Oba Hotel — Hotel in Fatih

The title says it all. On arrival we were given a triple room that was made of a doble bed and a run down sofa bed, Ok not ideal, but can live with it.||Floor is made of wood therefore you can hear the structure ckrackling all the time when people in other rooms walk or move around, Ok, again not the best if you´re hoping for some rest, but not the worst.||||Pillows and matters need a good upgrade, necka and backage guaranteed after one night in these beds, sheets were dirty, the badrooms really needed some cleaning and ideally some work to get rid of the stains of humidity.||||In the 4 nights we stayed the room was not done once, only when we told the reception guy that towels needed to be changed.||||On the last night we were told that we needed to change rooms, and were moved to an even smaller room, after trying to explain to the person in reception that this was not ideal, he started shouting and not letting us talk or explain. His rudness and unwillingness to provide a solution to his own fault was the last straw.||||I wouldnt recomend this place, there are many other options available at cheaper prices. Regardless of our experience, which may have been unlucky the hotel lacks any facilities, the rooms are old and dirty and the personal are nothing but unwelcoming.||||AVOID...

The only good thing about this hotel is the location, but it has definately seen better days. The hotel looks to have been a residential house in the past. The house was clearly converted to a hotel. From the past reviews I'm assuming the hotel was very nice and clean. Not so much now. The rooms are large enough but dated. We were a rather large group so we had rooms on the second and third floors. And carrying large suitcases up to the third floor was definitely a workout. The rooms on the third floor had signs of previous water damage. The ceiling was cracked and peeling fron the damage. There was also water marks and mold in the bathrooms. The towels were very hard and rough to the touch. The lobby was basically run down and dated. The hotel is really within walking distance from the Blue Mosque and thr Grand Bazaar. But be prepared, there are a lot of hills to walk up on cobblestone streets. We stayed a total of 30 hours. Any stay longer than 24 hours is not recommended. If you like soft sheets and towels or rooms without mold this is not the...

Oba Hotel is an exquisite, boutique hotel in the heart of the old city of Istanbul. My husband and I stayed at the hotel for the last two years and we intent to come back. The most welcoming feature of the hotel, is his host, Ayhan, who is exhibiting every bit of warm hospitality, professional attitude, accommodation and friendliness toward his guests. He is kind and amenable to assist in booking trips from the airport to the hotel, room accommodations, excursions in the city and around, as well as to extend his professional advice just about anything in Istanbul and Turkey. It was a real pleasure to have him as our host. Thank you, Ayhan.

Oba Hotel is a cozy place, decorated in typical Turkish style: intricate woodwork on the doors, stained glass windows, traditional Turkish furniture, etc. Free Wi-Fi is included, PCR was arranged at the hotel upon guests’ request. We would highly recommend this place for a stay over in Istanbul for its welcoming host, its well maintained and decorated interior and...
