Very polite and helpful staff. They always tried to help in everything. Very special and authentic design of the rooms. Amazing garden!

It’s a very authentic place with traditional interior, located in the heart of old Istanbul. You have Topkapi palace, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Cistern in 5min walk distance. Friendly staff will help you with every request, and are available 24hours. Tasty breakfast, although due to COVID the choice of dishes is not very extensive. Nice calm garden to recharge after walking though Bazaars and staff. Highly recommended for any type of traveler.

Nice location, friendly staff always ready to help. Nice decoration of valuable old objects giving character to the place

Amazing hotel with one million view, very hospitable and helpful staff, excellent breakfast, the best location. I enjoy my stay in Istanbul. Thanks a lot! Highly recommend for a solo tourists.

I like people working here, i arrived late in the evening and man in glasses met me, helped with luggage. He been helping me every day answering all questions with passion and will to help. His kindness and politeness made my stay special. Wonderful two cats Sophie and Bob always will stay in my heart. Design of the hotel absolutely meets my own style in furniture, art, history. Thanks to owners to keep it special in each details. Views from the balconies and roof tops are breathtaking. Breakfast is superdelicious, girl who serve it is very nice person. Tables in private garden with fountains impressed me a lot. Room was very clean every day, i liked natural soap in my bathroom. Location right next to two Mosques, Topkapi and tram station is best for first stay in city. Cafe and restaurants are very close too, like a small nice bazar.

The hotel is very well located and very clean. And of course the most amazing part is a garden inside the hotel. The staff is realy friendly and willing to help. Breakfast is also very good.I would definitely recommend it!

The hotel is situated near the old mosque and very near to St Sophia in the old Turkish townhouse. The jewel of the hotel is a little garden shaded by the palm trees with little marble tables and a ruin of the old Turkish bath on one side. Lovely place. We had our breakfast in that garden which was a very romantic addition to a day stay in Istanbul. We had a free upgrade of our rooms to the rooms with garden view which was very pleasant. Would stay in the same place if would come back to Istanbul.

This wonderful gem in the middle of Sultanahmet is very centrally located with every historical sites within walking distance.. And the highlight was the very old garden and our balcony faces this magical space... Breakfast was very good.. The carrot cake was yum.. And the lady at the reception was kind enough to guide us with information.. Cats are friendly.. Altogether, we are very happy with our stay..

The people were superfriendly and helpful with any inquiries I had, the location is superclose to the most important locations of Istanbul and has a nice rooftop with a nice view of the Mosque and river.

The hotel had loads of character, ideally located for all the major sites, the breakfast was delicious, the staff were charming.
