Kitchen was fully equipped. Had several restaurants walking distance. The grand bazaar is about a 12 minute walk away. Several great shopping options on the side streets walking up the hill to the grand bazaar that are way cheaper with same products. There is a grocery store in the same street 2 minutes away walking. Fresh fruit and vegetables available. There isn't an elevator so if you have a lot of luggage consider booking the first floor suite. Very convenient. The front desk clerk or male housekeeping staff will carry up to other floors. Doesn't have traditional comforter so room was a bit cold. Does have heater but didn't really warm up enough. So depending on your time of year to visit you may need heavy pajamas.

I stayed at the Capricorn Apartments for 2 nights with two friends and we really liked it - for the excellent value, Istanbul was generally expensive and this apartment was a great deal. The small apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed, including a small efficiency kitchen. Abdalah at the front desk spoke perfect english and was easy to understand and super responsive and helpful in booking sunset cruise, taxi service and anything we needed.
The location can be a little hard to find, with small streets that appeared to be very often blocked by delivery trucks and we had to walk up a few flights of stairs (so anyone who isn't quite mobile may have a harder time here but we thought it was great). It's a short walk from the main area of SultanAhmed and close to the Grand Bazaar.
we would definitely stay again. thanks.

I had a pleasant 5-day stay in Capricorn. For a very reasonable amount, I had a large room, refrigerator, microwave, hot plate and strong internet. Water pressure was good. There are a number of grocery stores nearby so you can shop and prepare your own food. The location allowed me to simply walk to tourist sites like Hagia Sophia, the former Hippodrome and the Sultan Ahmed mosque. Places a little more distant like Galata or Taksim Square can be reached via the T1 tram. The Cemberlitas stop is close by.
There are, however, two things that travelers should note. From the Cemberlitas stop to Capricorn there is a very steep incline. This is manageable if just walking but was a challenge when I had my luggage with me. So if you have mobility limitations, this will not be the hotel for you.
The second thing is that there are no elevators and there is only a narrow set of winding stairs. Again, this was manageable for me but may be difficult for others.

Decent rooms
Pros: excellent location: walking distance from major historical sites, shops, restaurants…
Cons: streets can be noisy at night as well as other customers. The toilet flush was broken but managed. It is not easy to access the hotel as the streets are stiff.
I had an unpleasant first encounter upon my arrival for check in to discover that the room they tried to give me wasn’t what I booked on hotels.com they tried to give me a basement room while the one I booked was with view. They ended up giving me the room on the 5th floor which I booked on the website as if it was an act of kindness.

Highly recommend!
I'm loving it here so much that I've booked extended stay. The manager is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are lovely. The area is full of shops, restaurants and a park just around the corner. Easy walking distance to centre of Sultanahmet, but enough distance to be quiet here. I can't fault this place. There are also trips and tours available at reception. The cleaner comes in every day. She even washes any dishes I've not done from night before. I originally booked for 1 week to see if I like it. Now extended it to 3 so far. I love being able to cook for myself. The shower is amazing, almost gives me a massage, so soothing. It's on an incline but not too bad as I can manage it and I'm physically disabled. Everywhere else is flat walking in the surrounding area. I highly recommend this place. If I ever return to Istanbul I'd definitely be staying here again. The price is so reasonable for what it is. So glad I found this place! My pics are from first room. I'm in a larger one on ground floor now. Much easier to access without the stairs. But tbh, the stairs are not too bad.

The hotel is central to many of the big sites in Istanbul. It’s attached to a travel agency. The reception desk staff is very helpful. Room itself was ok. There was black mold in the bathroom however and women’s hair on the towels and kitchen sponge. Could have been cleaner.

Oda görsellerde gösterilen gibiydi. Temizdi fakat giriş 14:00 ve biz 15:00’da otele giriş yaptık geldiğimizde bizi bekletip odayı kontrol etmeye gitti görevli. Check-in öncesi bu kontrollerin çoktan yapılması gerekiyordu. Ayrıca görevli Türkçe bilmiyordu. İletişim olarak zorlayıcıydı. Bu iki durum haricinde konaklama güzeldi.
El hotel est muy bien situado y muy cerca de las zonas turisticas. La fotos que aparecen en la aplicación, no tiene nada que ver con la realidad. Mobiliario muy deteriorado, paredes sucias y el baño deja mucho que desear. Si hubiese sabido el estado real de la habitación, seguro hubiera elegido otro hotel.
La cama si era comoda.
