Excellent location, clean and comfortable.

Excellent location at the doorstep of the major sights. I walked everywhere from here. The hotel is being refurbished and is currently looking very nice with spacious clean rooms. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was useful to have management’s WhatsApp for questions. The restaurant has a good view. I would happily stay here again.

small but big at heart

Had only one day in the hotel but it was really pleasant .All the amenities and all the sites that I wanted to visit were on the door step The staff were very helpful and even recommend me to a restaurant which was excellent

10/10 Exceptional

This property was one of the best locations I have ever stayed at. The staff and front desk are extremely kind and helpful. The property is located within walking distance of most the major sites and in stones throw of the Blue Mosque. There is a wonderful bazaar right out the front door, great restaurants that are open late all around, and a convenient store 20 feet from the entrance of the hotel. Great hotel, would definitely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

My experience was excellent overall. As a girl traveling alone I had to deal with some problems and the manager of the hotel helped me solve them all. I felt safe and very welcome. The hotel was at a perfect location and I could move by foot without using public transportation, the room was very clean and cozy. Totally would revisit this hotel.
Iro, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff were nice and tried to help, but the hotel is not comfortable at all. Street noise, bathrooms smell terrible ( sewage smell), no elevator( was a nightmare to transfer luggages on a kind of spiral wooden stairs. We complained and got our room changed but the smell was still there.

Отель находится рядом со многими достопримечательностями. Ресторан отеля находится на террасе с красивым видом, в котором в том числе подают вкусные и сытные завтраки. В номере чисто, убираются каждый день, все работает, кровати очень удобные, постельное белье хорошего качества. Персонал очень внимательный и вежливый, помогал решать любые проблемы. Нам все понравилось. Отдельная благодарность персоналу за помощь и доброжелательность.

Merkezi, manzaralı ve rahat👍

Konum olarak harika tam merkezde yer alıyor. Kahvaltı yapmak ya da akşam bir şeyler içmek için çok güzel bir teras katı var. Hem Ayasofya hemde Sultanahmet Cami manzaralı. Otelin en sevdiğim kısmı çay içerek manzarayı seyretmekti. Çalışanlar sıcak ve güler yüzlüler. Birkaç günlük konaklama için ideal. Tekrar tercih edebileceğim oteller listesine eklendi.😌

Very honest and sincere.

Very cold Hotel. No phone. Communication through face to face only which is very inconvenient when you are sick also because of that cold. Which they created for us with not having strong heating system. Very cultural.
