The breakfast was gorgeous and delicious with views of the Marmara or the Blue Mosque, and all the food was fabulous. The location was great and brilliant, for example, a functioning mosque was just a pleasant stroll away from the hotel. And the area was wonderful, near to the historical centre of Istanbul, the historical center and the tram and tourists attraction...

Clean place with polite and courteous staff members and garden views. Modest superior family room, very comfy beds. Great location relatively near Sultanahmet District Public Square. Found in a secure part of the town. Easy reach of the train station, 10 minutes on foot. Wonderful stay which was 4 nights.
Wi-Fi was quite slow.
