The room service and hygiene are really poor, and the standards are inconsistent. Judging by the room rates across all four seasons, it's really not worth it.

The only advantage is the location!
22.08.2025 Jiuxiangyitiandaowanxiang
Aside from the price, there are no other drawbacks. Located right next to the Blue Mosque, you can hear the call to prayer every day, which creates a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The breakfast price is acceptable, but ordering is a bit of a struggle, especially for Chinese stomachs. We recommend adding a Chinese menu. The hotel's shampoo and conditioner are excellent.

I was originally staying for five consecutive nights. Upon arrival, I was dissatisfied with my room and contacted the front desk to resolve the issue. The staff member I was dealing with kept changing their explanations, eventually flatly saying, "I've tried my best to resolve the issue, but you don't seem satisfied. Remember, I'm trying to help you." After receiving this response, I decided to change hotels. I'm grateful to Ctrip customer service for their assistance in resolving the issue. We both shared the same feeling: the staff member's English was incredibly fast and unstandard. Upon checking out, another staff member offered a free upgrade to an executive suite, but I declined, reflecting my current state of mind. The two stars for service go to the other staff members; the night shift staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is pleasant, and the rooms are immaculately clean. On a separate note, there's some renovation work happening across the street from the hotel entrance, which slightly detracts from the overall appearance.

Well, that is the definition of class. A tip for any other hotel - want to make guest leave money in the hotel and stay inside as long as possible without leaving? Then do your thing good.

Amazing stuff, amazing garden, amazing food and drinks, fantastic bed and service implacable yet invisible.

You’re out for a garden coffee for 20 mins?
Your room is done.
Out in the evening for quick nearby shopping?
Your room is done.
You can just be inside for 1-2 days, look at Anya-Sophia on the sunset and have your drinks at the rooftop bar.

That was the best lamb kebab we had in Istanbul in 5-6 visits. Room is fantastic. Garden is amazing and encourages to be nearby doing whatever. Stuff is trained at its best.

Nothing to add. 5 out of 5

The rooms are small, the public areas are also small. It is not a new hotel, but it is well maintained. The facilities are completely incomparable to those of the Peninsula. However, the location is very good, and it is very convenient to go to the surrounding attractions. In particular, there are yachts that can go to another peninsula by the sea. The yachts are great. I suggest that you can stay in the peninsula by the sea, then take a yacht to play in the morning, and take a yacht back in the afternoon. The cost-effectiveness and experience are the best.

In addition, the breakfast is OK, the price is not high, and the cost-effectiveness is OK.

What do I think about this hotel? In the old city, it is very convenient to go to the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia. However, since the hotel is converted from an old building, the room is not very big. However, since it has been renovated, the whole room is very modern. I especially like its service staff because they are quite considerate and the overall feeling is very good. However, if you want to enjoy SPA or sauna, you may have to go to the driver in Bruce Strait to use it. However, there are shuttle buses between hotels.

Handy location in the Old City, very close to key sites, and with its own interesting history. Luxurious, well maintained, and comfortable accommodation and courtyard garden. Great service. Shuttle service to sibling property on the edge of the Bosphorus.
29.10.2024 Guest
The hotel is in a very good location, and it takes no more than 5 minutes to walk to the main attractions in the old city, such as the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, etc. The hotel facilities are very exquisite and the service is also very good, but the room is not big and the view outside the window is average.
13.10.2024 ZhizuchangleYXL
The location is excellent, less than ten minutes' walk to the two major mosques and one minute away from the popular terrace at Seven Hills. The hotel is the best choice in the old town. The service is a little lacking. There were not many guests for dinner and the food was served very slowly. We promised to make an appointment for the Turkish bath, but we were stood up. However, the breakfast was delicious and the concierge service was very good.
23.09.2024 Theresa
For those who prefer a discreet and high service hotel experience, this is the best hotel from which to see the sites in Istanbul. It is a boutique hotel--only 65 rooms. The location, decor, service, room quality, and location are exceptional. There is a free shuttle (land or boat) between the FS properties.
