What people say
The Efendi Apartments are in a new building that has just opened to guests in August. The apartments are newly built, decorated and furnished and consist of five room options. They are located a 6-8 minute downhill walk from the Grand Bazaar towards the sea. We found it very convenient to all of our needs. There are several markets for basic food purchases and lots of restaurants along the fish market or the up the hill to the Main Street. While it is situated In a touristy part if town, the ap. all reviews »
The apartment is clean & new. Beds are comfortable... although we booked a double and the beds were made up as 2 singles pushed together!
The location is good with a short walk to the Grand Bazaar. As other comments have said, the apartment is in a very old area of town with the apartment being the only building in the street which looks safe to be in.
The cafes in the street leading to the Grand Bazaar offer great variety & value.
the apartment is close to all tourist hotspots.It is located in a more traditional area where turkish workers families live,so you feel the culture more.The apartment is amazing for what you are paying,its clean modern and air conditioned.The house keeper Mr Naime is one in a million.In addition is cheaper to stay here because you are not paying tourist premium prices!!.
the room was clean and new. wifi condition was pretty good , it was so fast. the location of this hotel is not so touristic.we could see typical Turkish people and find some cheep restaurant around the hotel.
Location is 5min to Grand bazaar & 15min to blue mosque. Street was a bit rough around the edges but no problem. Caretaker was friendly & helpful. Nice rooms.
Very nice place, clean and new rooms.
Close to the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The owner is very friendly. I sincerely recommend.
The room was very big and comfortable with new furniture. The hotel is quite near to Beyazit tram station in Old city sultanhamet (less than 5 minute walking).
Overall we were really happy with our stay! When you first arrive, you check in with the caretaker who lives below the apartments. This could be an issue if you are checking in at odd times or if he is out. A quick call to the number on the letsbookhotel.com site lets him know you are there, but you need to have a phone to call with or specify your arrival time. We also had to pay with a card at the parent hotel located some distance away. Perhaps this will change in the future.
its a up and coming area and maybe the small family businesses can put you off but its fine!.
Its a bit musty in room 3. Would get onto some better ventilation.
No reception and no service (neither room cleaning nor towel replacement). Wifi signal was weak at the fourth floor. The surrounding area is a mess with very old buildings used to manufacture clothes or shoes until late night. The man in the ground floor that acts as receptionist tried to scam us while paying the room with the conversion euro-lira .
