Top location, cozy place and friendly atmosphere. Thank you so much to Abdul Rahim the receptionist for his help and smiley attitude!

Sergey Bulgaria

literally everything top notch.. Abdul Rahim at the reception is an amazing person. You need anything, he is there for you!!! Highly recommend this small yet wonderful hotel. The antiques and paintings placed at the hotel makes you feel you are in another world.

Staying at a small hotel in the heart of the historic district of Istanbul was a treat! This hotel only has 6 or so rooms, making it feel more like staying with family than at a hotel. We met friends from out of the country here and the hotel gave us a home base to visit - we enjoyed the lobby as well as the terrace (which has extraordinary views of both the sea and a private garden next door). The hosts helped us order food from local restaurants (which came fast and was delicious), arranged transportation to and from the airport as well as PCR tests for our travel. They also offered tea and shared recommendations with us for what to experience nearby. I hope to bring my husband back soon!

This is a small facility with 6 rooms only. It used to be a private residence. It’s located on a quiet street a couple of blocks from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, museums, and entertainment and shopping areas. The rooms are tastefully furnished, with comfortable beds, an electric kettle and a fridge. The staff are absolutely wonderful! Abdul, the manager, went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend this facility to independent travelers interested in cultural immersion.
