Awesome place, service was incredible, staff made us feel welcome and at home all the time… Breakfast was very ample… great location, walking distance to major tourist places and dining… would definitely recommend and come back!
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very small but the price was right. The location was excellent with a wonderful restaurant right across the street. I would stay here again.
Great location, really nice staff. Included breakfast was convenient and our room was very clean, would recommend for a nice mix of affordable and great location! There is an incredible garden restaurant across the street- don’t miss it!!
Great staff and fantastic location close to good restaurants and sightseeing. Loved the rooftop breakfast. Rooms were comfortable the only complaint was that there were no television channels that were in English.
Absolutely loved our stay here! The room was great and the staff was the best part of the whole experience. Ece is an absolutely amazing GM and really made our stay feel like a home away from home. They made my GF’s bday extra special the morning of and really set us up for a beautiful day. We are definitely looking forward to visiting them again one day as we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. Thank you for the wonderful service!
Manager Alex and entire staff very friendly and welcoming. Location is perfect, breakfast is great. Everything is so clean and the rooms are updated and look better than the pictures. Everyone is so helpful and the price is great.
Excellent hotel, with superb service. Rooms are clean and spacious.
The staff is amazing. Very helpful and caring!! I would recommend this hotel. And will plan my next stay there as well.
Excellent stay in Istanbul - a beautiful small hotel tucked away but close to everything. Didn’t have an elevator but they helped keep all our luggage for us - service and staff were super helpful, great English and breakfast on rooftop with view was spectacular! Again hotel owner and staff were incredible with an early check and help with bags.
We booked the hotel in the last minute for one day to stay in Istanbul and we are glad to do so. Everything about the hotel was amazing.
Great, clean rooms,
Very close to tourist attractions
Great breakfast on top of the hotel where we could see the Bosphorus.
But the most important, The hotel staff, Amazing people! I have no words to describe the way they treated us.
Thank you very much on behalf of my family.
The nicest staff I have ever dealt with. I noticed for myself one thing that the street the hotel is on doesn’t have many cars passing by so it’s pretty quite compare to other areas. All clean rooms and hotel itself. Great stay overall. Rooms a bit small but bathroom is good size. We didn’t stay in room for long so didn’t care much about the room size.
The experience was perfect, the staff is amazing. Special thank to Sultan for his attentions, Verdi for his willigness to help, Ali for his kind logistical arrangement and last but not least Afifa and the breakfast staff that were amazing. Mind you that they can prepare for you things like orange jus and omelette beyond what is presented in the buffet which have its value when you dont find you full classical.breakfast.

The staff is really nice and helpful. They are also very accommodating as we were fasting for Ramadan. They wrapped our breakfast and kept it in their kitchen and allowed us to use the microwave whenever we needed. They also booked our tours. The hotel is in a very convenient location right near SultanAhmet and the tourist attractions. The rooms are very small and there is no elevator.
