Maria Russia

The hotel is located in the historical center near the Saint Sophia Masque. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast has many varieties of food, e.g. lentil soup, eggs, fresh vegetables and cheeses, etc. The room is clean and bed is comfortable.

Olesia United States of America

Kim United States of America

the staff are amazing and very kind and helpful. The hotel feels like walking into a cozy and welcoming home and the room was super comfortable with a great balcony.

Steffanie United States of America

This hotel is a gem. So centrally located but quiet inside. Our room was really big and had a balcony with a superb view - fab fab! The hotel interior is so cute and you just feel at home. The staff are so friendly and really helpful. The quirky pavement cafe was just the icing on the cake! Loved every minute we spent there. Yes, there are steep stairs and this hotel is not five star but it would be my choice every time.

Jenny United Kingdom

The location was excellent and the staff were so friendly. The rooms are uniquely decorated and feel very homey. the place is great!

Jessie United States of America

Very cute eclectic style that you just wouldn't get from a chain hotel. Friendly, capable service. Amazing location with 10 min walk to the major tourist sites but still a quiet place to sleep. Lovely Turkish breakfast. Would return again and recommend to family and friends.

David United States of America

I very rarely leave reviews, but this place was perfect!! Amazing location, very nice employees, and the restaurant below was so good! We had the family room on the top level and it was large, with a great sized balcony. Perfect pick for our stay.

Lindsay United States of America

This is a hotel with truly unique antique style interior and exterior decoration and interesting building structure. I would prefer this style anytime over luxurious/functional hotels.
