The property is fairly clean and pleasant. The rooms are fairly quiet and perfect with a single window to the outside, an extra bed, as for instance and the staff are welcoming. There is a great selection of fabulous food for breakfast. It offers good services. Recommend this place to everyone.

Our accommodation was set in a central location not far from the tram, train & near to marmaray train station and Sultanahmet is a 12 minute walk away. The breakfasts were satisfactory with a great view, couldn't ask for anything better.
