Inexpensive, well placed
I had seen some negative reviews about this hotel. I was looking for somewhere inexpensive and centrally located. This hotel fitted those criteria. It is a bit shabby and is currently being upgraded. I really hope they get permission for a restaurant in the rooftop - the views are spectacular. The staff were helpful and friendly. My room was good enough for a week long stay - any longer and I would have struggled with the lack of storage. The bed was comfortable and bed/bath linen was changed daily. Some reviews commented on the noise levels but a look at a map would have shown that it was in a busy area, near a mosque and close the tramline. Actually the nearness of the tram stop was a bonus. The call from the mosque was enjoyable. Any traveller with any sense would take earplugs anyway! I Didn't feel the need for them as I was exhausted at the end of each day. Some reviews commented on the grasp of English of the staff. It varied from good to poor but all were helpful and friendly (you get back what you give out). It wouldn't hurt to learn a bit of Turkish or recognise that many Turks in the tourist industry speak a number of languages. Overall this was a decent hotel.

Awful awful awful
BE AWARE before booking this hotel, I stayed in Dec 2012 and it was discusting. Shower didn't work, the heating didn't work, the room had a terrible odour. I cut my stay short because the condition of the hotel was so bad and booked in at another hotel. The staff were rude, the lift wasn't working properly. I hope I have explained as beat as I can, if you book this hotel expect the equivalent of 1 star

My Stay at Pamphylia
The room that I got was not what I expected from the pictures, but I had a private bath with a tiny shower, but it was Ok. The attention was good, I got service for the bed and the cleaning of the room and believe me They a Hones, I that weights a lot in my perspective. They always had a smile. I arrived early so I did an early check in, they young guys from the night were really helpful to the extent that one lend me his cell phone to make a call to my transport provider, this went above and beyond, he got a reprimand for doing so the last day I stayed from the guy that attended in the afternoon that was 30 something, that I didn’t like because the young guy was been really helpful, I exhort that kind of service and recommend the hotel. I provide everything you will need wile you a doing the tourist things and hardly ever you will be there. You will find al they best sites within walking distance and the best thing the Metro is a few steps away, this was truly convenient when I went to the Asia side and the other sites I wanted to visit and shop. The security in the surrounding area is great. They will receive you with a smile and always ask you if everything is ok, so recommendable. Also I used She tours excellent for getting to the sites recommendable also!!!. Enjoy my stay.

The Hotel Pamphylia has great personnel and is located in a great place, but the building itself need upgrading i.e. rooms are small, the lighting is poor, and some paint would help. That being said, I'd still recommend it, and will return again myself.

Avoid this hotel.
We stayed at this hotel for 9 nights, only because it was prepaid, otherwise we would have moved. We chose this hotel due to its location but there are at least 10 others in the immediate area. The location was good due to location near the public transportation. Based on other reviews, we weren't expecting much but our stay was very frustrating. There wasn't a single system in the room that worked properly. The hot water was unreliable, the hairdryer looked like it had already been in an electrical fire, the bathroom towel bar would only stay on the wall it we didn't use it. The shower doors in both rooms were not designed for the space so after each use the floor got completely soaked and the showers don't drain properly so if you're not careful it will overflow and the water issue is even worse. The cleanliness of the room was lacking, the floor didn't appear to have been cleaned in a while, even immediately after they cleaned the room. The bed was very hard which may appeal to some but the sheets don't fit the bed and they don't use mattress covers so if you stay here expect to wake up laying on the bare mattress. The fridge in our 1st room didn't work and in the 2nd it made noise but barely kept anything cool. The cable TV was temperamental due to improper wiring. At certain times of the day the room would fill with the smell of cigarette smoke. Although the maintenance staff was quick to check on defects the hotel's management did nothing to resolve the issues.

The room was quite a bit worse than the photos and description. We talked to the hotel manager and they agreed to give us a better room, but after three nights. But the people were very nice and friendly.

Super Value and EXCELLENT personal attention!
Our check in time was supposed to be 1pm. We arrived in Istanbul at 630AM, they invited us to have breakfast in the dining area, and they had our room ready for us in less than one hour! The breakfast at this hotel was included in the price. The buffet consisted of pastries, bread, hard-boiled eggs, vegetables, cheese, some cold cuts, yogurt, coffee, tea, and juice. excellent for price point! FREE wireless internet in the lobby!!! Again, something that you just don't normally get at this price in a hotel. The people who work at the hotel were what made this a little better than most budget hotels. The manager is very helpful in helping to find restaurants. The stewards are equally attentive, helping to resolve a plumbing issue quickly, finding us taxis, assisting in phone calls, loaning umbrellas, explaining the tramway, and recommendations for restaurants, shopping, etc. They were FIVE STAR in my book. The beds are rock hard. If you can't stand a firm mattress, you should pick another hotel. I could stand it for the price and location alone. The room was very clean, and the housekeeping very friendly. The furnishings were dated, older icky bedding, but clean, and comfy enough for the week we spent there. Location is unbeatable. Ten minute walk to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi and steps away from the tramline. Definitely would go back and recommend to a friend on a budget!

They Aren't Even Trying
Basically...you can do much better in this same part of Istanbul for the same price. Look elsewhere. The service was non-existent. Our room safe didn't work...we told the staff...they said they'd look at it the next day. They never did. The television didn't work. We heard another customer have a 45 minute argument with the desk staff over both his television and the WiFi not working. Staff doesn't greet you or seem to care that you're there. Most of the time they were sitting on the step of the entryway and barely made room for you to enter. They driver they sent to pick us up at the airport left his sign, but never returned. The location is pretty good...but loud...and the price is okay for the area. Still, there is also plenty of competition and these guys aren't even trying.

Good for the price
Staff are nice, warm and helpful. The hotel is clean and has a very good location: next to tramway and main attractions. Don't expect a lot for the breakfast and the shower cabin is small.

Bathroom too small
The worst thing about this hotel is that the shower place in all the rooms are way too small. I am well built guy and when I had to take a shower I couldnt move at all in the shower. Also they dont change bed sheets everyday or give you clean towels. Room service just straighten the sheets that were there before and fold your previous towels again for you to use...pretty disgusting! The breakfast is nothing special at all. No variety in food selection. The only thing good about this hotel is the location. Major attractions are very close to this hotel.

Great location with friendly staff but small rooms
We stayed here in April 2009 and were impressed by the location and how helpful the staff were. If we had a problem they tried there best to fix it straight away. The rooms do vary and I would recommend trying to get one facing the street as they are a bit bigger and seem to be better appointed. The other rooms are really too small for a couple to move around in. The rooms arent that comfortable and the shower is very small but there is plenty of hot water and everything else makes up for it. If you are looking for a hotel as a base for exploring the sights of Sultanmet then this is a good one. I would not recommend this to people looking for a romantic getaway or luxury as you really have to pay for that in Istanbul. Wireless is free but can be patchy on the upper floors. If you want advice the reception is fantastic and seems to know everyone.

Reasonable for the Money, Good Location
I stayed in this hotel for two nights in April 2009. I only considered staying in Sultanahmet as I wanted to be in the main tourist area of Istanbul. I consider myself lucky to have found this hotel as I only started planning the trip a few days prior to the flight and most of the alternatives were somewhat expensive to very expensive or other hotels that I knew of were already booked up. I'd recommend this hotel for transit or if you are traveling alone; the room was a bit too cramped for two people although, in fairness, they probably have bigger rooms. Furniture was old but that didn't bother me. On international standards, this hotel I would rate two star B. (Hotels in Istanbul I have observed to have star inflation of one star.) Ignore any negative reviews of this hotel but be modest in your expectations. Staff was friendly and accomodating.

God betjening, men:
Meget centralt beliggende hotel tæt på sporvogn, metro og store oplevelser. Værelserne var dog ikke særligt tillokkende, med megen støj fra elevator og naboværelser. Hvilket kan skyldes den igangværende ombygning af hotellet. Morgenmaden er simpel - men omvendt, hvis man har vælgt at bo billigt (og det er det) så får man nok også hvad man betaler for. Meget hjælpsomt personale.

Need to be renewed
The hotel and the rooms look very different from the photos we saw at hotels.com. The rooms need to be renovated urgently and were not very clean. Our stall shower flooded after 2 minutes of shower. The lift doesn't have the internal door! A good point is the location: five minutes walk to Aya Sophya and Blue Mosque and there are several restaurants around. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They really made a difference.

まあまあですが、立地は良いです。
メジャーな観光地へは近く、トラム駅などにも近く、立地はよいです。ただ、部屋が最小限の広さなのとシャワーが狭かったです。あと、金庫が冷蔵庫の上にむき出しで固定されずにおいてありましたので、実質無いのと同じかと思います。ついでに、お酒が飲める店が近くにあるものの、買える店を近所で発見できませんでした。近所のスーパーには無い。細かいことを気にしなければ普通に過ごせます。

På bestillingsovesigten fremgik der at hotellet var vurderet til 4 stjerner. Jeg er glad for at jeg kun skulle overnatte i en nat, idet vedligeholdelsen af hotellet er alt for dårlig, og herunder mangler m.v. F.eks. Barskab og opbevaringsskabe defekte, lampen over spejlet på badeværelset synligt i stykker, og fungerede ikke, badeværelsets loft var faldefærdigt, brusekabinen i stykker, ingen natlampe, og døren til badeværelset gik i baglås (godt jeg ikke var derinde!). Personalet var dog flinke og positiv involverede. Hotellet bør omklassificeres til blot 2 stjerner.
