It didn’t have a lift, I think we missed that info when we booked.. broken phone, we tried to request for late check out as we stayed only for a night and so exhausted the next day after Cappadocia travel.. and maybe due to language barrier, the cleaning lady was scowling at us and loomed over the door to hurry our packing, so stressful!

In the heart of Istanbul—many sites are within walking distance or close to train. Room was very clean and according to description. Loved the open terrace breakfast spot, beautiful space with partial views of Zeynep and Hagia Sofia mosques. No lift and the old person at the front desk when we checked in close to midnight was such a darling for carrying are suitcases! He was so insistent (we thought he’s going to break his back!), we literally have to tug-o-war the luggages from his grip!

Perfect location place - all in few min walk around. Clean, beautiful hotel, terrace was amazing as well! I was traveling to Istanbul with my child and mom for my birthday trip and hotel upgraded my triple room for suite without extra money. It was such a nice surprise and made our holidays even more special and comfortable. Guys in reception was so supportive and sweet- always welcomed us with smile, helped us to plan almost each day in Istanbul by giving some advices and also helped to arrange entertainment events - boat trip and dervish dance show. My mom is in the age and always was very supportive toward her by advising the best walking routes around the old town. :)

Bed comfort was not good. The mattress needs to be replaced.

The roof top terrace was beautiful. Buffet breakfast excellent. As was the reliable wi- fi and excellent supply of hot water. Location beyond amazing. Hotel team efficient, helpful and very friendly. Thank you!

The room was a little bit narrow; it is really for sleeping and not for staying there.

The Hotel has an excellent location, five minute from the Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque; very close to a buzzy center but at the same time the hotel was a quite place in a small side street. International and turkisch disches at breakfast, bureks, chees of different sorts, omlet, really sweet fruites and fresh vegetables. The room was very clean, the bed apprpriate.

The terrace sitting area could be cleaner because of birds.

Excellent location and very friendly staff!

My 1st night, I experienced alot of overnight noise

Good breakfast selection in a lovely location, with friendly staff around. Also was helped immediately when I mentioned that I'd prefer not to be in a room next to the road and other noise.

The triple room is a bit small. We can only open one suitcase at a time. But we can live with it seeing the superb location.

Excellent location! Close to most tourist spots in the area. The breakfast buffet is satisfying.

What didn't I like :)

What was there not to like about this hotel. Location is phenomenal, so close to the main centre, historical and major cultural sites. Your view as you walk in the Hagia Sophia! The hotel is also far enough away and tucked in off the back street for privacy and its super quiet. The interior is super cute, clean and lovely and this theme follows throughout the entire hotel. The staff are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and so easy going that you are not feeling constantly bothered and you are given the right amount of space and chit chat. Genuine too and not put on customer service which I love :) Last but not least is the rooftop terrace where you have breakfast every morning. Just wowwww!!! So beautiful, peaceful with all the cute plants and again, the view is stunning. The food is super delicious and what I look forward to in the mornings and they also host an afternoon tea with coffee, tea and cookie's. I enjoyed my stay here so much I stayed a few times during my visit and cancelled another well known hotel to continue my stay here. I felt super comfortable and kinda homely as I got to know everyone. The price was super reasonable, I can't say what the charges would be during the peak summer period as I stayed in low season...although the hotel was popular regardless. I had a super time and would recommend this place to anyone coming to Istanbul. Love love love this hotel!

I mean, don't expect too much, it ain't a 5-star hotel! But neither is the price The AC is a little bit too loud. Also you're going to wake up from the morning prayer

Very friendly staff. Extremely nice location. Perfect for exploring Istanbul. Decent breakfast. Very good value

Nothing!

Everything! Clean, well kitted out room, lovely breakfast on the terrace and central location to many of the sights and shopping areas. Quiet despite being near busy roads and mosques. Shower was brilliant, free toiletries and coffee/water also appreciated after a long flight

Tiny rooms and kind the ones on the first floor next to the reception are noisy - you can hear the staff ordering and daily stuff. No available parking - there are 2 parkings next to the hotel, but are paid additionally for 10-20euro per day depending on Ur bargain skills and car, and they are open and Ur giving the car key which is sketchy.

Location is absolutely perfect for tourist type of holiday. Reception staff is very friendly

The breakfast was boring and same all day, could have improved the breakfast options

Really liked the rooms and how clean it was, although the size of the rooms were small it was not a problem as we were out most of the time, very close to the tram and attractions..

Stayed in January 2024

I don't think there was a lift , if you have mobility problems, make sure you ask for street level room

Being a solo women traveller, l felt very safe here. The staff were attentive but not in your face, which made me feel really welcomed but gave me space to explore. ZSH is in walking distance to sooo many attractions, l was able to pop back to the hotel during the day and resume exploring around this beautiful city easily. I could have done 1 more night in Istanbul. I didn't do any tours but feel now l should have done 1 boat tour which was offered at the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel as it captures the Turkish design. The lovely staff are dressed locally and very warm and welcoming. The location is perfect ( just of the main road but nice and quiet) so many restaurants, shops very very close.

Location: The hotel is right across the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Basilica Cistern. This alone made the stay worth it! Plus it's also near the tram which can easily take you to the area near the Galata Tower. Room: Even though the hotel is near the bustling sights of tourist spots, the room is sound proof so you can't hear much of the noise outside. The cleaning service is also adequate, you can ask to have your towels changed every day (if needed). It is a bit cramped (i.e., not much space if you have too much luggage), but if you're not planning to faff most of the time in the room anyway, the space won't be a problem. Staff: Erol is very helpful and accommodating. He was quick in arranging our airport transfers for us and making sure we got on our flight back home on time. Breakfast: Buffet-style, so for anyone who likes to eat heavy meals for breakfast, this is for you.
