The rooms were good-sized with ac and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. The location was marvellous and particularly good for walking around a byzantine basilica museum.

I enjoyed the hotel, it was ideal and immaculately clean with top and best possible location unique to hotels in the area. Location: the venue was really close to the Blue Mosque, the Sultanahmet tram stop, and Hagia Sofia/ Sultan Ahmet / Grand Bazar from here. The vibe here was family.

A pleasant hotel, my first choice in Istanbul. Excellent place for discovering Istanbul with amazingly nice and incredibly kind staff upon my first request. Marvellous location relatively close to a historic mosque. Walking distance to a palace and a tower while being in the commercial area. Delicious breakfast with meats, an amazing view, ample juice

Deluxe hotel, favourable location. A terrace is why we chose it. Good choice for 3 nights.
