Friendly staff, very helpful and accommodating. The location of the hotel is just perfect and so close to historic sites and shopping areas.
Excellent location at the doorstep of the major sights. I walked everywhere from here. The hotel is being refurbished and is currently looking very nice with spacious clean rooms. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was useful to have management’s WhatsApp for questions. The restaurant has a good view. I would happily stay here again.
My experience was excellent overall. As a girl traveling alone I had to deal with some problems and the manager of the hotel helped me solve them all. I felt safe and very welcome. The hotel was at a perfect location and I could move by foot without using public transportation, the room was very clean and cozy. Totally would revisit this hotel.
Staff were nice and tried to help, but the hotel is not comfortable at all. Street noise, bathrooms smell terrible ( sewage smell), no elevator( was a nightmare to transfer luggages on a kind of spiral wooden stairs.
We complained and got our room changed but the smell was still there.
Had only one day in the hotel but it was really pleasant .All the amenities and all the sites that I wanted to visit were on the door step The staff were very helpful and even recommend me to a restaurant which was excellent
This property was one of the best locations I have ever stayed at. The staff and front desk are extremely kind and helpful. The property is located within walking distance of most the major sites and in stones throw of the Blue Mosque. There is a wonderful bazaar right out the front door, great restaurants that are open late all around, and a convenient store 20 feet from the entrance of the hotel. Great hotel, would definitely stay again.

Have been here twice earlier, but wouldn’t come again. The hotel was taken care much better before, but seems after management Change the situation is not the same
Отель находится рядом со многими достопримечательностями. Ресторан отеля находится на террасе с красивым видом, в котором в том числе подают вкусные и сытные завтраки. В номере чисто, убираются каждый день, все работает, кровати очень удобные, постельное белье хорошего качества. Персонал очень внимательный и вежливый, помогал решать любые проблемы. Нам все понравилось. Отдельная благодарность персоналу за помощь и доброжелательность.
Konum olarak harika tam merkezde yer alıyor. Kahvaltı yapmak ya da akşam bir şeyler içmek için çok güzel bir teras katı var. Hem Ayasofya hemde Sultanahmet Cami manzaralı. Otelin en sevdiğim kısmı çay içerek manzarayı seyretmekti. Çalışanlar sıcak ve güler yüzlüler. Birkaç günlük konaklama için ideal. Tekrar tercih edebileceğim oteller listesine eklendi.😌
Very cold Hotel. No phone. Communication through face to face only which is very inconvenient when you are sick also because of that cold. Which they created for us with not having strong heating system. Very cultural.

Disliked: Room comfort
Плюс:очень удобное расположение отеля.
Минус:ужасный запах постельного белья. Ощущение,что на нём уже кто-то спал.
Sadece uyumaya girdik odaya, bu fiyata gayet iyi. Oda ve banyo malzemeleri yeni ve temizdi. 10 m2 ufak bir oda bizim gibi yatmadan yatmaya giricekseniz gayet iyi. Bi konfor beklemeyin ama tabii ki
The hotel is just opposite Blue Mosque you can actually see it from the window. Staying Opposite Sultan Ahmet square. Breakfast was excellent
They change to different food every day. The staff Kerim at the reception was excellent, kind and very helpful.
