The location was the best and comfortable as for me, not far from the shops and restaurants as well as the blue mosque and Ayasofia. It was huge, extremely pleasant and with an extra bed.

My deluxe triple room was fine and very well kept. Its location to different restaurants in Sultanahmed at night for great views was marvellous. I usually went to Aynen Durum to grab a bite.

Overall had special stay for my holidays. Huge, great-sized room on level 2, everything was superb. The hotel had freshly cooked breakfasts with a great view and cheese, as for instance. The setting was strategic, right by many famous attractions in Istanbul such as blue mosque as a Sophia, the Hagia Sophia, Bassilica cistern and the Blue Mosque, and other markets and grand Bazar. Old City Sultanahmet district was worth staying in.

The hotel was in a marvellous position next to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, shops and eateries are right outside, the main square in Istanbul and the major historic sites, shopes, restaurants and tram in Sultanahmet. The rooms were huge and reasonably spacious and we could park nearby. We appreciated the terrace.

I liked the place, everything was good. I had an amazing superior room with a nice view over the skyline of Istanbul. The location was marvellous, you can visit an Ottoman - era Friday mosque by walking. The hotel was in a historic area, short walk to both mosques, Sultanahmet, the 'Old Town' of Istanbul and Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. The breakfast in the rooftop restaurant for choice for restaurants was delicious and tasty.
