I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The room was good, comfortable but a bit small, The customer service was outstanding (Thank you so much Ibrahim)!!! The location was very good with good access to everything I needed during my trip. The breakfast was also very good! generous, fresh, and way above the usual hotel standard. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it :)

It is a superb hotel, close to all the tourist attractions, the rooms are extremely clean, the staff is extremely professional and welcoming, Mr. Tarik was very helpful, explaining to me on a map all the areas and nearby attractions, as well as the entire staff, even though I had some difficulties speaking English, they were very patient, a hotel that I will definitely choose again when I return to Istanbul!

Great hotel and really good value for money. Includes a nice Turkish style breakfast and excellent location. Reception staff Ardo and Berdan were really helpful whenever we needed anything and spoke good English.

Great hotel location, friendly staff, especially Ibrahim who helped us with our every need. Room was spacious and clean. Hotel close to all local historical locations including grand bazaar and blue masjid. Would highly reccomend.

Location was amazing! Close to the bazaar, blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, the castle, restaurants! The staff was amazing and the rooftop bar was wonderful and they made the best lime mojito I think I’ve ever had! Rooms are smaller and beds are a bit stiff but ok. Would stay again.

Avoid at all costs - not suitable for women at all
Room-had minimal yellow lighting and faced a stairway no sunlight-the hotel manager told me he was doing me a favour- apparently I had booked one single and one double but he had given me a quadruple and a double!I had in fact booked two double rooms. Two days later a smaller room was made available to us which we had to decline as there was no space to even open a suitcase fully!
On the first morning for breakfast-the eggs had finished in the serving buffet we were told this would cost an extra 5 euros however as it was our first day they would give it us for free-Quite a shock as we had already paid for breakfast
The highlight of this trip was when my wallet went missing from my room-it was there the night before and after breakfast as we were leaving the hotel I noticed it was not in my bag-however when I questioned the hotel about this the manager advised me no one apart from housekeeping had been in my room and she had worked there for over six years ... hence definitely could not be a thief!
Final straw was as we were leaving the hotel - on the 1st day we were advised the drinks were free in the room - we actually double checked this with them - as we were in the taxi two men run up to my father and said pay for them and tried to pry open the taxi and get aggresive! Would not even check with the initial person who told us they were free!
Finally the manager had no respect for women at all – almost dismissed all my concerns and did not take me seriously at all

Checked us in early which helped a lot. We came from a cruise so we looked forward to early check in and walk to grand bazaar
26.05.2025
Location is perfect. Steps away from the tram stop. Short walks to major sites. Incredible breakfast. The staff could not be more attentive and helpful. They go over and above basic service. Shower is small. Beds very comfortable. Surprisingly quiet. Highly recommend

Great location!
This is a smaller hotel conveniently located in the old city. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They gave us great information which made it easy for us to make our plans on what to visit and where to eat. We could walk to most everything including the Blue Mosque.
The hotel is clean and nice. There is a wonderful bar upstairs with great views. The rooms are good size and quite comfortable. We loved having a room where we could look out on the street and feel connected to the area.
We would definitely stay here 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!

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.
