Rucksana, 9-night trip

4/10 Fair

The only good thing about this place is the cats outside. We checked in and learned shortly after that the room didn’t have air conditioning or hot water. (Air conditioning is listed as an amenity). The staff was nice and moved us to a new room that had both. However, the rooms are very dirty, look like they’ve never been cleaned. The bathroom leaks and always has water on the floor. There was a scorpion in the shower and mold on the comforter. They are also currently doing construction and were banging for hours on end, often starting at early hours in the morning. It’s a place to sleep so if that’s all you need, it checks that box. It is affordable so you get what you pay for but it doesn’t look like the photos and the cleanliness is an issue that cannot be overlooked. I’m all for budget travel but I would not recommend, just feels dirty. The staff also made us pay in cash which we did not know in advance. They told us their credit card machine was broken when we arrived. When we booked via Expedia, it said we would be paying by card. Not an issue to pay in cash, but it would’ve been nice to know ahead of time so we could better prepare, especially as foreigners who have to deal with high ATM fees. The staff did give us some time to get cash but it was still unexpected. The cats outside though are very kind and sweet.

It was so fun waking up at 5 in the morning to the Call to Prayer from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque! I didn't think we could hear it from Piya, but we COULD! So cool! Plus an alleyful of adorable stray cats. Eye candy! We had trouble finding it, but it was so neat asking locals, and the last one we consulted knew exactly where it was. You go through a tunnel to get there. So many flowers in bloom en route. The next morning we had fun poking around the streets en route to our ferry ride to the Tulip Festival. Piya is very near a bus top by the Bosphorus Sea which goes to Eminou ferry. Really interesting walking district there. There is no breakfast, but you feast your eyes on all the sights and sounds, and that is good enough for me. The sweet host met us at 11:30 p.m. to show us to our room. I hope we can return someday. It's quaint and fun. LOL!

Good but not great
Nice location in a quiet area really close by the main attractions in Sultanhamet. Service has to be improved though, we wanted to check in at 4pm and the room wasn’t ready, and when we did check in the room was outside the main building : cold (heater was not working) and almost no wifi signal. Overall not bad for the price you pay as the room was comfy and clean, but there’s room for improvement.

Piya old town
Vey quiet hostal quiet area of old town not a bad location to sultan hamet and surrounding area. No breakfast due to coronavirus so they said no cooking or washing facilities. But generally friendly staff. The manager liked you in by 12 midnight as he likes his sleep. I enjoyed the quietness of the hostal.

Good value for money
I stayed in the 8-bed dormitory. There was a small fridge and a storage cabinet as well but you should bring your own lock. The place is a bit old and small but not dirty and unclean. Wifi and breakfast is good and the location is wonderful. If you're comfortable with making a little sacrifice in overall comfort and luxury this is the place for you. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I'm happy with my stay.
