This is the place if you want great location and staff with good rooms, and excellent value. Basically, if you're out in the old town during the day or want quick access to new city, this is the place to stay. Everything you need.

There is one word to best describe the Hotel's spirit: ali.... He is the hotel manager, and as soon as we arrived gave us great and useful tips about the city, greeting us with a welcome drink and a sweet. His english is really good, and he is ready to help you anytime you shall need. The room was comfortable and breakfast excellent. Not only ali, but the rest of the staff is friendly, without exception. Hotel is amazingly located!!!! Walking distance to SultanAhment square and on a street filled with restaurants, especially the Hatay Restaurant, close to the hotel. Ali, thanks from Brazil, we hope to see you soon! Only thing that was not so good was that the walls are thin, and we were unlucky with some local tourists that were very loud at night.... But even so, totally recommend

Rooms are comfortable. Mattress was especially comfortable. Location can't be beaten - just a minute walk to the tram and about 7 minutes walk up to Sultanahmet and about 5 minutes down to the water and the ferries. The staff were really attentive and friendly.

The hotel location is superb, only a few minutes walk to the main historical attractions, as well as the metro station. Ferry station is only a 10-min walk away. The neighborhood is lively with many great restaurants. Staff is super friendly and helpful, even gave us a little gift while checking out! Breakfast was a bit boring. Room is small.

Super Awesome Staff! Excellent location, speedy and efficient service Staff takes the time to sit down and talk to you when you first check in to explain what the city has to offer etc...and they give you a cute gift when you check out Another trash can in the room would have been useful, but otherweise no complains

The rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable. Reception staff was helpful and pleasant. Location of the hotel was excellent for getting around the sights and restaurants of Istanbul. Access to the shower would be tricky for those with even slight mobility problems. Although there was a wide range of foods at breakfast, reflecting Turkish style, it would have been nice to have a greater variety of fresh fruit.
