Great location! Middle of all the great sights, but not on a main road so quiet. Breakfast was amazing with lots of variety and a chance to try local fare. Staff were all very friendly and attentive.

Staff could not have been nicer. We were welcomed on arrival with traditional Turkish apple tea and Turkish delight. The front desk were very helpful organising a trip to the Hamam for us. Breakfast was nice and location great for transportation and main attractions.

Rostislav 9.0

Warm welcome. Everything is clean. Decent breakfast. Rooms may feel small for somebody, but they are okay. Some rooms are in the basement, but it doesn't matter if you don't expect a city view.

Very helpful staff on reception when we arrived. Given a welcome drink and some Turkish delight. This is a small hotel but with high standards - the breakfast is very good. The location was also perfect for our brief stay.

The hotel is located near Istanbul's tourist area. The hospitality of the staff is well known, well done to them! The room was very clean, everything was just right. From the terrace, where breakfast is served, you can admire Hagia Sophia in all its splendor.
