    Clean budget hotel in the historic centre perfect for a short stay.

    The double room was still quite small and there wasn’t a lot of room to walk around. The Wifi on the second floor also was weak so I had to use my data allowance during my stay. Also some repairs are required in the room (weak air conditioning, loose toilet seat and loose shower head).

    Clean budget hotel a few minutes walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Decent breakfast and appreciated the 2 water bottles left in the room each day.

    Everything was great. Maybe the crossbar from the towel holder in the bathroom should be fixed. It would be great to have more coat hangers in the closet. That’s all. It was not a big problem.

    What a lovely little hotel with the cutest staff. Especially the breakfast lady. She took care every day of her guests to have fresh varieties of Turkish breakfast. (I had to try everything 😍) The room and the towels were super clean, everything needed was there! Also the design of the little room was great, a huge milk glas window separated the sleeping room to the bathroom. So the whole room was lightened. The big bed was comfy! The location was great right between little Hagia Sophia and the big one. It was quiet and easy to reach. I also felt all time very safe and welcome. Thank’s so much! I would definitely come again!

    Very clean, room was cleaned every day, towels changed, water in the fridge also replaced daily. Shower with very nice hot water, u just have to wait a few minutes. Very reliable wi-fi. Breakfast various and plenty! Staff and owner really nice and helpful. I was even allowed to stay after check-out time, as my flight was in the afternoon. There is a small supermarket across the street, also some shops and restaurants nearby. U need to walk on a steep but short hill to get to the UNESCO site which has The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace and the Basilica Cistern.

    The bed could have been a little more comfortable, but it was ok.

    We loved the daily room cleaning and new towels. Breakfast was wonderful, a buffet with plenty of choice. The host made freshly made pies, and the cheese sticks were heavenly delicious! I liked that there were attractions and public transport within walking distance.

    It was impossible to have good sleep - first days we heard crying baby from next room, another days we had very loud neigbors. They return at hotel about midnight and than they were talking loudy. Very uncool, I recommend earplugs. The shower area along the edge could be cleaned better.

    great location, you go up one hill and you are on the main square, the sea is even closer very nice sea view, but the view is spoiled by a dilapidated building next to the hotel every day cleaning very good breakfast, oportunities for vegatarians too

    Overall, I like everything here. Staff are very friendly, Mehmet especially is very helpful. Location is great, just 5 mins walk away from Sultan Ahmet Square where the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia are at. Room was comfortable, clean and bathroom is spacious. They have daily room service and give you fresh towels. And they have a rooftop deck where you can enjoy the beautiful view and sunset overlooking Fatih Pier, and also view of the Blue Mosque. Breakfast is a filling of assortments. Very satisfied! And recommended!

    I would not just probably recommend it to newly wed couples and corpulent people as Standart room size is really small. It's no problem at all for solo travelers like me.

    The hotel's location is just perfect, 5 min to Blue Mosque and again 5 min to the sea. The staff was so helpful, thanks a lot to Mehmed and all others. Breakfasts are unexpectedly very good. I was a bit afraid of noise from the street into the room but it was fine, and I didn't hear even the neighbores. A/C works well. Room was clearned every day. The bed is comfy, and bathroom as well. Forgot to mention amazing sea view. So great to see it right from the bed. Rooftop is great as well.

    Nothing except saying bye to he place.

    It is hard to say what I liked, for I absolutely loved everything. The room was exceptionally clean. The washroom clean and had hot water. The atmosphere was comfortable. The staff very willing to help. The breakfast delicious and huge. In a crowded area it was a hub of tranquility and calmness. The location was ideal, accessible to all key business and tourist attractions. The cherry on the cake was the owner. There was not a moment when I felt a stranger in the city. He was there to help me with what to eat, how to go around the city and what to shop. Laundry within three hours, affordable SIM, reasonable pick and drop. I can keep.om writing. I have stayed at other hotels, even a Hilton, no one comes close to this one in hospitality and customer care.

    The hotel is a little run down, could do with some little repairs here and there, like broken hangers in the bathroom or stained carpet in the corridor. There's no kettles in the rooms but instead a hot water machine downstairs in reception.

    The location is the best feature of this hotel! It's simply perfect, only a stone throw from the Hippodrome and Blue Mosque. The room was lovely decorated and very spacious, with all the hotel room and one needs. It was clean and esthetic. Breakfast was lovely, even for a vegan there were many options to choose from.

    Great location, a few mins walk from Blue mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi palace. I asked for a quiet room and Mehmet, the manager, was very accommodating. Great communication with him. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Perfect after a long day of walking and sightseeing. Aircon worked great. Hot and cold breakfast with good options.
