    Inflation is still too high throughout Turkey. Unfortunately, prices have more than doubled in just a few years. At this rate, it will soon be more expensive there than in Norway. What effect will this have on tourism?

    The hotel is located a few minutes from the Blue Mosque and is a good "base" for walking around all the famous sights in Fatih. The room was clean and if you book "Deluxe Family Room" you will certainly be satisfied. All staff are professional and friendly with the right amount of flair. I appreciate the two very hard working ladies who made sure the breakfast was delicious every day. It would have been nice if I could have stayed longer...

    There was a little problem with the door of the shower cabin, but it can be fixed with the right sealing on the edges of the door

    The staff was really friendly, attentive and helpful in any time of the day. The ambient was also nice, not far from the public transportation and some must-see-spots of the area. Shops are also really close. Nice interior design of the hotel, antique.

    Rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment. Fridge was on but wasn’t really doing the job.

    Great location, very central and close to all major attractions. Nice and helpful staff. Rooms of decent size, bed very comfortable. Pleasant breakfast on the roof terrace. Delicious tea and coffee and cake in the reception, free of charge for the customers

    We cached some rainy, windy days. Our suite 501 was on the top floor, and it was "exposed" to nature's force. Because of the poor isolation of the walls and the terrace door, the wind howled in the room, and the rain soaked the carpet all the way by the balcony's sliding door, especially next to the bed.

    The hotel is in the middle of everything, at a short walking distance to the main landmarks. The facility of the room was as per expected, stylish furniture, warm and confortable.The suite was cleaned every day, and the towels changed, but in the last 2 days, they forgot to put amenities in the bathroom. The breakfast was amazing, nice variety and tasty.

    The large bed was actually made of two single mattresses, it was a bit interesting for a couple to share. The duvet was a bit small.

    The location is great. The breakfast is phenomenal!

    Be aware that the property is quite rundown although this is reflected in the price. One of our rooms had holes in the carpet and the wooden door frames were crumbling in places. Stairs are steep but there is a lift.

    The location is really handy for major sites and you can see the Blue Mosque from the windows. Breakfast on the terrace had a wide variety of options although speaking personally I’m not in love with filtered coffee. Rooms were a good size and very clean.

    Although this is not the fault of the hotel, people with light sleep could be disturbed sometimes from the noise in the street which is a side effect of the hotel being in a central location with many restaurants nearby which are open until late in the night.

    The staff is extremely helpful even when they couldn't understand us properly due to language differences, they tried their best to communicate with us. Further the location which is a few minutes walk to Sultanahmet square is excellent and the view from the terrace during breakfast was a welcome surprise. To sum it up, it was a really good stay for a few days in Istanbul.

    Soundproofing could be better. Was not a problem for us ( moreover it added more authenticity) after the whole day walking, but seagulls on the roof, wind, rain are well audible.

    Nice and cozy hotel just in few minutes walk from main sightseeings. Very helpful and friendly stuff had recommended wonderful Hamam with free transfer.sufficient and tasty breakfast with perfect view on the Bosphorus.nice and comfortable room, well equipped , clean. Sofa is really great! Wonderful balcony view. would definitely stay here next time! Many thanks to the stuff!

    At the reception, very friendly staff in all three shifts, they lent us chargers and things we needed. They gave us information for excursions. The breakfast, very varied, all the options were very tasty, typical Turkish and also Western food. It's a buffet. The room and bathroom were always clean.

    The room that we stayed in, probably it was a smoking room before, because you could stiil feel the cigarettes smell.

    The hotel is located in the city center, walking distance to all tourist attractions. It is small, but very cosy. We had a very nice stay!! Thanks to all the staff for making our stay so comfortable.
