Theodosios, Greece

Perfect location in sultanhamet to visit main touristic locations.

Ali, United Arab Emirates

Helpful, friendly staff. Great location. Rooftop terrace offers great views of the Bosphorus.

Travel, Hungary

Location is superb- 7 min walk to Agiya Sophia and Blue mosque, 10 mins to Gulhane park and Archaeology museum/Top Kapi. 15 minutes walk or 2 tram stops (from Sultan Ahmet square) to Galata Bridge and piers from which the boats to Prince's Island and other destinations depart. Staff is very nice and helpful, no problems checking in etc., Serdar, the owner is super nice guy. The rooms are cozy and very clean, air conditioners work well. Terrace on the 4th floor offers breathtaking view of Istanbul and it is also where the breakfast is served. In the evening it's a perfect place to enjoy the views of the city with your friends or loved one. You can also bring food and have a late night snack there,sharing few bits with some local cats roaming nearby rooftops.

The size of the room, the lack of amenities and space made it feel tight and constricted. Not a place to stay and enjoy but just a place to stay the night while you escape to explore the city Washroom was very very tiny (shower space non existent but over the toilet)
