Perfect hotel, exceptionally clean, outstandingly accommodating staff, location near the main tourist sights in the Sultanahmet District of Istanbul was absolutely perfect. The breakfast with a piece of cake and cheese and slice of salami was large and complimentary for what you got. The beds were big, I slept well. Thanks to a very good service I had a really nice stay. Also, free Wi-Fi throughout the property was really handy.
The views were not bad.

Small hotel with nice design. Compact room, new-fashioned, with a good view, an even stinkier toilet and curtains fixed. Excellent, marvellous location in the alley. Again, not far from Basilica Cistern. No complaints whatsoever, very relaxing stay for 8 nights.

Actually, the room was neat and functional with twin beds, it also had wake-up service. Exceptional service, even though a few employees were racist.
Well, Wi-Fi signal was very weak.

The excellent location was not very far from Basilica Cistern. There were local markets and a small market around the hotel.
The area was really noisy.

Came with my father, everything was very good. The room was big with an exceptionally comfortable bed and a shower, a hairdryer and bath sheets in the bathroom. The location was great, minutes away from a byzantine basilica museum. They offered me great meals, had a lot of options to choose from.

The service was helpful with parking nearby. The room was wonderful and beautiful, the decor was cosy. Everything was great, even so a few employees were dirty. The location was AWESOME close to Grand Bazaar, metres from a Holy mosque.
Views were not bad.

Would return here, liked its location. Exceptionally clean and quaint place, has amazing views of the ocean. The hotel's staff are exceedingly nice and very pleasant. It is located metres from a mosque and a tower and that's particularly good and stunning: )

Lovely small and famous place with good Wi-Fi and rooftop restaurant. New-fashioned standard twin room with views of the sea. Amazing location, a walking distance from Basilica Cistern. Based close enough to the main sights of Instambul, in an area also restricted to the main stream of traffic, the most wonderful Topkapi Palace, and the Sultanahmet District in Istanbul.

Modest, small property. In the heart of Istanbul and close to restaurants and eateries. Also close to a tram station. Bright and spacious rooms with bospherous view, curtains fixed, as example, courteous staff.
A bit small bathroom.

Fuego Restaurant, where you can eat, is just a walk down to the hotel. A kitchen available. Topkapi palace was located in the immediate surroundings. Really perfect location. We would like to stay longer.
