Room and property is super clean and in very good condition. Everything works perfectly. Staff is the nicest people you can hope to meet, and pampered me with coffee and turkish delight. Location is outstanding if you like Sultanahmet.

Nice place, great rate
It was a last-minute booking due to some travel drama but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the rooms. It was like staying in a luxury hotel. I didn't need any amenities so didn't ask for anything extra. The area is quite central and close to Hagia Sophia.

The day staff person was so welcoming and helpful! He immediately went over our itinerary and helped us make it more efficient and fun for all of us. He had great restaurant and street food recommendations that we didn’t get from the travel books and got us some great food and atmosphere!
The lower level room had an issue where several of the bedside lights wouldn’t turn off overnight, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.

Creo que en términos generales está ok, precio calidad. Si te quieres hospedar cerca de cosas turísticas es muy buena opción. El personal es súper amable siempre dispuesto a ayudarte. Limpieza implacable siempre y cuando la solicites.

Entrée de l'hôtel triste sombre, pas d'ascenseur pour accéder aux chambres surtout quand on mal aux genoux comme moi, ce n'est pas l'idéal. Très vieilles serviettes de bain.La chose positive c'est la vue sur mer
