One of the best locations, right near all attractions like Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque etc. The rooms are not so big but the interior and design are very good! If you are travelling alone or with your couple then it will satisfy your needs.

Daniel United States of America

There is not a better location - right beside Topkapı Palace, with the historic walls visible right from the terrace, and around the corner from Hagia Sofia. The breakfast is varied and delicious, and the bed extremely comfortable. Engin and the other staff are so welcoming and helpful. And all for the same price as a private room at a hostel!

Riona Sweden

Staff: friendly, welcoming and available. Breakfast: SUPER! The morning lady bakes a different cakes everyday. Nice sorted breakfast. IT DOES NOT COME DISHED OUT, you can eat as much as you like. Room: nice and spacious for a couple. Location: close to the sea and to the two mosques and to the tramway.
