The hotel is located in a perfect position to visit the old town. The staff is very kind and gave us a lot of good suggestions to enjoy our holiday. The room was clean and for breakfast there was a wide choice of beverage and food. I spent 4 nights here with a friend and we recommend it!

Kuroki 10.0

The staff were very friendly and hospitable. The location was super convenient for sightseeing. The included breakfast was really tasty. It was really good value overall. You can book a shuttle bus through them also, which was much cheaper than a taxi.

Peter 8.0

The location is superb. Literally, you can not reserve a better-placed hotel for the main attractions. The Cistern is less than a 1-minute walk, Aya-Sofia 3 mins, Blue Mosque 10, Topkapi 10, but you can not get closer. It is along T1 tram (halfway 2 stops :-(, no, I am kidding, 3-minute walk kill none). The staff is friendly, the hotel is clean, and the breakfast is good. There are restaurants around and a coffee-roaster on the other side of the street.

Brian 10.0

The location was very close to several tourist sites. It's between the Hagia Sophia/Blue mosque and Topkapi palace. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about the area, and helped us with basic tourist questions (how to put money on a train card, etc. ). The morning breakfast was amazing, and based out of a restaurant that we later had a fantastic dinner at. We did a tour that the hotel helped us book. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the nearest tram stop. All in all, I cannot praise them enough.

Vagia 10.0

Our stay was truly exceptional. The property is ideally located in the city center, providing great convenience for exploring the area. The staff were remarkably attentive and went above and beyond to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. The on-site restaurant was also of excellent quality, adding further value to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the city. Thank you MUSTAFA and MUZAFFER!!

Stanislav 10.0

Daria 10.0

Wonderful Stay! Had a fantastic time at this hotel! The transfer service was very convenient, and the staff were incredibly helpful – even assisted with booking a taxi. I was surprised with a birthday cake, which was such a lovely touch. The hotel is pet-friendly and in a perfect central location. Highly recommend and would love to come back!
