The shower was poor. Only one lamp in the room. They asked for payment at the arrival. But it is very cheap.

Great place, if you're in Istanbul to visit the historical part, Bazar, palace etc.. Everything is close by and the place is extremely affordable...

This was the best budget option we could find in Istanbul. The location is good and is walkable to all the major attractions in the old city. There was free wireless connection on the lower floors. You can actually get a cheaper rate if you book directly on their website.

For me, the Hotel Emek turned out to have been a lucky choice.Great view and good services!Friendly and very helpful staff, the rooms have a traditional look and are confortable.My room was quiet and I slept well.Lovely place in the middle of the historical centre of Istanbul.Location is the main asset. Close to Sultanahmet and also to Eminou, Galata Bridge.Very good position to reach Topkapi, Haghia Sophia etc.

The hotel is in good location, just 300 m from sightseeing places. Good price because Istanbul hotels are very expensive. Hotel is clean only the things maybe hotel staff should study little more english.

3.8

What advertised not quite true, i.e. bathroom very small and in poor condition. Comparing to other hotels in area, most probably Quality vs. Price can be better.

2.5

The room was dirty. The sheets smelt, the wall paper was peeling off. The drain for the shower ran onto the floor and I dont think the toilet had ever been cleaned. The tap water smelt like sewerage....we had to get our own air freshener just to be in the room. The room was only cleaned once in the 5 nights we stayed and that is because we asked them too. The brochure and website photos showed a completely different bathroom. We found other accomodation for out other nights for 3 euros more with 100% improvement. The highlight of staying at Hotel Emek was checking out!!!!

They never bothered to clean the room, unless asked. Therefore you had to go to reception to get basic things like soap or toilet paper. Even though the email booking said payment at the end of the stay the first thing they did was hassle us for money and continued to do so every time they saw us - until I just gave in after a couple of days and gave it them early for an easy life. The main sellings points are that: (1) it is cheap (2) 5-10 minutes walk from all of the things you would want to see in that part of town like: Haga Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi, The waterfront etc (3) it is near by shops, food places, supermarket etc

Hotel Emek is really very ideally located to visit the Aya Sofia, the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi Palace. These places are all within 5 minutes walking distance. The hotel is located in a quiet side street. The rooms are small and not all of them have private showers (at least not all the singel rooms, I haven't seen the other rooms). Unfortunately there's an old elevator that rumbles through the building and can be heared in almost every room. Hotel Emek is definitely a budget option, don't expect any luxuries but if you stay for only a couple of days and want to see the major attractions in Istanbul the location of the hotel is perfect.
