It was wonderful! The view from the room was beautiful, the breakfast was very good, with a variety of options. The staff is incredible! Especially the reception staff and the bellboys (especially the blue-eyed guy who even made an effort to speak Portuguese) were polite, kind, and helpful. I hope to return one day, and it would definitely be here.

The personnel at the front desk is very friendly and helpful in arranging taxi transpota, giving directions for dinning , shopping , many other. I’ve stayed at the Yisam 3 times before & my experience has been acceptable. The only negative aspects I’ve encountered is that the bathrooms are very small. Also, the individual who supervises the terrace restaurant & daily breakfast is very unfriendly & sometimes rude without provocation. Dr. Carlos J. Bourdony

We loved the view from the restaurant the most. The menue was very Turkish (authentic) and I got tired of it after a couple of days. The sink was leaking in our room and the room was changed after several reminders. A lot of people are smoking around hotel (including staff). The room that we got as a replacement, had a door into internal backyard. We could not open the blinds because there were smoking men just outside of our door. This was weird. The hotel is nice considering that it is in the old town, but there are a lot of little things that need attention (mold and stains in the bathroom, missing molding and etc.) The beds were really comfy. Also...this is very typical for Istanbul - you may live in very nice building and then have ruines next to it. The same with the hotel. Some buildings on the same street looked like ruins.

Great stay and location!

Excellent location.. 6 minute walk to the Blue Mosque. Clean rooms and nice views. The only negative is that the walls are paper thin and you will be able to hear everything , and I mean everything that goes on in the next room.
