Breakfasts were wonderful and always tasty. There was always a sense of home, thanks to a gentle chef who was organizing and cooking everything for visitors.

we stayed in room 404, after refusing accommodation in the new wing of the building. Everything is superlative, the view, the furniture, the comfort of the place to stay. free parking is a big plus, especially in the old city part.

When I arrived at the hotel, the Receptionist Rejeb was very nice and helpful. He allowed me for early check in. He even helped me booked day tour and bosphorous sunset tour. The other staffs Efef and Efe and the two ladies were also nice and answered all my queries. I was given a nice room with a view of the sea. Room are cleaned and they changed the towels everyday. The breakfast area is at the rooftop with good view of the sea. Near restaurants and shopping area. Walking distance to Hajia Sofia and Blue Mosque..10-15 mins walk.

Gabriel 9.0

I love the breakfast, very yummies, friendly staff (pls keep her the one in-charge in the kitchen). Thank you so much for everything.

Mihut 8.0

Location of the hotel is in the centre,near Hagia Sofia,Blue Mosque,Basilica Cistern and Topkapi.It is possible to park your car at the hotel but you must leave the key to the reception.Very good breakfast and the lady who prepares it is very kind.

Mario 9.0

The location is excellent. You are very close to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace and the Blue Mosque. When you want to explore other areas of Istanbul such as Besiktas or Beyoglu you can simply use public transport (tram) or a taxi via uber, taxi will cost you approximently 5€ (200 TL).

Sakib 8.0

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the hotel, largely thanks to the incredible staff. They were not only friendly but also exceptionally warm, attentive, and eager to assist with any request. Efe, Rejib, and possibly Ahmed (though I may have forgotten the exact name) stood out as some of the kindest and most approachable individuals I’ve encountered. They were always smiling, ready to help, and went above and beyond to ensure that guests felt welcome and well taken care of. The hotel itself was spotless, and the location was ideal for sightseeing, with iconic landmarks like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque just a short distance away. For shopping, I highly recommend exploring Eminonu instead of the Grand Bazaar. It's much cheaper for buying gifts, food, and all kinds of items you might want to take home from your trip. Everything here is affordable, making it a great spot for those looking to pick up souvenirs. The Bosphorus tour was also easily arranged for a very reasonable 20 euros through the hotel staff. For those booking a room, I’d recommend reviewing the room photos beforehand, as I found my room to be a bit smaller than expected, though this was a minor detail. Overall, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made my stay unforgettable!
