We stayed for 4 nights - three nights in a private room and one night in a dorm. The private rooms were very clean and comfortable and the dorm has a great ocean view and a terrace. We really had a pleasant and enjoyable stay! The people who work there are very friendly and helpful - full of transportation and... More

The location is very comfortable and near to the most touristic attraction of the city. The rooms are very simple and small. The bathroom is not adequate, very old and with poor furniture. There is no terrace because the one that was available is now allocated as additional room. The breakfast consists in some bread, 1 egg, butter and jam... More

Ilker guesthouse is a lovely place. We were welcomed by warm hospitality from Ilker and his staff. Ilker was very friendly and helpful and full of recommendations and useful suggestions for traveling around Europe. Breakfast here is delicious and substantial and his staff members are very sweet and lovely to talk to over a cup of tea. Perhaps the hostel... More

My husband and I stayed here in a double room for 3 nights. The hostel was great. Very clean, decent breakfast, friendly staff. The manager gave us good travel advice, and kindly offered to mind our heavy bag while we visited other areas of turkey for 2 weeks. The guy who works nights had limited English, but was also very...

We stayed there for 8 days. It is a perfect budget hotel. The manager was very helpful. He made us feel like at home! Very near to the Blue Mosques and Hagia Sophia. Around 5-10 minutes walk. It is also near to the beach. You can jog and play there. The sunset is very nice for those who love photography.... More

We stayed here for about 5 nights during our trip throughout Europe. Easily the most welcoming host we have had anywhere. The double room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the price was below what we would've paid at a hostel. We also slept two nights in the dorm room upstairs which was lovely and open and had a beautiful... More

We stayed here for a 7 day holiday in Istanbul and it was perfect for our needs. It is situated very conveniently for reaching the main sights of the city, being fewer than ten minutes on foot to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. As other reviews have said, the owner Ilker, was very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts... More

We stayed at Mavi Onur for 3 nights in Istanbul. Ilker, the manager, is really helpful and was able to arrange a transfer for us from the airport at a reasonable price so arrival at the guesthouse was straightforward and painless! As it seems to be common with most small guesthouses, the stairs are narrow and winding, so not the... More

For 12 days, I stayed at the Mavi Onur Guesthouse. Firstly, I should bring to your attention that it is a guesthouse: accommodation is simple, and many of the amenities you would expect from a proper hotel won't be found here. The Mavi Onur gets an Excellent rating, in my opinion, if evaluated as a hostel / guesthouse. As mentioned... More

The place is run by a family. The owner is very nice and helps with informations for anything but the room we had wasn't very good. It was a twin room at the entry level, high humidity (quite stinky) with an old toilet with sewer smell.... there was a door to an internal balcony with washing machine and stocked stuff,... More
