Rumours Inn was one of our favorite hotels we stayed at! The breakfast had so many options, the staff was so friendly and helpful and they had a little kitty who used to welcome us anytime we went to our room and was the sweetest. The distance to Hagia Sophia and Blue mosque was very short, we walked to all the places. Felt very lively even in late evenings and felt safe to walk in the area.

If your looking for a 4 star standard hotel please don’t book here. The staff was nice and held our bags which was great and about the only great thing about the hotel and why they even got the 2 stars(I’d give a 1 otherwise). Firstly, the hotel is so hard to navigate. We only stayed here for 2 nights and every Uber had trouble locating it and getting their cars through the narrow road. It’s away from the main road so that makes sense. It is near beautiful views so I give them that. Secondly, the breakfast was greatly unacceptable and we had to go get something outside. Thirdly, the rooms were just horrible. The paint was peeling, the sheets smelled weird and the bathroom walls had severe water damage at the top. Everything was creaky and old and hotel doesn’t have a elevator. This hotel is at best a hostel and is not meant for those who want comfort through their travels. I booked this hotel because of the ravishing reviews but I have now begun to realize that these reviews must be manufactured or fake and I’m here to help you out. If you care about your comfort DO NOT BOOK WITH RUMOURS INN!!!!

Off the beaten track gem!
I made a last minute booking at Rumours. What a surprise awaited me! The hotel is located out of the way of the main tourist area, tucked away on a side street. The hotel has a steam punk vibe, very cool lobby with fish tanks, lots of seating and books galore. Very friendly and helpful staff! The room was fantastic, with a gorgeous bathroom. Breakfast was included and so generous! I would highly recommend this hotel if you are traveling to Istanbul.

Location is excelente related to the downtown but the physical location - street of access - es dirty and unattractive. The lobby decorations is sloppy and doesn’t invite you to sit down to relax. . There isn’t elevator or lift. I didn’t visit the terrace because it was inconvenient .The breakfast is super good and abundant and the staff is very helpful.

Great hotel, very quiet area, which was great as Istanbul is completely bonkers with traffic’s noise and people. Only complaint was the room smelt very damp and this transferred itself to our clothing. Apart from the dampness it’s a cracking place to stay.

This is a budget hotel in a back street area. That said it is perfect for exploring Istanbul 5mins walk to the Blue Mosque. The roof terrace has spectacular views and great to relax on after a hard day being a tourist. The rooms are basic but clean. Feels a bit like a hostel but how much time are you gonna spend there in this fabulous city. It dose feel a bit odd as the streets around it seem a bit run down and it’s not easy to find. But I would really recommend this as a great base to explore Istanbul and sleep.

The location of the inn is fantastic as it is situated next to both the sultanahmet mosque and the hagia sophia. It is also very close to the trams (5 min walk) which can take you around the city for pretty cheap. The facilities of the inn are pretty good considering the amount you are playing and i would go as far to say a bargain when factoring things such as, location of the inn and how close it is to shops, restaurants, grand bazaar and other tourist stuff. I would also like to add that the staff were very friendly and professional as if you needed help with anything they would try to resolve it asap. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and will love to stay here again when I visit in the future.
