Friendly enough staff for Istanbul. Great balcony with sea view and a surprisingly good breakfast. Plenty of restaurants close by and a short walk to the centre of old town. The place overall needs a little TLC.

Very well located hotel, close to a vibrant area and near Blue Mosque and other nice places in Sultanahmet. Breakfast is ok, with Turkish specialties. Our room was tiny, barely fits our luggage, but in general was a good stay.

Very Cozy and Rustic Feel Hotel.

The location of the hotel is very convenient. This hotel has breakfast included and is overall very good. The hotel staff are very friendly and courteous. Mert is an amazing host, and very friendly. If only the mattresses were comfortable I would have given it more that 5 starts. Overall, great experience staying there, and I would recommend it.
