Nagehan Hotel Old City

After reading good reviews about the Nagehan Old City Hotel, we booked 6 nights here to enjoy Istanbul. Traveling a lot, I had to live in various hotels and hostels, but I've never met such squalor. In the room, all the furniture is about to fall apart, the air conditioner seems to have never been cleaned, stuffy is impossible, even with a tiny window open. The second window doesn't open at all. The water in the tap is only hot, it is impossible to take a shower comfortable. It's hard to believe that the hotel is 2014. It seems as if the renovation hasn't been done for 20 years. Breakfasts are very poor. 7 days to eat a boiled eggs and tomatoes is hard. The only plus of this hotel is the room cleaning. The impression that positive reviews were written either by the hotel employees themselves or by the visitors who went abroad for the first time in their life. In another way, I cannot explain the rating of this place. And the most unpleasant thing is the hotel staff. I've never met such boorish and rude attitude towards visitors. A complete lack of respect to us. I understand if we paid for the room cheaply, but the amount for the room was pretty expensive. We are regret to have chosen this place. For this money we could stay in an excellent hotel. But the good reviews convinced us. What a pity! Next time we will choose a hotel more carefully so that we don't have to live in a trash heap.

It's very good place if you looking for something cheap and good location .. We stayed 3 nights it was good and there is very nice cafe in the corner of the Hotel you can make delicious breakfast it's very cheap ... And stuff in this hotel nice ... 15 min walk to Grand Bazar and 20 min walk to big Mosque ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room and bathroom were clean, modern, bright and comfortable. Strong, fast, stable wifi and Internet. Fantastic breakfast. Every member of staff was great. The only reason for not giving an Excellent rating is the location, a bit far from the main sights in an area that could feel uncomfortable at night for some.

The main problem with this hotel is that its in a HORRIBLE area. Its not close to the main touristic area at all and more importantly Its not safe to walk at night for women and even the taxi drivers were anxious about dropping me off in such a unsafe neighborhood and recommended that I dont walk there at night. The room itself is decent but the the view from my bedroom was over looking a yard of garbage. The hotel has no lobby and the its very dark. Also the bathroom had mold and while it did look clean it was clearly a very old bathroom and needs updating. Whoever makes a post saying that this a great location is LYING. Yes its walking distance to sulaymanie mosque and yes its *relatively* close to grand baazar but in order get to those locations you have to walk through an extremely impoverished and neglected area filled with homeless people who will follow you around begging. This hotel is NOT in an area where its ok to walk around the neighborhood at night. I relied on the reviews before booking this hotel and I was extremely disappointed with what i got. Proceed with caution when staying here. The only thing good about this hotel is the staff which helped bring my luggage up 2 flights of stairs and were very accommodating. Concerned Female Traveler

At first we had good impressions of this hotel, but in fact everything in the room is more like decoration. You touch it and it breaks. Yet it offers very good Turkish breakfast. We stayed in many hotels in Turkey and here we had best breakfast of all.
