It was an absolute pleasure staying at the Camelot hotel. Both the hosts, Eser and Maria, as well as the team, were extremely wonderful, welcoming, and helpful in everything that I needed during my stay in Istanbul. I traveled solo for the first time and was worried about not finding the right hosts for support, but the minute I walked into the hotel, all my worries were gone because of how wonderful the team was.
The rooms may be a little tight in general but it was perfect for somebody who spent most of the day outside and only came back for rest. The location is very good, it's literally only a few minutes away from the Hagia Sophia, and there are a whole bunch of good restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets for anyone to visit.
There were several times the taxies in Istanbul would try to scam me for more money, so Eser and the team would make sure they provide their own personal taxies, which I highly recommend taking if you're going to travel a long distance to the other side of town. It may cost a tad higher but definitely takes away your worries from being taken advantage of as a tourist. (That's my personal honest opinion).
I'm so glad I got to stay at that location because not only was it a smooth stay, but I also walked out with the opportunity to make friends with the staff from the hotel, who I personally would be visiting again when I'm back in Istanbul.
I highly recommend staying at Eser's.
