What impressed me most has been the kindness of the staff, always prompt to fulfill our needs and requests. The position is very central and the building has a nice style and a beautiful terrace for breakfast/dinner. Two very minor negative points: a bad smell of the tolilet on the first day, that has been quickly fixed however; the lack of croissants in the breakfast, that had enough cheese, sausages and vegetables but was poor as far as the Italian breakfast manner is concerned.

I lived in the hotel for 1 week and I had a very happy stay here.They gave me a reasonable price.The staff are kind,considerate and helpful.The hotel has excellent location,you can walk to the Topkapı Palace and AyaSofia from the hotel in no more than 2 minutes.the decoration of the hotel is very exquisite;my room is on the 4th floor.it is clean and lovely,with wonderful seaview from the balcony;the heater is warm enough in this temperture,which is not very common in other economic hotels I stayed during my vacation in Turkey. bad smell from the bathroom;breakfast are the same every day.

The staff and the location are superb. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful - glorious view, a simple but more than adequate breakfast and helpful staff. Not only is the location good for the major sights it is also good for reasonably priced, good quality restaurants There is no lift and the stairs - a spiral staircase - are a bit treacherous. The walls and doors are quite thin so if your neighbours at all noisy you can hear them clearly. I needed to change my room as my neighbours had two small chiildren who cried a great deal. The hotel staff could not have been more understanding or helpful

Exceptional service from all of the staff; they went out of their way to make our stay memorable and personal. Rooms are quaint, have character and very clean. Location is outstanding for the major sites of Sultanehmet. Beautiful rooftop terrace for breakfast and a relaxing place to sit out front for a cold beer when we returned from sightseeing. i would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a reasonably priced great place to stay in Istanbul.

In the heart of the most interesting part of an interesting city, this is great value, with a wonderful staff, perfect location, nice breakfast and a good, clean, tidy, well-maintained room. Considering how crazy the neighborhood is with cafes, restaurants, shops, and tour buses, this is a remarkably quiet oasis just a block or so from everything you could want. A 5 min walk to the tram stop if you want to go to other parts of the city. Very good breakfast every morning on the roof top overlooking the Bosphorous was a highlight of the trip. Mehmet and all the staff spoke good English and were lovely and helpful in every way. I look foward to returning. It was perfect for us, but you should know that it does not have an elevator so be prepared to walk up the spiral staircase to your room on the second or third floor and the breakfast room on the 4th floor. If my 91 yr old mother could do it, so can you! Also, if you are expecting a spacious room with arm chairs to lounge in, you will be dissappointed, this is a fine, clean utilitarian room in a dense city.

All equipments in this hotel and all services are "cheap", the door like carton made us participate to the life of our neighbours, the shower was so lauzy, the breafast terrible quality, orange juice just a yellow water etc...Except the funny parrot the stay in this "palace" was so frustrating.

Very helpful staff, excellent views from roof, good food in restaurant. Perfectly placed to visit the attractions. A very pleasant stay. Only one very small concern was that if we didn';t leave the window in our room open the room smelled a little bit of drains.

Das Hotel ist ein Familienbetrieb in welcher die Gastfreundschaft großartig zu spüren war. Das Hotel ist 2. Minuten vom Palast entfernt. Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit Balkon. Der Ausblick war gigantisch! Der Hotelbesitzer ist ein interessierter Künstler und ein angenehmer Gesprächspartner. Wir sind sehr begeistert und werden künftig das Hotel öfter nutzen.

Ottima posizione per visitare la città e soprattutto molto silenziosa nonostante si trovi in pieno centro storico.Discreta colazione servita in una bella terrazza.Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo . La mancanza di un ascensore potrebbe essere fonte di problemi per persone anziane o disabili

Mi mázlisták voltunk, a 4. emeleten kaptunk szobát ahonnan jó a kilátás a Márvány tengerre. Lift viszont nincs, de segítenek felcipelni a bőröndöt. A reggeli átlagos, nem változatos, de elfogadható. A tetőteraszos étterem kellemes. A recepción van Jákó, a papagáj aki szelíd, hagyja magát simizni. Törölközőt naponta cseréltek (pedig nem dobtuk le), ágyat egyszer húztak újra egy hét alatt. A franciaágyon egy nagy közös paplant kaptunk. A fürdőszoba elég szűkös, de jól felszerelt (403. szoba). Az ajtó zárja nem tűnt túl biztonságosnak. (néha magától kinyílt). Ezzel együtt semmi sem tűnt el. A teraszon a szép cirádás öntöttvas széken elkelne egy párna.

Die Lage des Hotels ist hervorragend: ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß zur Blauen Moschee, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palast. Zur Straßenbahn sind es ca. 10 Minuten. Das Personal war immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war klein und beengt.

Hôtel très bien placé près des monuments les plus visités, avec un personnel très éfficace, et au contact facile. Le restaurant au dernier étage en terrasse donne sur le Bosphore. On y sert une bonne cuisine à des prix raisonnables. Petit déjeuner très bien. Je retiens cet hôtet pour un prochain voyage à Istanbul. Peut-être quelques bruits de rue le matin, qui peuvent réveiller certains dormeurs un peu tôt. Problème annexe, par rapport à l'excellente situation de l'hôtel dans le quartier de Sultanahmet.

La amabilidad y atención del personal. Desayuno y cena de excelente calidad. La habitación en general, excepto el armario que lo encontramos pequeño para dos personas. A mi en particular me encantó el loro que tienen en recepción, nunca he encontrado en ningun hotel una mascota tan simpática y habladora. El armario es pequeño para una habitación doble, tendría que tener más capacidad.
