Hotel Sari Konak

I never give bad reviews. We have stayed in three hotels in Turkey, and the other two were very good, but this hotel is the most unpleasant of all the hotels I have stayed in, even worse than the hotels in small towns in China. The room facilities are old, the air conditioner outlet baffle is broken, the bedding is uncomfortable, there are unwashed stains on the quilt, the cotton in the pillow is already clumps, the bathroom is always smelly, the sound insulation is very poor, and the breakfast is not delicious! But if the service satisfies me, I will ignore these, but on the first day we arrived, when checking in, the front desk staff (a bearded man) turned a blind eye and let us stand there for a long time before looking up and checking us in coldly. When taking us to the elevator, he saw us carrying two suitcases and struggling to go up the stairs, but he did not take the initiative to help, just watching us there. I chose this hotel after seeing all the good reviews, but the actual experience was really bad. When we checked out, they said we drank a bottle of their mineral water, but they only provided us with a free bottle of water on the first day, and charged for it afterwards, so we had to buy it ourselves afterwards. Don’t they know how many bottles of water they give to guests?

老城區房屋改建，條件有限（空調/隔音/電梯）衹能將就。可步行到主要景點，但離地鐵公交站有段距離，帶行李步行不方便。

非常好的酒店 服務很貼心

還可以的，可以選擇

We had a good time in Istanbul, and this was certainly helped by the location of the Sari Konak Hotel, which is a stone's throw from all the main attractions of the Sultanahmet diet, right behind the Blue Mosque. The location is ideal. As for the hotel itself, on the one hand, for this money in the center of Istanbul you can hardly expect anything better, and on the other hand, at a price of €100/day for a tiny room, you should invest at least a little in updating such basic things as bed linen, pillows, bedspreads and towels are still possible. The hotel maid (single person) tried her best and cleaned well, but guys, torn bed linen, lumped pillows and mattresses and bedspreads covered with indelible stains are unacceptable even for a 2* hotel. The hotel's interior is interesting, authentic, but in urgent need of updating. Breakfast is poor and suitable only for very undemanding travelers. Pros: 1. Excellent location, a small market and a bunch of cafes and restaurants around, all the main attractions, including the Bosphorus, are within a kilometer radius; 2. Beautiful view from the roof terrace of the Bosphorus, Galata, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia; 3. Good free WiFi, working air conditioning and fan, stable hot water pressure in the rooms; 4. Friendly staff. Minuses: 1. Shabby rooms and textiles that require updating (bed linen, bedspreads, pillows, towels); 2. Poor breakfast; 3. Two active construction sites within a radius of 20 meters from the hotel. We had a great time in Istanbul, managed to see all the main wonders of this awesome city within 6 days - and the location of the “Sari Konak” hotel gave us the great advantage to access all the main attractions of the Sultanahmet area within a short walk. So, the location of the hotel (right behind the Blue Mosque) is perfect. As for the hotel itself: on the one hand, for this price you can hardly expect anything better in the center of Istanbul, however, on the other hand, at a price of €100/day for a tiny room, the owners should invest at least a little in updating such basic things as bed linen, pillows, bedspreads and towels. The hotel maid (there was just 1 housekeeper at the hotel throughout our stay) tried her best and cleaned the rooms well, but guys, torn bed linen, lumped pillows and mattresses and bedspreads littered with unremovable stain are unacceptable spots even for a 2* hotel, while “Sari Konak” claims for 4*. The hotel's interior is interesting, authentic, but it urgently needs updating. Breakfast is poor and suitable only for very undemanding travelers. Pros: 1. Excellent location, a small market and a bunch of cafes and restaurants around, all the main attractions, including the Bosphorus, are in a short walk distance; 2. Beautiful view from the roof terrace towards the Bosphorus, Galata, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia; 3. Good free Wi-Fi, working air conditioner and fan, stable hot water pressure in the room; 4. Friendly staff. Cons: 1. Shabby rooms screaming for renovation, and textile that must be replaced (bed linen, bedspreads, pillows, towels); 2. Poor breakfast; 3. Two ongoing construction sites within a radius of 20 meters from the hotel.
