I had a mixed experience at Old City Family Hotel. The location is really convenient, sitting between the old city and Istiklal Street, which was awesome for exploring. However, the room was quite small and the breakfast options didn't really change. Plus, I encountered a bit of a sketchy vibe returning to the hotel at night due to the alleyway and construction nearby.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location is fantastic. very close to key attractions like the Suleymaniye Mosque and public transport.

I stayed at Old City Family Hotel recently, and while the location was perfect-right between the old city and Istiklal street-there were a few drawbacks. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience much better. However, the breakfast was quite repetitive, and my room was on the smaller side. Overall, it was a decent stay, especially for the price.
