The room is smaller than expected. It does not match the image shown.
The area is bustling and the location is quite near to Hagia Sophia and other tourist spot!

Basement room was okay for our transit flight. Very very close to hagia Sophia and walkable distance to grand bazaar. Made dinner reservation for Nusret when we landed, reached Istanbul using Havaist 11 and was about 10 mins walk to the hotel. Then walked about 20 - 25 mins uphill to grand bazaar for the restaurant reservation and still made it in time for it. Breakfast was really good and ample to choose from.

Hotel was located in a good a area where you can easily eat out and necessities shop was also very near the hotel.
Better than the pictures given. Good clean I’d say. Breakfast can be better but it’s okay.

The hotel is obviously priced comparably cheaper than other hotels and it was stated it is a 3 star hotel so I was not expecting 5 star rooms. That being said, I wouldn’t stay there again. There was a foul sewerage smell coming from the shower drain, and I note other guests have mentioned this in their reviews. This needs to be fixed immediately and is unacceptable in my opinion. At certain times of the day you cannot use the toilet or shower due to the smell. Additionally the towels provided were no longer white and more of yellow colour with many stains. You would not want to use this after a shower. The carpet was highly stained. The breakfast was actually pretty good. The staff at reception and the breakfast area were quick and attentive and arranged airport transport for us. The room size could barely fit two people, although they listed the size on the website. The photos are definitely deceiving; some images show larger rooms for the room you are booking, when obviously it is not the case. If you opened two suitcases in the room, you literally couldn’t walk around. Overall disappointed with this booking. Would not recommend.

Thank you for the best service we have ever witnessed in Istanbul. I came here for a good meal from Kazakhstan with my friends, but also got a very good emotions. Kurban is very intelligent and welcoming person, all the staff was friendly and polite. Thank you!!

COME DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY! Super fun place if you're looking for a sparklers-DJ-dancing-on-a-rooftop vibe. We went late night for some drinks and caught a PARTY instead. If nightclubs are your scene, there's no better way to do it than here because you also have the best view of the blue mosque.

It was a fantastic experience with wonderful hospitality! We ordered drinks and food, and afterward, they generously brought us tea and some sweets on the house. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was delicious. if I visit Istanbul again, I’d definitely come back here. Also, such an amazing view.

I can only give all the praise for the Hotel and the employees. The hotel is in a great location where everything is available to you. From the moment we arrived, the employees welcomed us very warmly and helped us with our luggage. They were happy to help us with any information we needed. The rooms are tidy and are cleaned every morning. I even received a gift for my birthday that was waiting for me in the room to my wonderful surprise. My rating is 10. All recommendations from the bottom of my heart. I can very happily recommend this hotel. Thank you and see you next time. Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina
