzar and Cemberlitas Column. Comes highly recommended.

cheap and in the old part
The hill up is quite steep upwards (indeed with luggage very steep),no pavement all the way and easy to get lost. The TV seems not to have any relevance as we couldn't find a channel in english. The rooms are very small. We pulled bed out from wall and only just had room to move to toilet. 2 bigger people would have major problems. There is no space to put suitcases.
One night a man was watching TV and looked at us and ignored us(when we entered) so I assumed he was a guest and not the receptionist to give us our key. We waited a few minutes for someone to come.In the end I found the bell and pinged it. TV watcher then stood up and asked if we needed help. Most bizarre. Breakfast was adequate but tea and coffee bad.. coffee turned out to be a gold blend machine and the tea was Turkish Black.
