Location is great and unbeatable. You have access to everything. Many popular places are nearby. It is also near to tram. Staffs are very respectful. They speak good English.

The heater was centrally controlled and it was off during some specific hours so it was not always possible to set the desired temperature. In breakfast room, while grabbing foods you are monitored by staffs standing in front of you and it makes you uncomfortable.

The room was small but very clean. The bathroom too was clean. Everyday the towels have been changed. The personal from the reception was very kind The hotel is near the tram station (2min walking), and near Hagia sofia, cistern basilik (5min). Restaurants and supermarket nearby. The breakfast was good. They served me even gluten free bread (by demand). I recomand this hotel.

I had a wonderful stay at the Aldem Hotel! The hotel is incredibly cozy and clean, making it a perfect home base for my trip. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. The location is absolutely ideal – it's within walking distance to everything you could want, from shops to restaurants and attractions. Plus, the breakfast included each morning was delicious and a great way to start the day. I highly recommend the Aldem Hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay!

Excellent location for all major sites and tram stop. Really near restaurants. Warm, clean, had a fridge, slippers, toiletries, free WiFi, arranged reliable taxi transfer, even got local restaurant to come and collect us to take us there as arrived late and needed quick dinner. Fantastic views from roof, could leave cases on check out day. Lift to all but top floor. Change of towels which wasn't expecting, beds made each day. Late check out. Tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer. Great value for money, helpful staff.

Wasn't an issue for us but it is no frills and the finish isn't great on the decor, not a lot of space to put cases out of the way, but not there much. Couldn't get more than one channel on TV but used phone instead. It's plain but clean and comfy.

The location is perfect if you’re looking to stay in SultanAhmet. The taxis can drop you off to the door which means you’re not having to drag your luggage across the pedestrianised area. It’s 2 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and 8 minute walk to the Grand Bazaar. The place is very clean with room service coming every day. Beds are comfortable. Staff are friendly.

The only let down was the breakfasts. The reviews about their breakfasts were positive and its what swayed me to book this hotel and unfortunately I found it disappointing. Most of the food was cold. It was scrambled or hard boiled eggs every day, no option to request a fried egg etc. There were no croissants/ pastries which are the basics of a continental breakfast. The fruit option was apples every day. One day slices of strawberry and sour apricots on another day. Also as a Brit, I need a cuppa in the morning but there were no normal/breakfast tea teabags. They only had Turkish tea ready made in an urn.

Absolutely a wonderful stay at the Aldem Hotel. The receptionist made our stay beyond pleasant and gave us great tips during our stay. Upgraded our room so that allowed us to stay an entire week instead of the one night we had originally booked. Can not say enough about the helpfulness and professionalism of the the entire staff. The free breakfast was amazing! The rooms were cleaned and the sheets were changed daily. I will definitely stay here when I return to Istanbul. Also, the view from the terrace at night is amazing. It just gets a little cold in the winter.

Nothing!

The staff are nice and friendly, always willing to assist and to provide information. Location is great, surrounded by many places to eat and easy access to attractions.

Some of the rooms are small in size, but if you are there only to sleep at night and be out and about during the day, it should be fine.

The staff were exceptionally friendly, even with the language barrier. To be honest, we were out 90% of the time but the interaction we did have, they were nice. The facilities were clean enough, not high end but we expected that as we went for the middle range hotel. The room was on the small side, however, location made up for how the hotel was. In istanbul you're barely in your hotel so as long as it's clean and you have friendly staff then you're good to go with this hotel. I definitely recommend it. Location is spot on, right next to the big two mosques, shops, grand bazaar etc.

The hotel does need an upgrade for sure. There were barely any plug sockets and the card socket to keep the lights etc on was faulty. Looks like it's going to fall apart soon. A little bit cleaner within the toilets would be great. Also, better night lights, so duller, as they were way too bright, would be great.

We booked one room for us, and another one, a few doors away, for our 23 year old son. Our rooms were exceptionally small, with no wardrobe (just a short wall-mounted cupboard with a hanging rail) I wanted to hang 3 long dresses, and the only way to store them was to drape them over the bedside cabinet, which was not ideal. Given the size of the room, we appreciated that there was no room for a proper full height wardrobe, but a few hanging hooks on the wall would help for coats/longer clothes, etc. The beds in both rooms were VERY hard. I can sleep on any bed, and so can our son. My husband has back problems, so it was not surprising that he got hardly any sleep at all for the first two nights. More surprising is that neither did I, or our son. We mentioned this at Reception and they placed 2 (thin fabric) mattress toppers on our bed, which meant that I slept reasonably well. But my poor husband had a terrible night EVERY night, which obviously impacted on his enjoyment of the trip. This was such a pity, but the management did try to help. I think they need to either get better quality, medium-hard mattresses, or at least get thick foam mattress toppers. The room was nicely decorated. We appreciated the free toiletries. Also the well stocked (and reasonably priced) mini-bar. The breakfast room was lovely, with good views. The breakfast was excellent. We were pleased that there was a lift. The rooftop terrace had fabulous views, and if the weather had been better we would have taken our breakfast there, but it was a little too cold and/or wet. The location was excellent - 5 minutes walk from The Hippodrome, The Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern and the T1 tram stop (the route used most by tourists). 10 minutes walk to Gulhane Park, the Archaeology Museums and Topkapi Palace, 15 minutes walk to the Grand Bazaar, the Egyptian (Spice) Bazaar, and Sirkeci Metro. The location could not be better.

The beds! The lack of hanging space in the bedrooms. The cleanliness in the shower and around the cupboard supporting the washbasin. The shower sealant and some of the grouting had signs of previous mould, and need to be thoroughly cleaned or replaced. One side of the washbasin cabinet trim was rotten and very unsightly - but this would be very simple to replace.

Location was very good right near blue mosque n shops. Breakfast could do with crossaint nice fruit not boring. Should add watermelon oranges cherries. Room is OK sieze for location as everywhere very congested and so it's good to be able to stay their as only used for resting. I was little ill asked for 1 of ur drinks the guy charged 40 lira OK but staying there what's 1 can. The gentlemen on first day and last night 9th were super but 1 in middle day wasn't

Should add more fruit to breakfast especially during summer as not soo expensive during this season.
