The room and hotel were very clean. The breakfasts were excellent. We were challenged working the a/c but that may just been us. We would stay again.

Excelent stay. Steps to the blue mosque. Personnel is very helpful. I would like to mention breakfast lady si reception young guy. Definitely best choice for our style.

09.10.2025 Nancy

I was appalled when we saw the actual hotel - the photos on the ad must have been photoshopped, because it looked nothing like the pics - especially our room. Room was tiny, was not 2 twin beds as requested and pictured, and the bedding consisted of a fitted sheet with no top sheet - just a cotton throw which did not reach the sides of the bed. I do wonder about the validity of the reviews on this hotel....they can't have had the same experience. The breakfast was good, and Sabir on reception was a huge help to us...kudos to him. I needed to go home 2 days early (medical emergency) but the management would not refund the last 2 nights.

Very comfortable hotel, just a short distance from some of the main sights.

Fabulous staff, especially the manager Hikmet, who went out of his way to ensure that each and every guest received the best of care.

This hotel is remarkable for the price with its accommodating and helpful staff, easy walking to major sites and generous room size and basic necessities. This is a busy street and the noise comes through even with windows closed.

11.09.2025 Muhammad

Wry lovely place to stay, convenient to see all the major attractions around area, shops are literally everywhere for shopping and dining and most importantly hotel management very friendly and helpful. I arrived at 3 o’clock in the morning and they let me check in without any hassle and offered all the support I needed. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good place to stay as well as shopping and dining at their doorstep.

15.08.2025 Cyril

This hotel is very convenient for all things under one roof. Very nice hotel and I wish I could come again.

04.06.2025 Guest

Wonderful hotel! Smiling administrators, breakfasts, cleanliness in the room, linen - I liked it very much! The furniture in the hotel is good, the air conditioner works well. It's a 10-minute walk to Sofia, and the same to the Sea of Marmara. The Snow supermarket is 600 meters away.

05.12.2022 Kifaya

Ghastly experience. Looked good from outside however food was over an hour in waiting. The waiter didn't seem bothered and more concerned with his phone or doing business with others on the sidewalk. When the food did arrive, it had no taste. The meat seemed old and rubbery. The pasta far too salty and was left by the kids.

The cost was very expensive and more than double other places we visited.

Would never go again.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The service was impeccable, the rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.

The location was perfect, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and luxurious. I can confidently say this was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommended – I will definitely be coming back!

12.05.2025 Maryam

I stayed at this hotel with my father for 7 days. The location is impeccable. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the hippodrome and it was really worth it. The breakfast was also very good and varied and the view was just wonderful. But the best part of this hotel was its kind, professional and friendly staff. Everyone, from the ladies who prepared breakfast, to the house keepers, to the receptionists, were all extremely warm and friendly. Mr. Mesut, the manager was incredibly helpful and gave us a lot of good guidance on what to do and see. He was really polite, kind nad professional. I can't say enough about how welcome him and his team made us feel. Next time we are in Istanbul, we will do our best to book a room with them again. 5 stars.

20.03.2025 Rosario
