    No negative remarks from us with my fiancee.

    The location is excellent, less than 5 minutes from Sultan Ahmet Mosque, breakfast is perfect, the room is comfortable, clean and well arranged. The team is one of the bests I met, careful and explainable of all questions you may have.

    The hotel is very close to the main attractions Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque (5-7min walking distance) and easy to find. Yasin and Yunus were very helpful and told us helpful tips about the attractions of the city. Very good breakfast. All in all, we had a pleasant experience, we will definetely come back.

    Everything was at the highest level of service, we liked absolutely everything.

    The hotel exceeded all our expectations. Even though the hotel is located in a tourist area close to most tourist attractions, it was very quiet both day and night. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable. Thank you very much to the owners! They helped and advised us at all the necessary stages of our stay in Istanbul: what to see, where to have a tasty and inexpensive lunch, where is the best place to change currency, where to find parking for a car, etc. The breakfasts were delicious. It was unexpected to see ruins under the glass floor on floor -1, where the breakfasts are provided. Thanks once again to all the hotel staff for your responsiveness and creation of a pleasant atmosphere!

    The cold water knob in the shower was twisting loose and not easy to use.

    Good location for the old town and major monuments. Wonderful room, big with many windows. Quiet (except disco music until late from a nearby place on Saturday night), good breakfast.

    The shuttle pickup from the airport was rather complicated and took a while, however, my shuttle to the airport was prompt and dropoff was simple.

    Beautifully decorated rooms, and you can't beat the location - walking distance from all the nearby tourist sites so you can beat the rush. Breakfast was huge and delicious, it could accommodate plenty of diets.

    This Hotel located close around 10 minutes to top attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia & Topkapi Palace. Plus, there are Bazaar and small convinience shop nearby too. Best things happened to me in the hotel is that: The Gentleman at the counter let us to have early check in as we were so exhausted from almost one day travelling from Madinah & the Breakfast i love it for its variety! I 'll miss this place surely 🥹

    Location is great to visit the old part of istanbul. The only thing to be improved is the daily cleaning service (the toilet toilet wasn’t properly cleaned)

    Very comfortable stay, and very friendly staff. When we arrived, Yassine gave us a map and showed us the most visited areas around istanbul. He also offered us a room upgrade due to the very long taxi delay. Breakfast is also excellent, with delicious coffee and tea. The hot egg dish was delicious(was available on 2 days of our stay). Would appreciate adding more hot dish options though(some days it was just fries). You also get free water bottles. The location was 10 minutes away from the touristic mosques. Walk to nearest tram station was also 10 minutes.
