We have spent an unforgettable time in Istanbul in Early September 2013. Ascot house hosted us in a very friendly way. Its actually an apartment hotel, renovated in a very classic way. Rooms are very clean and the interiors are absolutely up to date. Thanks to miss GUL, who is very kind and very cooperative we had a pleasant stay in Ascot house. She does not speak English but it was easy to communicate with her.She is the one taking care of the house, and is actually doing it absolutely fine. Before our stay in Ascot house we spent a single night in a 5 star hotel, but bravely could state it was not as clean as Ascot house. She is also very cooperative and trustful. By the way hotel is located in an area not very close to Sultan Ahmet area,,, its a bit difficult in approach , even by taxi. Area is full of small restaurants and shops hosting daily life, which is also interesting to see along with the touristic regions. I would definitely spend my next vacation in Ascot house. Again would like to say many thanks to miss GUL for her kindness.
