Overpriced hotel in a good location. Basic and small rooms. Pictures looked better than the actual property. You can hear all your neighbors. Comfortable beds and a/c worked well. Breakfast terrace with amazing view but only average food. Great service from every employee.

From the moment we got to the hotel we were greeted by very friendly staff. Great hospitality and took care of all our needs. Special mention for the staff at breakfast Gokhan and Sevci always had a smile. Great location to explore a beautiful cultured city

Needing some maintenance
We stayed in a triple room which was fairly close to the photos except for the following: the grout in the shower walls had mold and there were cracks around the drain. On the beds there was no top sheet rather only a thin blanket. So in all the room felt like it needed maintenance. Apart from this the breakfast area on the roof had an amazing view of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia plus the breakfast had a good variety.

The room we booked was extremely tiny. Two people with luggage could barely fit in it. The hotel had no availability to upgrade and refused to refund the balance. We were very unhappy.

Highly recommend
We stayed at Rast for a long weekend to do some sight seeing and soak up the culture of Istanbul. The hotel was in a great location just round the corner from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Despite being in the perfect tourist location it was quiet so we had no problem sleeping. The reception staff were really helpful -providing maps and advice about where to go and they even phoned a restaurant for us to say we were running late. The breakfast was lovely -with many options (meze, cooked breakfast and continental). The views from the restaurant on the 6th floor were amazing-it looks right over the mosques and the city! We ended up sitting there for ages just taking them in. The staff were all helpful and smiley.

Initially we booked this hotel for 3 nights (rooms 404 and 405), from Sept 11 - 14, however we extended the stay for an additional night (for the night of the Sept 14 to leave on Sept 15), as we realized we wanted to see many sites in Istanbul. Unfortunately, we had a medical emergency in Romania, where a 93 years old mother got sick and needed our attention. Hence, we had to leave urgently on the morning of Sept 14. Since we did not use the additional night booked via Expedia, we asked for a refund. When we left we also asked the concierge to place a note in the file that we had an unforeseen medical emergency. We called Expedia and they were willing to help and contact the Hotel manager (Ahmed). Unfortunately, the hotel manager was unreachable for at least 2 weeks and when, finally, Expedia was able to talk to him, he REFUSED the refund, with a ridiculous reason that they were not told 24 hours in advance. I want to make it clear that we had an unforeseen medical emergency and these are NEVER planned. Also: we drove to Istanbul and our car was parked in front of the hotel (20 Euro per night), so they requested to have the spare key at the front desk. When we left, after we paid for the 'parking', they did NOT give us the spare key back. Being in a hurry to leave, we did not even think of asking for that. Long story short: it was sent to us in about 10 days after we left. The hotel rooms and especially the bathrooms need some serious renovations. Not a 4 star hotel.
