The hotel is somewhat faded, but everything was functioning well and the hotel was very clean. Breakfast was plentiful with great choices and the ladies taking care of it were very friendly and made absolutely sure that everything was replenished when necessary. The location is excellent.

Előd 8.0

We had a lovely stay at this hotel in Istanbul. From our window we had a direct view of the Blue Mosque, which was truly special. The location is excellent – just a few hundred meters from the main attractions, all easily reachable on foot. The neighborhood is pleasant, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, bars, and supermarkets within a short walking distance. The receptionist (possibly the owner) was extremely helpful and kind, and we are very grateful for his assistance. The hotel itself is nice, although space is a bit limited. The rooms are simply furnished, but for a few days of sightseeing they are perfectly adequate. Breakfast was average but filling, offering bread and pastries, cold cuts, fresh vegetables and fruit, as well as eggs and other hot dishes, jams, tea, and coffee – plenty to start the day well.

Locations is perfect

Rasa 10.0

Location could not better, it is in the middle of restaurant street, and nearby two main mosques. You could walk anywhere by foot, or take a tram with stop being 7 minutes away. Hotel and room itself is very simple but clean, has everything what you would need for a stay. Coffee and tea and some sweets are available all the time, staff is very helpful with all the questions you would have. Breakfast location is amazing, upper floor terace. Food is simple, but it is enough for the start of the day.

Vasilii 10.0

It’s in the middle of the tourist area, but very quiet inside the hotel and rooms. Very nice atmosphere, genuinely helpful staff, attention to detail. Not too much variety but very good breakfast buffet. Amazing view from the breakfast restaurant 😍. Will definitely come back 💯
