Guest Reviews

Belma 10.0

The location of the hotel is amazing. Its in walk distance to all the major touristy attractions. Room was genuinely spacious for three people. The view from the breakfast area is absolutely stunning. All the reception staff was very friendly. Especially, Doğan. He went out of his way to make our stay easier. And was very helpful with everything that we needed, including arranging our transfer from and to airport. As well as bosphorus cruise etc. All in all, everything was great, and we will definitely come back, again.

Youssef 8.0

Great location, great staff, very friendly indeed. Breakfast was not super, but it is indeed very good value for money. The only downside was that the room was smaller than it looks in the images on Booking; however, still a great value for money.

Dale 8.0

Nice central location in the Sultanamet district within easy walking distance of many key historical sites. The hotel was nice, staff were pleasant, and the breakfast very good. Like many hotels in Istanbul this is an older but well maintained building. That also means it can be noisier than some hotels as hall conversations echo and elevator doors clang. Overall, a nice place to stay.

Kim 10.0

Brilliant location so close to many sights and easy walk to the key T1 tram network. Great warm hearted and helpful staff. Family hotel feel. Breakfast had good variety and breakfast room has such a great sea view. Very solid choice for our 4 day stay.

Denisa 10.0

I really liked the location of the hotel. We had a room with a balcony and a sea view. The room was clean, with fresh towels every day. The receptionists were very friendly, especially Mr. Dogan, who went out of his way to make our stay in Istanbul easier. He was always available whenever we needed him. The hotel is close to Sultanahmet, so we were near all the major attractions. There is also an excellent tram connection near the hotel. We will definitely return to this hotel again.
