Ksk 9.0

Having visited from UK, we rate this hotel very highly. Special Thanks to Manager, Tuanna and her staff for outstanding service. We had originally booked for 2 nights but extended our stay to 7 nights here. The hotel is located directly opposite Grand Bazaar and Beyazit Tram Stop and in close proximity of Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque) and many other historic attractions. Breakfast consisted of a large variety of items. Please see our photos.

Nicoleta 10.0

The hotel is conveniently located close to a tram station and easy to go to most touristy places like Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque and The Grand Bazaar. A clean hotel with wonderful employees. The ladies who served breakfast were very nice and attentive and also the gentleman at the front desk who upon request he changed our room with a bigger one. Like most hotels in that part of the city it’s not big and a little dated but it has character. Overall it offered a good experience and good value for the money.

Maria 10.0

Charlotte 9.0

Location, helpful staff, the breakfast, the shower - lots of things to like. Definitely use their airport transfer service 50 euros each way may sound a bit pricey but it is quite a long drive (1h-1.5h with traffic) and it’s stressful getting a taxi at the airport + it cost us more on the way to the hotel. We took the transfer for our return journey and it was stressful getting a free and comfortable.

Cosmin 8.0

The hotel is very centrally located, right across from the Grand Bazaar, which is a big advantage for tourists. The location is excellent, and the breakfast is quite varied and tasty. However, the room I stayed in was rather small and felt a bit cramped. Although I had direct access to the terrace, which was definitely a plus, the overall room size was not very comfortable.

Seelan 10.0

The location, it's 50 meters to the tram and across from the grand bazaar the terrace area on the first floor, The staff were always pleasant and helpful, They allow us to leave our bags when I travelled to Cappadocia and was kept safe until my return ,

Ricardo 10.0

It’s well located, just a 10–15 minute walk to the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, and other key attractions. The street in front of the hotel is closed to traffic, making it quiet outside. Breakfast was reasonable, offering a traditional Turkish spread. Overall, it’s good value for the price we paid. The staff are friendly, special thanks to Emrullah As for the smooth check-out on Sunday.
