Thanks for making our first stay in Istanbul very nice!!

    Wouldn't reccomend if you have mobility issues as steep marble spiral steps to second and third floors so if this is an issue be sure to book ground floor courtyard area room.

    Traditional style building with character and charm. Ideally located within yards of Ag Sophia and Blue Mosque making it very convenient to visit main sites.. Clean and comfortable beds. Breakfast served in lovely basement restaurant with courtyard garden seating area Staff helpful friendly and polite. Good value for money, worthwhile upgrading to superior room if staying more than a night.

    The hotel is old and in need of renovation. The room was clean but shabby with paint flaking off the walls and electrical sockets hanging off their fastenings. The restaurant is inexpensive with a wonderful view of the sea, however, most guests smoked and the cigarette fumes were very off putting.

    Great location, surrounded by bars and restaurants, a short walk to the tourist attractions (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace) or to the Bosphorus where you can enjoy a stroll along the shore away from most of the intense traffic. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, especially Cengiz and Dilik who went above the expected level of service. Also, specials praise to Jan in the restaurant, a real credit to the hotel due to his charm and professionalism.

    One of the rooms smells like cat.

    We really like the restaurant at the top. The food was very delicious, the price was cheap, there was live music and belly dancer❤It was a wonderful night. We really enjoyed the staff at the hotel, especially the bellboy Bilal and the receptionist Muhammed🔝❤They were sooo supportive, smiling and kindly. They helped us for every question we had. They really deserve a bonus from the boss🙂

    Elegance rooms were a bit on the small side despite being more expensive than the standard rooms. The breakfast variety was a bit stale.

    Nicely renovated rooms. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent location in Sultanahmet. Good variety of restaurants within walking distance.

    The rooms were not large enough to accommodate my group list. Double beds, means two beds. They wanted my male quest to share one bed!

    location was fantastic, close to many significant tourist attractions, shops and restaurants,

    The first room we were given (standard double with twin beds) was extremely tiny, could probably serve only one guest. The bathrooms are very small. Sockets and appliances are very old.

    Breakfast was very nice and staff really helpful.
