I stayed at this hotel for three more days after checking in for one night, and stayed there for the entire Istanbul trip. Every morning, I could hear the sound of the waves and see the sunrise when I opened the window. The hotel also thoughtfully provided tourist maps for its guests. I would definitely choose this hotel again if I have the chance to come to Istanbul again.

Great location and friendly staff. Small hotel. We were complimented with Turkish coffee, and after that, you don't even notice the little things.
We stayed for one night. Great location for seeing the main sights in one day.
I can't fully rate the breakfast because we left early in the morning, and some of the dishes we ordered (scrambled eggs, etc.) weren't ready yet. But what was ready was delicious.
Overall, we liked it. I recommend it.

The hotel's superb location inspires you to return to explore even more of wonderful Istanbul. The service is excellent. The staff is very attentive, caring, and responsive, ensuring travelers' comfort and convenience. The room is cozy, clean, and quiet, with a breathtaking view. Thank you! Wishing you prosperity🍀

A wonderful, small, stylish hotel with a stunning sea view. Walking distance to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the cisterns, and the red double-decker bus stop. Delicious on-site restaurant. Highly recommended!

We were super comfortable in this hotel! The staff is the nicest. The room is small, but quite comfortable. Towels were changed daily, water in the room was renewed daily. Super veranda for breakfasts with a view of the strait 😍 the location is convenient.
The only thing I would change is the breakfast menu. They were too much the same every day and there was not enough "Turkishness" like local sweets, etc.

Great little hotel for a weekend.
Service and facilities are excellent.
Breakfasts were better than in all the options around. Don't look for them, better go to breakfast at the hotel - the same menemen, pastries, vegetables, fruits, cheeses and everything that is included in any Turkish breakfast)
The mattress and pillows are comfortable, the bed linen is snow-white, the plumbing is in good condition and there is good water pressure.
The only thing to keep in mind is that if you go on your own, you will have to walk on the cobblestones with your suitcases. It is better to take a transfer from the airport to the hotel and back (compare prices on different services), we regretted that we went from the port ourselves and got a lot of strange unnecessary experience))

Beautiful hotel, excellent staff. Walking distance to Mosques and other sightseeing opportunity. Rooms are a bit small, but so VERY clean and well kept. Beds are comfortable and quiet despite busy road in front. Restaurant was delicious and breakfast offering perfect. Stay here if you can!

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
