Everything was very good, including genuinely professional staff especially the manager. Stayed in new-fashioned and fine deluxe room on the photos attached. Had a coffeemaker and fridges at our disposal. The location was best possible next to a Malaysian Restaurant serving delicious food. There was Kanaat Bufe nearby, offering quick meals. It was a newly decorated and pleasant hotel, no complaint, strongly recommend.

Make sure you stay in the deluxe room with a the biggest balcony as well as wi fi. The setting is best possible and convenient, next to tram station, istanbul for 14 years plenty eateries around location and the center of Sultanahmet. Besides, we really enjoyed the lake, located within 5 mins walk of the hotel.
