Cleaning room perfect,buffet breakfast very good,staff helpful .I appreciate to stay here for 6 days. The location is close of attractions. Very Happy
Claude, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant hotel, located close to some of the main attractions in Sultanahmet - and within easy reach (5mins walk) of two tram lines. The room and bathroom offered everything needed (including a fridge, free bottled water daily and air conditioning), the breakfast buffet had a good range of options, for an evening meal there was an on-site (paid) restaurant - and the staff were very welcoming and friendly.

The hotel is the ideal location to visit Istanbul. Just few minutes (3 min. by foot) from Agya Sofia. The area is full of nice restaurants (the hotel has its own too). The room was brand new and clean. The crew was alwayd kind and ready to satisfy my requests. I totally recommend it if you visit Istanbul as a tourist.

Service here is exceptional! Breakfast is great. Hardwood floor had gaps where dirt collects. I recommend replacing floors. Baseboards are filthy. Bathroom was clean. Bedding was clean with exception of spread which we took off the bed and put in closet. All in all it was great for the value.

6/10 Good

Lovely hotel centrally located. Very clean and staff friendly and helpful. Bed was hard. Balcony had dead pot plants and was very dirty. Loud music playing 3 doors down to 1pm each night. Had to sleep with a pillow over my ear to block out the noise.
