Host and the location. stayed with family and a 1 year old baby, It was very homely feeling at the guest house and will prefer to stay here again. They even prepared hot milk for the baby everyday, and were very comfortable with the tantrum of babies 🙃

Everything was perfect from friendly stuff to perfect location.

Zoran United Kingdom

Perfect location. View from the terrace to both Marmara sea and Hagia Sophia (and my room had a beautiful veiw to Marmara sea). Cozy and authentic interior. You feel natural, similar feeling I only had in one hotel in Paris that was centuries old. Many nice touches in the interior. Welcoming and kind of strict manager :) Note the books on one of the photos - there's been quite an amount of study done :)

Right in the Sultanahmet, can see the Sofya Mosque from my window. Lovely people who runs the guest house. Very helpful. Very cosy place.

Lovely hosts and friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast was excellent and the area for dining was delightful. Location is superb with a very short walk to Sultanahmet Square. I really enjoyed my stay.

Merrin New Zealand

The hosts and hospitality was amazing. Breakfast was also good and the lady at the guest house was very kind and helpful.

This was my second time stayed here. I had very warm welcome from the night shift staff as I arrived quite late. It was very good as the last stayed.

Hai Australia

Everything....location...price...friendly staff...and 10sq meter balcony just for us. I insist on the superb location...5 minutes to Topkapi and the 2 mosques...ideal to be there at the opening and avoid gigantic queues.
