Works for me
Good location, friendly staff. A good price if you just need a place to sleep and shower. Also offer luggage storage.
The hostel was a great value - basic and clean with a friendly, helpful staff. It is a short walk to many important things to see. The van ride from hostel to airport was very cheap. It made the stay very easy! Only wifi on the first floor, but that is true in a lot of hostels. I was happy with my stay!
This is the second time that I stayed in this hostel; I like the youthful atmosphere of this place. I must admit that sharing a room with 9 other guys is rather difficult, but more than once I met some interisting travellers and enjoyed listening to their stories. The room is clean and the neighbourhood lively and close to all the most fascinating sites of this beautiful and charming city of Istanbul
Moreover the price for one night says it all
We can easily get to the Blue Mosque, 5 minutes by foot.
They offer us shuttle bus from the hostel to the airport.
The room is very clean.
Nothing to complain about.
Its nice place to live in that close to almost all city attractions.Within budget limit.Staff very friendly,ready to help all the time and very humble.
However i would recommend a small locker for each bed where atleast you can leave your valuables and fone on charge. As one dont know many of them you sharing room with,So everytime you move you move with them belongings. Also a single port for mobile charging in the room of 10 not ideal.
However to make a long story brief its good characteristics outweight them minor issues.
The hostel was centrally-located within walking distance of most tourist attractions off a side-street. The staff at the check-in was professional except that they didn't mention that there was no cover/blanket (for sleeping) in the room and I wasn't offered the option of renting any. Shared bathrooms were clean and spacious.

Barebones for a great price
Cordial house and hotel are in the perfect spot with a ridiculously short walk to the main tourist attractions. The hotel itself unlike the pictures on the website is a barebones establishment. Clean beds, shared bath, ac and wifi that only works in the lobby. If you want to see Constantinople, stay here. If you are interested in a comfortable stay, go elsewhere.
This is not a hotel. It is a hostel for those who want to share rooms with others. The room did not have a towel, TV(not expected but would have been nice) and no Wifi. Overpriced for a room with no bathroom.
The Guardian surpassed my expectations as far as safety and making me feel at home. The Management and especially our driver were very Professional and Very dedicated to their job..I'm definitely gonna recommend this hotel to My friends and Family..Its real close to the Pyramids and at night you can see the light show for free. The management will go out of their way to help you with the tours if you go that route and if you don't there is taxis all over. All you want to do in Egypt in a short time can be done through the Location of this Hotel and the People that run this Hotel are a Gem in Egypt.
Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace are all within 15 mins walk, tram station is jus 1 min. Easy to get to. The room is clean and the decoration is beautiful. But during my stay there are renovation work conducting near the hostel, and as it is close to the tourist attractions and the tram station, it can be very noisy sometimes.
Nice people. Good location: it is on Metro line, many places to eat, to buy souvenirs, pharmacy. Airport bus умукн 2-3 hrs.

More of a hostel than a hotel
The location of this hotel was great, only about 100m from Çemberlitaş metro station and Constantine's column, 10 minutes' walk from Hagi Sofia and the Blue Mosque. Desk staff were helpful. However, conditions were a lot more basic than I expected, e.g. no towels were provided, not even a hand towel in the bathroom. It's really a sort of youth hostel- great if you're travelling with a young group of friends, not so great if you're trying to get a good night's sleep undisturbed by groups of excitable teenagers.
